Application Scope of PCB
PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is widely used in computer, communication, consumer electronics, industrial control medical, military, semiconductor and automotive industries, involving almost all electronic information products. Among them, computer, communication and consumer electronics are the three main application fields, accounting for about 70% of the output value of PCB industry.
As the industry with the highest proportion of downstream applications, the demand for PCB in computer industry will directly affect the development of PCB industry. According to the report of Zhiyan Consulting Group in June 2017, China's electronic information manufacturing industry ranked fifth among 41 industries in the country in 2015, with an increase of 10.5%. Income and profit increased by 7.6% and 7.2% respectively, higher than the average level of industry in the same period, accounting for 10.1% and 8.8% of the total industry, respectively.
According to the data of the National Bureau of Statistics, the output of notebook computers and microcomputers in China declined year by year after reaching a peak around 2013, but the outlay for new product development showed an upward trend in general.
Due to the weakening of the demographic dividend advantage, the rising cost of financing, the appreciation of RMB and other factors, the cost of factor of production of manufacturing enterprises in China is rising.
With the implementation of the Reindustrialization strategy in developed countries and the improvement of investment environment in Southeast Asian countries, the trend of computer industry returning to developed countries and transferring to Southeast Asian countries has gradually emerged, and the risk of overseas transfer of manufacturing industry has increased.
At the same time, affected by the global economic downturn, the growth rate of the computer industry shows a downward trend, and the global PC, server and other hardware market continues to weaken. However, compared with electronic products such as medical equipment, industrial control equipment and household appliances, PC products are still updating faster. The market demand base of PC is large. Tablet computers based on industry applications are also put into Chinese market, such as catering industry, entertainment industry or tourism industry. This will further promote the tablet computer market in China. Development.
Chinese enterprises are facing the pressure of enterprise transformation and product upgrading. It is predicted that the demand for middle and low-end PCB products will further decline in the future, while the demand for high-end PCB will increase.
