Future PCB industry Internet + development trend

The PCB industry has been developing for many years, but the subsequent growth in recent years is weak and not optimistic. According to news reports, more than 10% of PCB companies in China disappear every year. This situation is closely related to the changes in the industrial structure brought about by the development of the times. Only with change, the PCB industry can survive in the fiercely competitive reality.

As we all know, PCB is a high-pollution, high-energy, high-investment, labor-intensive industry. In the transition period, enterprises face many problems. In terms of environmental protection, due to the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements in the country in recent years, the policies formulated have become more and more stringent, which has made the environmental protection pressure of enterprises increasingly increasing. In terms of cost, not only must the international raw material prices continue to rise in the face of high inflation, but also Faced with the significant increase in the wages of workers brought about by the implementation of the new labor law; coupled with the appreciation of the renminbi, the rise of low-cost manufacturing in Southeast Asia, and many other external factors, many low-end manufacturers in the PCB industry have even reached the end of life and death.

The various cost control methods adopted by many companies are nothing more than lowering wages and saving raw materials, but the cost and cost of these savings are very limited and cannot solve the problem fundamentally. Some enterprises may also suffer from unbalanced development and loss of core competitiveness due to lack of investment in research and development and marketing. Although some companies have begun to shift to the Midwest to reduce labor costs, they have increased the cost of other design, R&D, and logistics. In the long run, it is not cost-effective.

The popularity of information technology and software applications has driven the development of various industries. The emergence of "Internet +" thinking has subverted the industrial structure of certain industries and expanded people's horizons. This thinking was first introduced into the service industry and then extended to the industrial production field. Of course, this thinking has also brought a spring breeze to the PCB industry.

Although there are still many PCB companies who choose to believe in traditional PCB design, production, sales, operation, and management modes, there are still many doubts about the Internet, so they are in a wait-and-see state, but some companies have already tested the water first. In combination with the Internet, we will open up an innovative PCB cloud platform in product design; in the engineering operation, realize the whole process of automation of Internet management; in terms of sales and management, we will take Internet thinking as the leading factor. Of course, some of these companies have also gained their sweetness and achieved great results.
