Taiwan PCB Makers to See Significant Revenue Increases in 2H18
July 18, 2018 | DigitimesEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
Taiwan PCB makers are poised to embrace brisk orders expected in the second half of 2018—the traditional high season for consumer devices—and most of them have readied sufficient materials and adjusted capacity allocations seeking to score better revenue increases than a year earlier, according to Digitimes.
Sources said that some PCB makers already advanced small-volume shipments set for the third quarter to June, making their June revenues not lower than May despite fewer work days. Digitimes reports that Apple is expected to release three new iPhone models, and new MacBook and Apple Watch in the second half of 2018, prompting such Taiwan PCB makers as Zhen Ding Tech, Flexium Interconnect, Unitech and Career Technology—all Apple’s supply chain partners—to ready full capacities to meet explosive demand for flexible PCBs.
