TechNavio recognizes the following companies as the key players in the Global PCB market: Ibiden Co. Ltd., Tripod Technology Corp., Unimicron Technology Corp., and Zhen Ding Technology Holding Ltd.
Commenting on the report, an analyst from TechNavio’s team said: “One of the main trends witnessed in the Global PCB market is the increasing demand for miniaturized PCBs Currently, the demand for compact and small-sized electronic devices is increasing, leading to a reduction in the size of PCBs used in these devices. PCBs are very dense with many layers of interconnected wires as they are designed to perform a wide range of functions. These miniaturized PCBs are used in most of the compact devices such as smartphones, tablet computers, and digital cameras. This trend is expected to grow more rapidly in the future and lead to the development of highly miniaturized PCBs.”
According to the report, one of the main factors driving the market is high adoption of smartphones and tablet PCs. Smartphones are designed to operate at a high speed with multi-functional features embedded in these devices. Consumers demand smaller devices, but capable of integrating more number of features. HDI PCBs are majorly used in smartphones.
Further, the report states that one of the main challenges is the increasing prices of raw materials. Due to the shortage of supply of these raw materials and commodities, there has been an increase in the prices. This increase in raw material and component prices negatively affects the vendors’ profit margins.
The report also includes a discussion of the other vendors operating in this market. The other vendors in the market are AT&S Austria Technologies & Systemtechnik Aktiengesellschaft, chin-poon Industrial Co. Ltd., CMK Corp., Compeq Co. Ltd., DAEDUCK Electronics Co.
