Beyond the Rulebook
What happens when the rule book is no longer useful, or worse, was never written in the first place? In today’s fast-moving electronics landscape, we’re increasingly asked to design and build what has no precedent, no proven path, and no tidy checklist to follow. This is where “Design for Invention” begins.
March Madness
From the growing role of AI in design tools to the challenge of managing cumulative tolerances, these articles in this issue examine the technical details, design choices, and manufacturing considerations that determine whether a board works as intended.

PCB Market to Grow by $19.05 Billion from 2022 to 2027
December 11, 2023 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
The printed circuit board (PCB) market is set to grow by USD 19.05 billion from 2022 to 2027. The market is estimated to be progressing at a CAGR of 5.05% during the forecast period. The report offers an up-to-date analysis regarding the current global market scenario, the latest trends and drivers, and the overall market environment.
The rising industry automation is an emerging trend shaping the market. There is increasing adoption of automation across industries as several desktops and machines are being set up for more effective and efficient control systems. As a result, several industries are forced to adapt to automation to sustain the competition in the market, as automation offers them optimum efficiency in productivity, operation costs, product quality, and safety.
But due to the increasing adoption, optimum power consumption can be a significant challenge. Hence, PCBs are increasingly adopted across industries to ensure efficient power consumption within the minimal size of the application. One of the main functionality of PCBs includes withstanding peak temperatures and voltages. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Here is an Exclusive report talking about Market scenarios with a historical period (2017-2021) and a forecast period (2023-2027).
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Market 2023-2027 - Market Dynamics
Market driver influencing the market growth
The market is driven by the rising adoption of smartphones. Factors such as the availability of low-cost smartphones and growing global Internet penetration are expected to fuel the adoption of smartphones globally. Furthermore, developing economies like India and China are becoming significant emerging markets for smartphones due to the rising disposable income of people and growing population. Additionally, there is an increasing advancement in smartphone technology from G LTE to 5G, with RF front-ends using up more space in 5G smartphones. Hence, such factors are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period.
Major challenges hindering the market growth
Environmental concerns regarding the disposal of PCBs can hinder market growth. The disposal of PCB can be hazardous to the environment as it contains components that are harmful to the environment. PCB wastes consist of metal, plastic, ceramic, and copper materials. Additionally, the presence of epoxy resins in PCBs contains chlorine that is harmful to the environment. Furthermore, the dismantling of PCBs before their disposal is also a major concern for industries. Hence, such factors are expected to hinder market growth during the forecast period.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Market 2023-2027: Market Segmentation
This report extensively covers market segmentation by end-user (communication network infrastructure, consumer electronics, automotive electronics, military and aerospace, and others), product (4-6 low, substrates, 1-2 sided, flexible, and others), and geography (APAC, North America, Europe, Middle East and Africa, and South America).
The market share growth by the communication network infrastructure segment is significant for market growth during the forecast period. The rapid transition from 4G to 5G in the US and other developed economies is fuelling the communication network infrastructure segment. As a result, it will propel the demand for PCBs as it is an essential component for communication network infrastructure equipment such as enterprise network equipment, wireline network equipment, subscriber equipment, and cable/multiservice operator equipment. Hence, such factors are expected to drive the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Is China Plus One Still Happening in the PCB Industry?
04/28/2026 | Manfred Huschka, Manfred Huschka Management Consulting (Shenzhen) Ltd.For much of the past five years, China Plus One has been shorthand for supply-chain diversification: reducing dependency on mainland China by adding manufacturing capacity elsewhere in Asia. In the PCB industry, however, in early 2026, it is more nuanced. It looks less like a clean geographic shift and more like a layered, capital-intensive rebalancing of global capacity, one that still leaves China deeply embedded at the center.
It's Only Common Sense: See Your Marketing as a Discipline, Not a Department
04/27/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhat does marketing mean to you? Is it a corner office with cool posters on the wall? Is it the person running your LinkedIn page or the trade show booth with the shiny graphics and the bowl of candy? Yes, marketing is those things, but it’s more than that. It’s a discipline, and if you treat it like a department, you’re already losing.
