A basic component of the electronic information industry chain, PCB is “the mother” of electronics products. The Shenzhen International Circuit Sourcing Show 2015 (CS Show) will be held in Hall 6 of Shenzhen Convention & Exhibition Center from August 25 to August 27. It is China’s only trade show with PCB/FPC sourcing as its theme. For manufacturers and high-quality visitors who follow the development of the PCB industry, CS Show 2015 is the optimal platform to annually assess PCB products, talents, technologies and market communications. It is also ideal for finding business opportunities. The display of new products and technologies dominates the exhibition; while the attendance of numerous high profile industry leader adds color to the event.
Following Policy Development Trends and Driving PCB Industry Growth
As the electronics industry has deepened its development in Mainland China, so, too, has the PCB industry. This has been evident across the Pearl River Delta Development Zone since 1994; across the Yangtze River Delta Development Zone since 2000; across the Bohai Rim Development Zone since 2005 and across the Western Delta Development Zone created by the Central Government to promote the development of Western China since 2010.
PCB is manufactured across Mainland China and the country remains the largest PCB manufacturing site worldwide. In 2014, total global PCB output value rose to USD 57.4 billion, an increase of 2.3% year-on-year. China contributed USD 26.1 billion to that total, a year-on-year increase of 6%. This ranked the country first worldwide in terms of growth. Currently, the total value of local and foreign-funded PCB companies in China is 45.5% of the global value, i.e. almost half of the total worldwide – a clear demonstration of the obvious benefits. However, in the global PCB industry structure, although the “Made-in-China" brand bears the hope of a nation, the brand suffers from poor perceptions globally, holding a low to middle position that means the country struggles to shake the tag of merely being where “big commissions are processed”.
As the global economy slowly recovers, emerging markets like India, the Philippines, Indonesia and Thailand are progressing. In China prices of PCB raw materials continue to rise, as is the capacity for better environment protection and energy saving. “Made in China” has lost its low-cost advantage, resulting in slower development speed and inferior quality.
Another factor is that China's PCB industry mainly covers the low to middle range (dominated by double-sided and multi-layer boards), with few types of products, lack of innovation drive and a growing gap between developed and developing countries. On the basis of 2013, the output value of domestic multi-layer boards in 2014 rose 3.9%, and that of single-/double-sided boards rose 2.1%. These are mainly applied in the fields of PC, NB, communication and consumer electronics. The output value of HDI board, mainly applied in cellphones and other mobile terminal products, rose 2.1%. Despite of a rise in demand for various PCBs, the growth of flexible circuit boards and IC substrates is sluggish, still lagging behind that of Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and other countries / regions.
Due to the entry of a number of Mainland China manufacturers into the industry, competition on price has intensified, making the receipt of orders a frequent problem for PCB factories. In an ever-changing market, sellers are required to collaborate to explore new competitive advantages and link these to buyer demand. CS Show 2015 will cater to the trend of deepening national reform by reflecting the drive to build Shenzhen into a global PCB sourcing center, and by promoting the upgrade of the PCB industry from manufacturing to services. A reliable PCB sourcing information channel & platform, which attracts a comprehensive array of suppliers and high-quality buyers, will finally realize long-term development industry wide.
Strong Line-up of Exhibitors: Leading PCB Companies to Attend CS Show
As the only PCB industry platform integrating display, communication and trade, CS Show 2015 is committed to creating the most valuable cooperation platform for PCB and electronics manufacturers, to ensure a perfect presentation of diverse, innovative, environment-sensitive and intelligent PCB equipment and raw materials.
A number of industries that reflect future development trends, like consumer electronics, automobile electronics, industrial electronics, military & aerospace electronics, intelligent communication and other fields, are demanding more multi-layer, flexible, flexible-rigid hybrid, environment-friendly, low-productivity and highly customized PCB/FPC/HDI board technologies. So far, CS Show 2015 has reached agreements with multiple high-profile PCB manufacturers and already confirmed over 100 renowned PCB suppliers will take part. That figure continues to rise. The PCB manufacturers / suppliers will show off their talents and advantages during the exhibition, to present a comprehensive mix of products that will spur development in the PCB industry.
As the Taiwan-backed PCB industry has always been the cornerstone of Mainland China's electronics manufacturing, at CS Show 2015, the Taiwan-funded companies BrainPower and Zhanhua Electronic will attract widespread attention. BrainPower set up a PCB factory in Mainland China in 1996. Today, it specializes in making memory chips and OEM PCBs. Its Qingyuan factory is the world’s largest production site of memory chips and PCBs, serving nearly 60% of the global market.
