Current IssueVoices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.
It's Show Time!
In this month’s issue of PCB007 Magazine we reimagine the possibilities featuring stories all about IPC APEX EXPO 2025—covering what to look forward to, and what you don’t want to miss.

United States, European Printed Circuit Board Design Markets, 2022-2023 & 2035
June 9, 2023 | PRNewswireEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

The US and Europe printed circuit board (PCB) design market is likely to grow at a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period, i.e., 2023-2035. The market generated a revenue of around USD 2000 Million in the year 2022 and is likely to produce revenue worth of nearly USD 7000 Million by the end of 2035.
The market growth is primarily driven by an increase in the number of devices connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), and booming semiconductor production. IoT devices surpassed people in number by 2022, reaching a total of over 13 billion. Also, it is predicted that by 2025, North America will likely have close to 6 billion Internet of Things (IoT) connections.
Furthermore, the market is anticipated to rise as a result of increased sales of smart devices, an increase in the number of people using fitness bands and other wearables, and an increase in the need for automation in the industrial sector. Between 2022 and 2028, there should be a 7% growth in smartphone penetration in Europe. Moreover, penetration will reach a brand-new high of 90% in 2028.
A few factors that are projected to limit market growth include the widespread use of open-source PCB design tools, Increasing labor and raw material costs, severe semiconductor scarcity, and a broken semiconductor supply chain.
By 2035, the market for industrial automation & control segment is expected to have generated the second-highest revenue of around USD 1300 million by rising at a considerable CAGR of more than 11% over the forecast period. Additionally, the segment generated nearly USD 300 Million in revenue in 2022. There are a few aspects that are anticipated to fuel the segment's expansion, including the higher deployment of robots for automating the industry.
On the basis of region, the US and Europe printed circuit board (PCB) design market is analyzed by the markets of the United States, U.K., Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Russia, NORDIC, and the Rest of Europe. The market in United States collected the significant revenue in 2022.
By the end of 2035, it is estimated to garner a highest revenue, by growing at the CAGR of over 10% over the forecast period. The increase in the number of PCB designers and the greater number of robots deployed in various sectors to address the manpower shortage in the region are expected to drive this market expansion.
Our report has covered detailed company profiling comprising company overview, business strategies, key product offerings, financial performance, key performance indicators, risk analysis, recent developments, regional presence, and SWOT analysis among other notable indicators for competitive positioning.

RF PCB Design Tips and Tricks
05/08/2025 | Cherie Litson, EPTAC MIT CID/CID+There are many great books, videos, and information online about designing PCBs for RF circuits. A few of my favorite RF sources are Hans Rosenberg, Stephen Chavez, and Rick Hartley, but there are many more. These PCB design engineers have a very good perspective on what it takes to take an RF design from schematic concept to PCB layout.
The Right Blend: Mixed Wireless Technologies
05/08/2025 | Kirsten Zima, Siemens EDAA common trend recently is to employ as many radios as possible on a single PCB. With the increase of wireless standards and the downscaling of PCB size, it can be difficult to know what the most critical design parameters are to focus on. In this article, we’ll discuss the most important considerations to make when designing with mixed wireless technologies, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and Wi-Fi, on a single PCB. These considerations include antennas, frequencies, FCC compliance, shielding, and layout with and without transition vias.
