PCB Competition Pattern and Market Share Analysis

The printed circuit board (PCB) is the key electronic interconnection of electronic products and is known as the “mother of electronic products”. The downstream of printed circuit boards is widely distributed, covering communication equipment, computers and their peripherals, consumer electronics, industrial control, medical, automotive electronics, military, aerospace technology and other fields. The irreplaceability is that the printed circuit board manufacturing industry can always develop steadily One of the elements.

High-end PCB companies are dominated by foreign and Chinese leaders

Our country is now the world’s first production base and market for printed circuit boards, with numerous companies. In my country’s printed circuit board industry, companies are divided into three levels: high, medium and low. The medium and high-end are dominated by foreign capital, Hong Kong capital, Taiwanese capital, and a few state-owned enterprises. Domestic companies are at a disadvantage in terms of capital and technology.

The low-end refers to small factories with irregular operations. Due to the low investment in equipment and environmental protection, they have formed a cost advantage. At the mid-end level, a intensive situation of manufacturers is formed, and the competition is more intense.

The overall scale of printed circuit board enterprises is dominated by foreign-funded enterprises. Whether it is investment scale, production technology, and output value, foreign-funded enterprises are stronger than general state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises.

Chinese printed circuit board companies are concentrated in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and other regions

China’s printed circuit board manufacturing industry is a highly competitive industry. After the rapid development stage and fierce market competition tempered, the basic pattern of the PCB industry has gradually formed. As of 2020, the number of PCB companies in mainland China will reach more than 2,000.

From the perspective of regional distribution, China’s PCB industry has basically formed a stable industrial cluster. Domestic PCB companies are mainly distributed in the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta, and Bohai Rim. The electronics industry has high concentration, large demand for basic components, and good facilities. Areas with transportation conditions, and water and electricity conditions.
