In recent years, the global printed circuit board ( PCB ) market has maintained a stable growth, with the increasing demand for electronic consumer goods market, Asia has gradually become the main production base, China has become the world's largest PCB producer. From the point of view of product structure, multilayer board, automobile board still occupy the mainstream.

Experts said that compared to the technical level, the domestic manufacturers and overseas manufacturers have no special gap, the key to the future competition differentiation is the degree of production automation, ideal automatic production line can save about 50 % of the traditional enterprise labor costs, the yield can be increased to 98 %

Compared with the traditional PCB factory construction, the key to build a new factory of automatic production line is the training of automatic machine maintenance personnel. According to the domestic industry average standards, in order to achieve the new factory within one year to meet the full production requirements, the major local manufacturers have adopted a phased implementation plan, in strict accordance with the order from the station, process, tools to the factory gradually realized. Nearly 80 % of the standard equipment is directly purchased through market competition, and 20 % of the non-standard equipment is jointly developed by the supplier. Domestic production equipment from procurement to production cycle of 40 days, the import of equipment and debugging period is generally not more than 2 months.

With the increasing domestic demand in China's smartphone industry, flexible board ( FPC ) in line with its product design and processing technology has become the trend of PCB development. At present, the main application fields of FPC board in China are mobile phones, led lamps and vehicle-mounted connectors. compared with overseas high-end applications, there are still some gaps in material r & d, engineering settings and process applications.

Domestic FPC manufacturers continue to increase r & d investment and expand production capacity, but also seek to acquire and acquire overseas enterprises with technical advantages, and constantly integrate the industrial chain, and gradually eliminate low value-added products. According to experts cited, on the premise of maintaining the existing research and development investment, it is expected that the next three to five years domestic FPC manufacturers will achieve a larger technological breakthrough, multilayer board, wireless charging, fingerprint identification, dual camera module and vehicle-mounted will be the focus of the future domestic circuit board manufacturers technological breakthrough and development.

Risk warning: the technical barriers of the industry are high, the production investment is large, and the national environmental protection supervision is strict.
