Taiwan Printed Circuit Association (TPCA) and ITRI Sankei Center (IEKofITRI) jointly survey, released Taiwan strait PCB industry output in the second quarter, thanks to the downstream brand manufacturers to increase the upper reaches of the summer holidays and PCB Distribution product strength up the goods, in the second quarter output growth of 4.8%, the output value increased to NT $ 121.1 billion yuan, the third quarter outlook, into the traditional peak season for the Christmas holidays and year-end spending spree, plus more downstream end product manufacturers Large orders, estimates Taiwan strait PCB production value will grow another 9%, the output value rose to NT $ 132 billion yuan.IEK senior analyst Dong Zhong Ming PCB industry for the current general situation in China Analysis: China has become a global PCB production center, in 2012 the output value of 59.79 billion U.S. dollars worldwide, mainland China accounted for 42.7 percent of output value, still plywood for the product bulk, single double panel subordination; PCB MEGATONE mostly small and medium scale, only one vendor to enter the world's top 20, 23 a hundred large global manufacturers. In addition, he has demonstrated that the Chinese mainland three key trends in PCB, PCB MEGATONE first carrier board products have surfaced, the global market, although the carrier board by the Taiwan, Japan and Korea manufacturers dominated, but mainland China has been able to provide CSP, PBGA, SiP ... and other packages required for carrier board, and the actual shipping international packaging manufacturers. Key Trends: towering respective manufacturers everywhere, subject to environmental emissions, production scale, market and other factors, the new plant is set become the case everywhere, environmental control each production area may be less than the allowable amount of 6,000,000 sq ft, can accommodate three home the following manufacturers, resulting in difficulty in the upstream raw materials plant layout, the formation of customer service challenges. Three key trends: cheap and Chinese brands fermentation, low-priced electronics products from China spread to other emerging market countries, even developed country markets, high-priced single-model strategy has become past tense, ZTE, Huawei, Lenovo, Cool four Large Chinese mobile phone brand, supported by the Chinese market, the global smart phone market share is gradually expanding, especially in China Lenovo markets outside yet to show strength, future growth can not be underestimated. This year end electronic products, PC will show a declining trend year, smart phones and tablet computers to the low price, amassing all affect the performance of the upstream PCB industry sales by the first half of Taiwan strait situation PCB industry revenues compared to last year Poor first half year (YoY = -5.92%), and the second half of the revenue performance not much better than the same period last year, making this year's annual output value from the May forecast growth of 0.99% was revised down to "decline" 3.06%, annual output fell to NT $ 499.6 billion yuan, although this year's growth performance is not as expected, but for Taiwan's PCB manufacturers, ought to make efforts to expand the sources of more orders, adding more product applications, to mitigate existing orders decline in revenues caused by the impact of the shortage.
