The rising sales of electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to drive the growth of the printed circuit board (PCB) market during the forecast period. Electric vehicles are powered entirely or partially by electricity. PCBs are used to connect electrical components in EVs, including audio and display systems, and are also essential in the production of charging stations that enable EV users to recharge their vehicles. For example, in April 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based intergovernmental organization, reported that new electric car registrations in China reached 8.1 million in 2023, representing a 35% increase compared to 2022. Therefore, the growing adoption of electric vehicles is boosting demand for the printed circuit board market.

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 July 2023, Sunshine PCB GmbH, a Germany-based manufacturer of high-frequency and multilayer printed circuit boards, acquired Vision Industries Sdn. Bhd. (Malaysia) for an undisclosed amount. Through this acquisition, Sunshine aims to expand its manufacturing presence in Southeast Asia and enhance its microwave and high-frequency PCB product portfolio. Vision Industries Sdn. Bhd. is a Malaysia-based PCB manufacturer specializing in 2-12 layer multilayer PCBs with controlled impedance, mixed dielectrics, and high-frequency substrate materials.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on copper foil, laminate materials, and electronic components have driven up production costs for printed circuit boards, impacting manufacturers across Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America. These tariffs disrupt material availability, extend lead times, and reduce profit margins for PCB makers, especially those producing multi-layer and HDI boards. However, they also encourage local sourcing, stimulate capacity expansion in domestic PCB fabrication, and promote innovation in material efficiency and recycling, which can strengthen regional supply chains over time.

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.Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the printed circuit board market in 2025.
