Flexible Printed Circuit Boards Market Overview
Flexible printed circuit boards are also known as flexible printed circuits. Consist of a metallic layer of traces, usually copper, bonded to a dielectric layer, usually polyimide thickness of the metal layer can be very thin to very thick, and dielectric thickness can vary from flexible printed circuits that were originally designed as a replacement for traditional wire harnesses. A flexible circuit in its purest form is a vast array of conductors sandwiched between very thin dielectric film layers. The flexible printed circuit boards reduce wiring errors and remove mechanical connectors. These are popular due to their cheaper assembly time and costs, airflow, and system reliability.
The increasing demand for flexible electronics is expected to grow during the forecast period
The increasing demand for flexible electronics, the miniaturization of electronic devices, and growing trends towards Internet of Things (IoT) devices are expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. The growing demand for smartphones, tablets, and wearable gadgets is also fueling the growth of the Flexible Printed Circuit Board Market. Furthermore, the market is being driven by developments in manufacturing methods like roll-to-roll processing, which enables the production of FPCBs at lower costs and bigger volumes. One of the most important major trends in the Flexible Printed Circuit Board Market is the increasing use of FPCBs in automotive applications.
Asia-Pacific is expected to hold a Significant Share of the Flexible Printed Circuit Boards Market over the Forecast Period
The Asia-pacific region dominates the flexible printed circuit board market and held the largest revenue share 70% during the forecast period. Countries such as China, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea are semiconductors and produce almost 80% of PCB production worldwide. The growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for consumer electronics and the growing adoption of FPCBs in the automation industry.

UHDI Fundamentals: A Primer on UHDI
09/28/2023 | Anaya Vardya, American Standard CircuitsThere has always been pressure to reduce line and space as we have seen the bleeding edge technology go from 8 mils to 5 mils and then to 3 mils. The difference between “then” and “now” is that the prior advancements, for the most part, used the same processes, chemistry and equipment going from 8 mils to 3 mils. But going from 3 mil to sub 1 mil trace and space is a quantum leap in printed circuit board (PCB) technology that requires a whole new set of processes and materials.

Now, my discussion will focus on obtaining a void-free and tightly adherent copper plating deposit on these surfaces. After the desmear process, the task is to insure a continuous, conductive, and void-free deposit on the via walls and capture pad. Today, there are several processes that can be utilized to render vias conductive.
