The upstream and downstream of the PCB manufacturing industry are divided, and raw materials account for about 60% of the PCB manufacturing cost, which accounts for a large proportion. Copper foil, copper balls, copper foil substrates, prepregs, inks, dry films, gold salts, and other products are the primary raw materials required for PCB manufacturing. Among them, copper-clad laminates account for the most significant proportion of PCB manufacturing material costs (approximately 37%). The downstream industries of PCB manufacturers are widely distributed, covering multiple application areas. Mainly include automotive electronics, communication equipment, consumer electronics, industrial control equipment, medical electronics, clean energy, smart security, aerospace products, etc.

The supply and price level of upstream raw materials of PCB manufacturers determine the production costs of PCB manufacturers, and changes in the prosperity of the downstream industries of PCB manufacturers will directly affect the demand and price of PCBs. Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) accounts for about 40% of the entire PCB manufacturing material cost and has the most significant impact on the cost of PCB manufacturing. CCL is a plate-shaped material made of wood pulp paper or glass fiber cloth as a reinforcing material, impregnated with a resin glue, covered with copper foil on one or both sides and hot pressed. Copper foil is a kind of harmful electrolytic material, a thin, continuous metal foil deposited on the PCB base layer; as the conductor of the PCB, it plays an essential role in conducting and dissipating heat in the PCB. The copper foil production industry has a high degree of concentration. The top ten global copper foil producers account for 73% of the worldwide copper foil output. Therefore, they have strong bargaining power over the entire copper foil industry. Thus, the price increase of the upstream raw material copper can shift downwards and affect the price changes of circuit boards.

The PCB manufacturing industry is the primary industry of the electronic information industry and is indispensable in electronic products. Its downstream application fields cover communications, home appliances, industrial control, medical, aerospace, automotive electronics, computers, and other fields. Communication electronics, computers, and consumer electronics have become the top three application areas of PCB. Smartphones have gradually become the main driving force for the development of the PCB industry and have become the fastest-growing field of PCB applications.

The global PCB output value has increased year by year, benefiting from automotive electronics and the rising demand for consumer electronics. China has gradually become the main production base for global PCB manufacturing.Since the worldwide epidemic has steadily recovered, consumer demand that was suppressed last year has rebounded rapidly, and the PCB manufacturing industry has ushered in a period of rapid growth.The emergence of emerging technology industries such as the Internet of Things, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and new energy vehicles has promoted the upgrading of the product structure of PCB.In the future,5G construction will further expand server demand and encourage product server upgrades. As a result, the server PCB market is expected to grow.In addition,5G will also become a new growth point for smartphones.It is estimated that the shipment of 5G mobile phones will reach 725 million units in 2023. We can pay attention to the demand for high-end PCB manufacturing such as SLP and high-end HDI PCB.

Best China pcb manufacturer

iPCB is a PCB manufacturer with leading technology as its core competition. As the speed of digital circuits continues to increase, transient changes in voltage and current produce a large number of high-frequency components. When the bandwidth reaches more than 5Gbps, line width, copper foil roughness, outer surface treatment, copper thickness, and other factors will significantly affect the conductor loss, placing higher requirements on the PCB manufacturer's processing technology. Due to the vast amount of information processing in high-speed circuits, the number of high-speed module PCB boards can reach 40 layers, which is the field where the demand for multilayer boards is the most. ipcb company has mature high-frequency/high-speed board processing technology, ipcb company samples up to 100 layers. Since 2014, ipcb company's high-speed board and special board purchases have accounted for more than 50% of the purchase of copper-clad laminates.

Therefore, PCB buyers will choose PCB manufacturers with solid production and service capabilities to reduce the overall PCB procurement risk. However, it is not easy for PCB buyers to find a suitable PCB manufacturer, so how to choose a PCB manufacturer?

Let us understand how to choose the best China PCB manufacturer.

A: As a PCB manufacturer for hobbyists, PCB manufacturers near me is an important consideration

For example, PCB manufacturing USA, PCB manufacturing UK and PCB manufacturing Australia. China has a chip PCB manufacturer. It is also a good idea to choose a China PCB manufacturer.

B: Pay attention to the range of process capability

PCB manufacturing process is complex and tedious; when choosing a PCB manufacturer, try to choose a PCB manufacturer with a wide range of functions and rich process capabilities so as not to delay the process involved beyond the ability of the PCB manufacturer, which will affect the PCB delivery time, so first when choosing a PCB manufacturer There must be a detailed reference to the PCB process requirements to prevent electrical functions from being affected due to the lack of PCB manufacturer's process.

C: Pay attention to whether the PCB manufacturer's production equipment can meet the requirements. Due to the different types of PCBs, the PCB production requirements are pretty additional, and the equipment levels used by PCB manufacturers are also different. Therefore, PCB manufacturers must make sample comparisons before considering batch cooperation.

D: Pay attention to whether there is a pegging fork clause. Due to the particularity of PCB custom processing, all PCBs that need to be assembled and shipped have a single probability of being scrapped. Generally, the customer accepts the pegging fork clause by default. If you do not buy it, you need to contact the PCB. The manufacturer communicates, that usually, the PCB manufacturer will charge a certain fee, and you need to choose whether to accept the flat cross according to your situation.

E: Pay attention to whether the PCB manufacturer's quality assurance products. Regarding quality assurance, when choosing the best china pcb manufacturer, you must first judge the quality of the PCB manufacturer, such as whether the PCB has tested the PCB circuit board before shipment to avoid the impact of quality problems. The later use of PCB prevents subsequent safety issues.
