The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased electronic content in vehicles, autonomous and semi-autonomous driving, efficiency and weight reduction, demand for advanced infotainment, globalization of automotive supply chains, R&D and innovation.

The automotive PCB market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.88 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing complexity of ads, digital cockpit evolution, v2x communication, increasing demand for compact electronics, shift to advanced materials, supply chain resilience and localization. Major trends in the forecast period include autonomous driving technologies, smart manufacturing and industry 4.0, miniaturization and integration, flexible and rigid-flex PCBs, AI and machine learning integration.

The automotive PCB market is expected to experience significant growth due to the increasing demand for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and battery-operated electric vehicles (EVs). Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) play a crucial role in the automotive industry, facilitating the functionality of sensors and other components in vehicles. The surge in sales of electric vehicles and battery-operated electric vehicles is a key driver for the growing demand for automotive PCBs. According to a study by JP Morgan, it is anticipated that by 2025, electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) will contribute to approximately 30% of all vehicle sales. Consequently, the heightened demand for hybrid and battery-operated electric vehicles is a major factor propelling the expansion of the automotive PCB market.

The growth of the automotive PCB market is anticipated to be propelled by the increasing demand for autonomous driving. Autonomous driving refers to vehicles capable of operating without human intervention, and it relies on various vehicle functions controlled and managed by automotive Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). These PCBs play a crucial role in overseeing functions such as sensors, processors, and communication systems, providing the required reliability and precision in electronic control for autonomous driving systems. A report from the UK's Department of Transport in August 2022 indicated that approximately 40% of newly purchased cars in the UK might incorporate self-driving capabilities. This projection suggests that the connected and automated vehicles (CAV) market could reach a value of $53.01 billion (£41.7 billion) by 2035. Consequently, the increasing demand for autonomous driving is a significant factor contributing to the growth of the automotive PCB market.

The increasing adoption of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) is a significant trend in the automotive PCB market. The utilization of PCBs in ADAS systems is anticipated to grow substantially in the future, prompting companies to expand their automotive PCB capacities to meet the rising demand for ADAS technologies. For example, in April 2023, Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a California-based company that offers a diverse range of products and solutions to transform design processes across various industries, launched Cadence Allegro X AI technology. Allegro X AI automates essential processes like placement and routing, drastically cutting the time needed for these tasks from days to just minutes. This innovation is especially advantageous for small to medium-sized designs, addressing the typical challenges related to physical layout and analysis. By leveraging cloud resources, Allegro X AI boosts productivity through scalable computing power, facilitating efficient design automation.

Major players in the automotive PCB market are prioritizing the development of advanced heterogeneous integrated solutions to address the growing demand for improved connectivity, performance, and reliability in vehicle electronics. These advanced solutions involve the integration of diverse technologies and components into a cohesive system, enhancing overall performance, connectivity, and reliability across different applications. An example of such innovation is evident in the launch of iNPACK by PCB Technologies Ltd., a US-based company specializing in printed circuits and assembled electronic devices. Introduced in June 2022, iNPACK represents an advanced form of heterogeneous integration that emphasizes cutting-edge technology to boost signal integrity and minimize undesired inductance impacts. By incorporating powerful components for expanded functionality and leveraging embedded coins for efficient heat dissipation, iNPACK offers a range of solutions, including System in Package (SiP), semiconductor packaging, organic substrates with 25-micron lines and spacing, as well as 3D, 2.5D, and 2D packaging solutions. Its applications extend across demanding sectors such as aerospace, defense, medical, consumer electronics, automotive, energy, and communications.
