The characteristics of PCB industry

①Periodic characteristics

The PCB industry has been greatly affected by the demand for computers and consumer electronics in the past, but as the downstream distribution becomes more and more extensive, the product coverage becomes wider, the impact of a single industry on printed circuit boards becomes smaller, and the risk of industry fluctuations is reduced. The printed circuit board industry is mainly affected by macroeconomic cycle fluctuations.

②Seasonal characteristics

The production and sales of printed circuit boards are less affected by seasons, and the seasonal characteristics of the industry are not obvious. However, due to the influence of the holiday consumption of downstream electronic terminal products and the early stocking of downstream customers in response to the peak consumption season, the production and sales scale of PCB manufacturers in the second half of the year is generally higher than that in the first half of the year.

③Regional characteristics

The PCB industry as a whole presents certain regional characteristics. Globally, emerging markets represented by China have strong demand for various types of printed circuit board products. The output value of the PCB industry is mainly distributed in mainland China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea and other countries or regions.

As for China itself, due to the relatively high level of economic development in the coastal areas of East and South China, and the relatively developed electronic information products, the above two regions are the areas where the high-end products and high-value-added products of the printed circuit board manufacturing industry are relatively concentrated.
