Key Growth Drivers
- Nowadays, consumers seek out additional conveniences brought about by home automation products or devices and ambient computing through smart home devices. For an efficient and lighter smart home device, a multilayer printed circuit board is used in its wiring area. Thus, the increasing adoption of smart home devices is expected to push the market growth of multilayer printed circuit boards.
- According to the Home Improvement Research Institute (HIRI), approximately 456 million smart-home devices were shipped globally in 2020, which is further expected to cross approximately 1.2 billion by 2025.
- The multilayer printed circuit board market faces several restraints such as the availability of cheaper alternatives in the market. Also, the requirement of higher cost and time for manufacturing a multilayer printed circuit board is expected to hinder market growth.
- The cost of manufacturing, designing, and de-paneling a multilayer printed circuit board goes on the higher side as compared to the other alternatives in the market which could be used unless there is a requirement for the small size factor. Also, multilayer PCBs are the result of new technology, so the equipment required to produce them is still relatively expensive.
- According to Valley Services Electronics (VSE), a leading PCB manufacturer and assembler, a single-layer printed circuit board requires no additional cost whereas a multilayer printed circuit board requires an additional US$25 to US$50 per layer pair on a typical-sized board.
The outburst of COVID-19 had a mixed impact on the Multilayer Printed Circuits Market. Supply chain disruption is one of the significant concerns which led to reduced component manufacturing, component shortages, shipping delays, and restrictions. This increased the demand for Multilayer Printed Circuits in various end-user applications across the globe. Secondly, in areas with high infection rates, operations shut down entirely unless the manufacturer is a regular producer of essential electronics products, such as those for critical industries like healthcare devices, aerospace, and automotive systems. However, the requirement for advanced Healthcare devices increased worldwide which boosts the demand for multilayer printed circuits.
- According to the economic report (USA and EU Outlook) published by the Institute for Printed Circuits (IPC) in November 2020, the overall decline in manufacturing of printed circuits by 3.6% from the previous year because of less industrial production during the COVID-19 pandemic.
