With the help of PCB to upgrade Dongfeng, ceramic substrates emerge suddenly

On December 6, the 2017 International Circuit Board and Electronic Assembly South China Exhibition officially opened at the Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. In the exhibition, various electronic assembly applications such as intelligent automation instruments, high-density circuit boards and Internet of Things equipment all reflect the rapid development of the global ceramic substrate industry. You know, ceramic substrates are currently the best new material substrates. Almost all electronic products will use ceramic substrates. Then, as a major producer and consumer of electronic products, what is the status of the ceramic substrate market in China?

Since the financial crisis in 2009, the global PCB industry has generally shown a recovery and growth trend. Due to the impact of the macro economy, the total output value of the global PCB industry in 2010-2016 showed a small fluctuation trend. In 2017, the peak of PCB board was officially ushered. Because of the national environmental protection policy and the increase in demand, the PCB industry successfully turned over in 2017, and the imbalance in supply caused the PCB price to rise sharply. And under this rising situation, it is a good time for the official ceramic substrate to bend overtaking.

With the continuous development of electronic information technology, the market demand for ceramic substrates with high thermal conductivity and high stability will become more prominent. With the continuous improvement of ceramic substrate product technology, production equipment and process requirements, its expansion cycle will also be greatly extended, and market demand will continue to rise due to the rapid development of terminal electronic products.

Since the National Development and Reform Commission implemented the national industrial structure adjustment policy, China's PCB industry has been developing continuously, but it has also ushered in industrial turbulence such as rising costs and limited plant expansion. At the same time, rising labor and raw material costs will also drive the gradually mature Chinese PCB The industry has entered the road of transformation ahead of schedule.

In view of the development of the PCB, Stoneon started the plan for overtaking on the curve. Ceramic substrates have always been high due to the yield rate, raw material costs and other reasons. However, in 2017, the entire ceramic substrate market has also undergone tremendous changes. With the support of the country for the implementation of production, education and research projects and new materials, ceramic substrate enterprises headed by Stoneon have greatly improved the production process and production technology, combined with high-tech scientific research and technology, to achieve the world's top level of ceramic substrates. However, the price of ceramic substrates has not risen sharply like PCB s. On the contrary, because of technological advancement and cost reduction, the price has been repeatedly reduced. The price gap between ordinary PCBs and ceramic substrates will become smaller and smaller. Once ordinary PCB loses its price advantage, it will be uncompetitive in the face of ceramic substrates.
Summary:
Under the trend that the total value of the global PCB industry is gradually picking up, China's PCB industry will transform from production capacity advantages to technological advantages, which is also a new requirement for industrial upgrading. Under the new requirements, ceramic substrates will break the shackles and emerge suddenly.
