PCB Manufacturing Industry features introduction

With the continuous development of PCB terminal requirements, PCB manufacturing have also evolved from single / double panels to multi-layer boards and HDI boards, especially since the 21st century, 3G / 4G communications, smartphones, tablets, wearable electronics and other electronic information products occupy the market quickly, and constantly promote the development of PCBs to the direction of thin, short, high density, and high precision. The share of high-tech flexible boards and IC substrates continues to expand. The industry has grown in tandem with the PCB industry. In the 30 years of reform and opening up, it has experienced important stages such as introduction, imitation, performance improvement, overall improvement, and innovation. It is now in a new period of rapid development. Compared with the world-class technology level, although China's PCB processing and testing equipment and auxiliary materials have made great progress, some products have reached or approached the international advanced level, but in some aspects such as all-printed electronic technology, x-ray machine vision technology, etc. There is still a certain gap with the international advanced level. As terminal demand promotes the continuous advancement of PCB manufacturing technology, the accuracy, reliability, convenience, ease of operation, and functional integration of PCB equipment will continue to increase in the future, and the application field will continue to expand. Precision processing auxiliary materials will be further improved in terms of applicability, reliability, service life, etc., and will use a large number of polymer composite, nano, and environmentally friendly degradable materials using all-printed electronic technology

The unique business model of the PCB manufacturing industry

1. Technical innovation capability is the core of business operation. Because downstream customers in this industry generally adopt a qualified supplier certification system, and the current PCB industry technology competition is becoming increasingly fierce, the main criteria for PCB manufacturers to choose suppliers is their technical level. Therefore, unlike other industries, the core of the operation of enterprises in this industry is technological innovation capabilities. Only companies with rich technology research and development achievements and related technology reserves can continue to obtain recognition from downstream PCB manufacturing companies and be in an advantageous position in market competition.

2.The technical content of core products and services is the key to obtaining supplier certification. Due to the characteristics of multiple varieties, multiple batches, and small batches of downstream customer needs, if the manufacturing method of producing all products is used, it will often result in decentralized investment in research and development production and difficult to consolidate core competitiveness. The more successful companies in this industry generally take the prominent product technology level, gradually form one or several core products, and gain a broader market reputation to form core competitiveness. In addition, some enterprises have also developed the ability to personalize technical matching with different technical needs and index requirements to provide personal services for downstream enterprises.

3. Relying on continuous supplier certification to achieve rapid development. There are many large and medium-sized enterprises in the PCB manufacturing enterprises downstream in this industry. Generally, a more stringent supplier certification system is used. Supply capacity and product quality have successfully obtained supplier certification from PCB manufacturing companies. Affected by factors such as the purchasing habits of PCB manufacturing companies, once the companies in this industry enter their supplier list, they are generally relatively stable. Shares will increase rapidly
