The Indian printed circuit board (PCB) market has witnessed significant growth in recent years, reaching a value of US$4.53 billion in 2023. As the electronics manufacturing sector in India continues to expand, the demand for PCBs is rising steadily. Printed circuit boards are the backbone of almost all electronic devices, making them an essential component in industries such as telecommunications, automotive, consumer electronics, and more. The market is expected to grow at an impressive compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.1% between 2024 and 2032, eventually reaching a projected value of nearly $20.17 billion by 2032.
India Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Market Size
As of 2023, the Indian PCB market reached a value of $4.53 billion, supported by the rising demand for electronic products across various industries. The country's electronics manufacturing sector has seen substantial growth, and PCBs are a vital part of this expansion. With the Indian government's push to promote local manufacturing and reduce import dependency, the demand for domestic PCB production is expected to rise further.
Looking ahead, the market is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 18.1% between 2024 and 2032. By 2032, the Indian PCB market is projected to reach nearly USD 20.17 billion, driven by the increasing adoption of advanced technologies and the need for more sophisticated electronic devices.
India Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Market Trends
Government Initiatives and Policy Support: Initiatives like "Make in India" and the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for the electronics sector are encouraging domestic manufacturing of PCBs. These programs provide incentives for companies to invest in local production, reducing reliance on imports.
Growth of the Automotive Electronics Market: With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and the increasing incorporation of electronic systems in automobiles, the demand for PCBs in the automotive sector is growing rapidly.
5G Rollout and Telecommunications Growth: The upcoming 5G technology rollout is expected to drive the demand for PCBs, as telecommunications infrastructure requires high-performance circuit boards.
Consumer Electronics Boom: With the rapid adoption of smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices, the demand for PCBs in the consumer electronics sector is soaring. This trend is expected to continue as India becomes one of the largest markets for consumer electronics.
Focus on Sustainability: As environmental concerns grow, there is a rising demand for eco-friendly and energy-efficient PCBs. Companies are focusing on developing PCBs with reduced environmental impact by utilizing sustainable materials and production processes.

From Backbone to Breakthroughs: I-Connect007 Wraps PCB Materials Series with Focus on Innovation
05/06/2026 | I-Connect007I-Connect007 wraps up its six-part podcast series, PCB Materials: The Backbone and Future of Electronics, with Episode 6 and a discussion focusing on innovation. In Episode 6, Marcy LaRont speaks with Isola CTO Kirk Thompson about a critical turning point for the PCB industry as innovation accelerates. As data rates climb and demands from AI infrastructure, power density, flexible electronics, photonics, and chiplet integration intensify, traditional material assumptions are no longer sufficient.
Vern Solberg: A Designer's Focus on High Density
04/30/2026 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007 MagazineVern Solberg is a distinguished member of the Global Electronics Association Raymond E. Pritchard Hall of Fame and has served as chair or vice chair of many committees, developing technical standards and implementation guidelines, including the IPC-7090 series, which focuses on design for manufacturing and reliability for electronic assemblies. He’s a long-time contributor to Design007 Magazine, and he conducted a half-day tutorial at APEX EXPO 2026, where he addressed 2D, 2.5D, and 3D packaging and ultra-high density hybrid bond interconnect. I caught up with Vern at the show and asked about his pivot from addressing more standard design challenges to his focus on high-density circuits.

04/29/2026 | BUSINESS WIREOKI Circuit Technology, the OKI Group’s printed circuit board (PCB) business company, has successfully developed design and production technologies for 180-layer, 15 mm-thick PCBs intended for use in wafer testing equipment for high bandwidth memory (HBM) mounted on AI semiconductors.
American Made Advocacy: Rebuilding America’s Military Stockpiles Begins With Microelectronics
04/28/2026 | Shane Whiteside -- Column: American Made AdvocacyCurrent world events demonstrate the fragility of long-distance supply chains transiting multiple zones of conflict. The U.S. military is currently drawing down supplies of key munitions and other electronic systems at unprecedented rates.1Every one of those systems is powered by printed circuit boards. The American PCB industry has kept pace with peacetime demand for the defense industry, but will now be called upon to increase production to a wartime footing at rates not seen in decades.
EDIP Opens the Door: EU Funding Now Available for Defence Electronics Including PCBs and Substrates
04/21/2026 | Alison James and Chris Mitchell, Global Electronics AssociationThe European Commission has published a call for proposals under the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP), and for European electronics manufacturers the message is clear: this is real money for real capacity, and PCBs and IC substrates are explicitly in scope. EDIP's Industrial Reinforcement Actions (IRA) dedicate €122.25 million to key electronic components, covering guidance electronics, propulsion electronics, RF and laser modules, multispectral cameras, avionics, PCBs and IC substrates, lithium-ion polymer batteries, power electronics, and critical semiconductor building blocks
