The PCB industry is booming, with AI computing power driving a surge in demand for rigid boards


The global printed circuit board (PCB) industry is expected to remain robust in 2026.

The global printed circuit board (PCB) industry is expected to remain robust in 2026. Industry analysts predict that the global PCB industry’s annual output value will exceed $105 billion, maintaining double-digit growth. Rapid expansion in sectors such as AI servers, new energy vehicles, industrial control, and LED lighting is driving sustained growth in demand for conventional PCBs and high-precision multilayer rigid boards. With capacity shortages for high-end, high-layer-count PCBs and HDI (High-Density Interconnect) boards, ongoing upgrades in upstream materials and manufacturing processes are driving domestic manufacturers to accelerate the expansion of high-end production capacity, facilitating a transition from basic rigid board manufacturing to high-value-added precision circuit boards. As supply chain localization accelerates, domestic PCB companies are continuously expanding their advantages in cost, delivery, and customized services, steadily enhancing their position within the global industrial chain.
