Computer and related products, communications products and consumer electronics, such as 3 Class C products are the main applications of the PCB. According to data published by the Consumer Electronics Association of America (CEA), Global consumer electronics sales will reach $964 billion in 2011, up 10% from a year earlier. The 2011 figures were close to $1 Trillion.
The largest demand comes from smartphones and laptops, as well as products such as digital cameras, LCD TVs and other products that are highly visible, CEA said.
1. Smart phone
The global handset market is set to rise to $341.4 billion trillion in 2015, with smartphone sales reaching $258.9 billion, accounting for 76% of total revenue from the mobile phone market, and Apple will lead by 26% of the market, according to the latest market research report released by the markets and marketing.
Global Mobile phone Market. The IPhone 4 PCB uses any layer HDI board, high-density connection plate of any Layers.
IPhone 4 in order to fit all the wafers in the area of a very small PCB, the use of any layer HDI board can avoid the wasted space caused by the machine-ring drilling, and the purpose of any layer can be Conductive.
2. Touch panel
With the IPhone and IPad swept around the world, red multi-touch applications, The prediction of touch will become the next wave of soft board growth drive ENGINE.
DisplaySearch expects the tablet to have a touch-screen shipment of up to 260 million tablets in 2016, up 333% per cent from 2011.
3. Computer
According to Gartner analysts, laptops have been an engine of growth for the PC market for the past five years, averaging nearly 40% per cent a year. Based on expectations of weaker laptop demand, Gartner predicts that global PC shipments will reach 387.8 million units in 2011, and will be 440.6 million units in 2012, up 13.6% from 2011.
In 2011, the sales of mobile computers, including tablets, would reach $220 billion, and desktop computers would have sales of $96 billion, bringing total PC sales to $316 billion, CEA said. The IPad 2 was officially released on March 3, 2011, and the 4-step any Layer HDI will be used in the PCB manufacturing process.
Any layer HDI from Apple's IPhone 4 and IPad 2 will spark an industry boom, and the future of any layer HDI is expected to be applied in more and more high-end handsets and tablets.
4. Ebook
According to DIGITIMES, global E-book shipments are expected to reach 28 million units in 2013, with a CAGR of 386% from 2008 to 2013. According to the analysis, the global E-book market will reach $3 billion by 2013.
E-book PCB Board Design trends: first, the need to increase the number of layers, the second is to require the use of blind buried hole technology, The third is the need for high-frequency signal PCB Substrate.
5. Digital Camera
The production of digital cameras will begin to stagnate in 2014 as markets become saturated, iSuppli SAID. Shipments are expected to drop by 0.6% to 135.4 million units in 2014, and low-end digital cameras will face strong competition from camera Phones. But some areas of the industry can still grow, such as high-end cameras such as hybrid high definition (hd) cameras, future 3D cameras and digital SLR (dslr). Other growth areas of digital cameras include features such as integrated GPS and wi-fi, which enhance their attractiveness and daily use Potential.
To promote the soft board market further, in fact, any thin and light electronic products on the soft board demand is very strong.
6. LCD TV
Display Search, a market research firm, expects global LCD TV shipments to reach 215 million units in 2011, up 13% from a year earlier. 2011, as the manufacturer gradually replaced the backlight of the LCD tv, LED backlight module will gradually become the mainstream, to the LED thermal substrate technology trends: a high heat dissipation, precision size of the thermal substrate; two stringent line alignment accuracy, high-quality metal line adhesion
Three uses the yellow light shadow to make the thin film ceramic heat dissipation substrate, enhances the LED high power.
7.LED Lighting
DIGITIMES the analyst pointed out that incandescent lamps in 2012 banned the ban on the ban, 2011 LED bulb shipments will be significantly growth, the output value is estimated to be up to about 8 billion U.S. dollars, coupled with North america, japan, South Korea and other countries for LED lighting and other green products to implement subsidy policy, and stores, Shops and workshops, such as a higher willingness to replace the LED lighting and other factors driven by the value of the global LED lighting market penetration rate has a great opportunity to break through 10%. LED lighting, which took off in 2011, will inevitably lead to a large demand for aluminum substrates.
