Thailand Electronics Circuit Asia (THECA) 2025 has officially announced its event partnership with Market-Comms Co., Ltd. (MCOMMS), No.1 local public relations firm, and VNU Asia Pacific, the designated show manager for the event. The first preparation meeting was held on December 20, 2024, where the strategic framework was set to establish THECA 2025 as a premier platform for the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) industry in Asia.
This collaboration underscores the shared dedication of Market-Comms and VNU Asia Pacific to fostering innovation, facilitating knowledge exchange, and advancing growth within the PCB and Electronics industry in Thailand and across the region. THECA 2025 is scheduled to take place in August 20-22, 2025 at the Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC), Thailand and hosted by the Thailand Board of Investment (BOI) and organized by the Thailand Printed Circuit Association (THPCA) and the Hong Kong Printed Circuit Association (HKPCA).
The Thailand Electronics Circuit Asia 2025 (THECA 2025) endeavors to establish Thailand as a global center for Printed Circuit Board (PCB), Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA), and Electronic Manufacturing Service (EMS) production. Under the theme "How to Effectively Build a Future Electronics Ecosystem," the event underscores the critical importance of strengthening local supply chains, fostering investment opportunities, and facilitating technology exchange. Moreover, THECA 2025 prioritizes sustainable development through strategic collaboration among government entities, private sector stakeholders, and industry manufacturers, while advancing net-zero carbon initiatives and enhancing workforce competencies to meet the demands of future markets.
“We are proud to partner with VNU Asia Pacific in managing THECA 2025. This collaboration will create a vital platform to drive the PCB industry forward, addressing the growing global market, which is projected to rise from USD 80.33 billion in 2024 to USD 96.57 billion by 2029, at a CAGR of 4.87% (PCB Market Size & Share Analysis - Growth Trends & Forecasts (2024 - 2029) by Mordor Intelligence, a market intelligence firm). With increasing demand for miniaturized electronic devices and technological advancements, THECA 2025 will foster innovation, strengthen supply chain connections, and provide industry professionals with the tools and knowledge to navigate this dynamic growth.” said Mr. Sarawut Burapapat, Strategic Advisor of Market-Comms.

First, is a roundtable discussion featuring three dynamic industry cybersecurity experts. Please watch this important discussion that affects us all. Following that, I spotlight the IPC-2581 Consortium, which explains why IPC-2581 is the standard to replace Gerber data for manufacturing. Next, I am including my interview with PCBAA and AAM, who collaborated to release a short documentary on U.S. PCB manufacturing.
A Necessary Shift From Gerber to IPC-2581
05/07/2026 | Tracy Riggan, Global Electronics AssociationIPC-2581 is an open, vendor-neutral data exchange standard developed by the Global Electronics Association to streamline the exchange of PCB design information across fabrication, assembly, and test. It replaces multiple legacy formats—including industry standards, Gerber, and ODB++—with a single, comprehensive, XML-based dataset that captures all manufacturing details.

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.
