The printed circuit board market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $86.5 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for eco-friendly PCB’s, increasing investments in 5G technology and telecom infrastructure, increasing growth in IoT devices and increasing digitalization. Major trends in the forecast period include developing board-in-board connectors for higher efficiency and better connectivity, adopting innovative software tools for printed circuit boards, leveraging artificial intelligence for improved product quality, focusing on 3D printing for compact designs and material optimization, focusing on the development of sustainable PCBs and focusing on partnerships and collaborations to expand product portfolio and geographic presence.

The anticipated growth of the printed circuit board (PCB) market is driven by the increasing sales of electric vehicles (EVs). Printed circuit boards play a crucial role in connecting electrical components within EVs, including audio and display systems. Moreover, PCBs are integral to the production of charging stations for electric vehicles. Bloomberg New Energy Finance predicts that EVs will constitute 10% of global passenger car sales by 2025, rising to 28% in 2030 and reaching 58% in 2040.

The increasing proliferation of IoT (Internet of Things) devices is anticipated to drive demand for the printed circuit board market throughout the forecast period. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are fundamental components in nearly every IoT product, and well-designed PCBs are essential for the success of IoT products. For example, in August 2022, a report from the Health Sector Cybersecurity Coordination Center (HC3), part of the US Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) Cybersecurity Program, indicated that approximately 7 billion devices were connected through the Internet of Things (IoT) in 2022. Projections suggest significant growth, with an estimated additional 20 billion devices expected to adopt this technology by 2025. Thus, the rising number of IoT devices is likely to bolster the growth of the printed circuit board market during the forecast period.

The printed circuit board market is witnessing a shift driven by the adoption of biodegradable materials in PCBs. Manufacturers are actively working to reduce electronic waste by replacing conventional substrates with environmentally friendly alternatives. In August 2022, the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory developed fully recyclable and biodegradable PCBs composed of biodegradable polyester binders, conductive fillers, and enzyme cocktails. This development aims to address environmental concerns associated with heavy metal waste from conventional PCBs.

Companies within the printed circuit board market are utilizing artificial intelligence in their manufacturing processes. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in PCB manufacturing helps manufacturers enhance product quality, optimize production workflows, and significantly lower manufacturing costs. For example, in October 2023, Terran Orbital, a US-based aerospace and defense firm, launched two advanced Printed Circuit Board Assembly (PCBA) lines in Irvine, California. This new facility improves Terran Orbital's capability to produce, inspect, and test PCBAs and is equipped with cutting-edge surface mount technology (SMT) lines along with advanced inspection technologies.

In November 2022., Firan Technology Group Corporation, a Canadian PCB manufacturer, acquired IMI Inc. This acquisition aims to expand Firan Technology Group's product offering in the RF circuit board segment. IMI Inc., based in the US, specializes in RF circuit boards for aerospace and defense applications.

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are electrical boards essential for wiring surface-mounted and socketed components contained within the mechanical structure of most electronic devices. Their primary role is to provide physical support and electrical attachment for electronic devices by printing conductive pathways, tracks, or signal traces on copper sheets affixed to a non-conductive substrate. These boards facilitate the connection of electronic and electrical components without the need for wires.

The primary types of printed circuit boards include single-sided, double-sided, multi-layered, high-density interconnect (HDI), and others. Single-sided PCBs consist of a single layer of base material where conductive copper and components are mounted on one side, with conductive wiring connected on the other side. Various substrates, such as rigid, flexible, and rigid-flex, are utilized, featuring different laminate types such as paper, FR-4, polyimide, among others. Printed circuit boards find application across diverse industries, including industrial electronics, healthcare, aerospace & defense, automotive, IT and telecom, consumer electronics, and more.
