Taiwanese PCB Industry Witnessed Steady Growth of 9.6% in Q3 2024
December 12, 2024 | TPCAEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
The global output value of Taiwanese circuit board enterprises demonstrated steady growth in the third quarter of 2024, reaching NT$227.1 billion, a year-over-year increase of 9.6%. This growth was primarily driven by the peak season effect, the mild recovery of mainstream terminal products, and the increasing demand for high-performance circuit boards in AI infrastructure and low-orbit satellite applications.
While the fourth quarter may face challenges due to slower-than-expected smartphone sales and global economic uncertainties, the overall output value for 2024 is still projected to reach NT$808.3 billion, a 5% year-over-year increase. The rising demand for AI edge devices and the alleviation of inflationary pressures are expected to drive further growth in the PCB industry in 2025.
In terms of product segments, multilayer boards, flexible boards, HDI boards, and IC substrates continue to be key drivers. The demand for high-performance circuit boards, particularly for AI and 5G applications, is expected to remain strong.

EIPC Winter Conference 2026 Review: The Keynote Sessions
02/11/2026 | Pete Starkey, I-Connect007Aix-en-Provence (pronounced “ex-ahn-pro-vonse”), a historic city and commune in the south of France, about 20 miles north of Marseille, was the pleasant venue for EIPC’s Winter Conference in early February. Industry delegates from 11 European countries, as well as from the U.S. and China, gathered at the Renaissance Hotel for a two-day programme, “Driving the Future: Innovation, Energy, and Sustainability in PCB Technology.” An added attraction was a privileged visit to the ITER fusion power project at the Cadarache research and development centre.

I-Connect007 Editor’s Choice: Five Must-Reads for the Week
02/06/2026 | Nolan Johnson, I-Connect007Here’s the thing about time travel. You can’t just manipulate the time dimension; you have to move in three-dimensional space as well. That’s because Earth orbits a star, which orbits a galaxy, which is on its own path through three-dimensional space. Our planet follows a complex corkscrew-like path through the universe, covering great distances in just seconds. Build a time machine like HG Wells envisioned, and even a short jump in time means that Earth has moved, and you’re now floating in the void of space. Unsettling, to be sure.
