China accounted for more than half of the global PCB marke:

Printed circuit board (PCB) products have been used commercially since 1948, rising in popularity and is used widely since the 1950s.The traditional PCB industry is labor-intensive industries with low technology intensity of the semiconductor industry. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the semiconductor industry has gradually shifted from the United States and Japan to Taiwan and mainland China ahead of the semiconductor industry.Till now, China has become influential PCB manufacturers in the world, accounting for over 50% of the global output value PCB.In 2018, although China Taiwan still won the title with 31.3% of global market share, the share of mainland China also reached 23%, and market share and growth rate continues to rise, gradually pushing Taiwan leading to position.Together, they account for 54, 3% of the value of global PCB output, firmly occupying the NO.1 position.

After many years of accumulation, the domestic PCB industry has gradually become mature. Chinese mainland, as the main production areas of single-layer PCB, further extending to the middle and high-end market.By end of 2018, the output value and growth rate of the Chinese PCB industry reached a record high, with output value reached 34.5 billion US dollars, with growth year-on-year from 16.0%.

As electronic products downstream pursue the development trend of light, thin, short and small, the PCB continued to develop towards high-precision, high integration and thinness.However, compared with Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other regions of PCB products in mainland China is still dominated by single and double panel, multilayer boards under 8 layers and other low-end products.In 2017, multilayer boards accounted for 41.5% of PCB products in China.
Currently, there are about 1500 companies PCBs in mainland China, mainly distributed in areas with a high concentration of the electronics industry, the high demand for basic components and good transportation condition, the condition of water and electricity, such as the pearl river delta, Yangtze river delta and bohai rim .Among them, guangdong and Jiangsu have a high level of concentration. In 2017, the sales revenue of PCB industry Guangdong accounted for 46.26% of the industry, and 34.77% of the industry of Jiangsu, which together accounted for 81%, with a high local concentration.

China is an influential electronic products basic information world of manufacturing and consumer markets, with the progress "made in China 2025", in the mobile Internet, Internet of things, big data and cloud computing, artificial intelligence, driverless cars such as emerging markets have emerged a number of well-known companies in the world, to form a complete set of electronics manufacturing industry to provide more opportunities for development.

In addition, since 2019, Henan, Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Jiangxi, Chongqing and other places have issued an action plan or plans to support the emergence industry.With 5G 5G commercial era, the development of network infrastructure such as base stations, is being accelerated, and 5G communications equipment have higher requirements on communication materials and greater demand. Therefore, big operators will invest more in the development of 5G in the future, so that the communication PCB will have a large market in future.It estimated that by 2022, the output value of PCB China will surpass $ 40 billion, and in 2024, the output value will reach us $ 43.8 billion, so there is great room for improvement market size.

iPCB is also one of the growing factories.
