PCB Market Trends

摘要

The North American printed circuit board (PCB) market is a diverse market. The accelerated growth of the electronics industry has increased the rate of technology change in this market. The drive for more powerful electronics has given rise to technologies such as multilayer PCBs and high-density interconnection (HDI) techniques. The overall electronics industry's push for small, portable products has led to the development of flexible and rigid-flex PCBs. North American manufacturers tend to be the technology leaders in the PCB industry. Most low-end PCBs are manufactured and purchased by low-cost regions, such as the Pacific Rim, and they are used in mass-produced devices, such as consumer electronic products.
