Multilayer PCB Market to Reach $116.1B by 2032 at 5.5% CAGR: Allied Market Research
February 12, 2025 | Globe NewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes
According to the report, the "multilayer printed circuit board market" was valued at $71 billion in 2023, and is estimated to reach $116.1 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% from 2024 to 2032.
Prime Determinants of Growth
The multilayer printed circuit board market is expected to witness notable growth owing to increase in demand for electronic devices, surge in industrial automation, and rise in demand for high-speed data transmission. Moreover, increase in investment in healthcare technologies is expected to provide lucrative opportunity for the growth of the market during the forecast period. On the contrary, high initial investment limits the growth of the multilayer printed circuit board market.
The Layer 4 to 6 segment held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2023.
On the basis of layer, the Layer 4 to 6 segment held the highest market share in 2023, accounting for more than three-fifths of the global multilayer printed circuit board market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period, owing its widespread adoption in consumer electronics, including smartphones, tablets, and wearables, due to its optimal balance between performance, cost-effectiveness, and complexity. In addition, its extensive use in automotive systems, industrial equipment, and telecommunication devices further drives demand. However, the Layer 6 and Above segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.29 % from 2024 to 2032.
The rigid segment held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2023.
On the basis of substrate, the rigid segment held the highest market share in 2023, accounting for more than half of the global multilayer printed circuit board market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period. However, the Flexible segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 7.05% from 2024 to 2032, owing to the growing demand for lightweight, bendable, and compact electronic devices. This growth is driven by its increasing adoption in wearable electronics, medical devices, and aerospace applications, where flexibility and space-saving designs are critical.
The consumer electronics segment held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2023.
On the basis of end use industry, the consumer electronics segment held the highest market share in 2023, accounting for more than one-fourth of the global multilayer printed circuit board market revenue and is estimated to maintain its leadership status throughout the forecast period owing to the increasing demand for smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other personal electronic devices, along with advancements in miniaturization and functionality of consumer electronics. However, the healthcare segment is projected to manifest the highest CAGR of 9.31% from 2024 to 2032, owing to the growing integration of advanced electronic components in medical devices such as diagnostic equipment, wearable health monitors, and surgical instruments. The increasing focus on telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and the adoption of IoT-enabled healthcare solutions further drive the demand for multilayer PCBs in the healthcare sector.
Asia-Pacific held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2023.
On the basis of the region, Asia-Pacific held the highest market share in terms of revenue in 2023, accounting for more than two-third of the multilayer printed circuit board market revenue owing to the region's strong presence of leading electronic manufacturers, abundant availability of raw materials, and low manufacturing costs. In addition, the rapid growth of industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, and telecommunications in countries like China, Japan, South Korea, and India, coupled with increasing investments in 5G infrastructure and industrial automation, further drives the market growth in this region.

No surprise, AI plays a remarkably large role in all the current trends.
The Marketing Minute: Blink and You'll Miss It … and Other Problems With One-shot Marketing
02/11/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteOne ad. One social post. One podcast episode. One interview. For some companies, marketing means picking one of these, doing it once, and calling it done. The problem is that this approach no longer reflects how audiences actually consume information, especially in technical industries. Attention spans are short, feeds move fast, and newsletters stack up. It’s a universal truth in advertising and marketing that seeing something once is rarely enough to register, let alone remember. Yet marketing efforts are still often treated as if one appearance should do the job.
It’s Only Common Sense: Control Your Market With Your Actions
02/09/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseMost companies don’t want to admit that their low sales mean their stories got stale. They’ll blame the economy, their competitors, the election cycle, or “industry headwinds,” when what really happened is much simpler: They stopped saying anything worth hearing. Customers stopped noticing because most companies sound exactly the same. You could have the most advanced product in your category, but if you describe it like everyone else, you’ve already lost. Nobody buys “high quality,” “fast turnaround,” or “excellent service” anymore. Those slogans are expected table stakes, not selling points.
