ABOUT THE WECC GLOBAL PCB STATISTICAL PROGRAM

Development Team The World Electronic Circuits Council (WECC) is a strategic partnership formed in 1998 by the major industry associations serving member companies in the global electronic circuits industry. Its purpose is to increase the global influence and effectiveness of its member organizations for the benefit and improvement of the industry. The member associations cooperate on standards, market research, marketing, resource development, environmental issues, world trade, and economic and political affairs. The member organizations of WECC formed a working group in 2005 to pool their statistical resources and produce a global statistical report on printed circuit board (PCB) production for the benefit of their members. This group became the WECC Statistics and Market Committee. The following associations and their representatives contributed to this report and are active members of the WECC Statistics and Market Committee:

CPCA – Kevin Yan, Vice President, China Printed Circuit Association, [email protected]

EIPC – Kirsten Smit-Westenberg, Executive Director, European Institute of Printed Circuits, [email protected]

ELCINA – Anil Kumar Muniswamy, Executive Committee, Electronic Industries Association of India, [email protected]

HKPCA – Manda Wong, Administration Officer, Hong Kong Printed Circuit Association, [email protected]

IPC – Sharon Starr, Director of Market Research, IPC, [email protected], (committee chair)

JPCA – Noriaki Wakakuri, Section Chief, Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association, [email protected]

JPCA – Nanako Okabe, Associate Leader, Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association, [email protected]

JPCA – Kunio Takahara, Deputy General Manager, Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association, [email protected]

KPCA – Minsu Lee, Deputy Secretary General, Korea Printed Circuit Association, [email protected]

TPCA – Michelle Hung, Deputy Secretary General, Taiwan Printed Circuit Association, [email protected]

Please contact a representative at your association with any questions about the report or suggestions for improving this program.

Availability The WECC Global PCB Production Reports are available only from these participating associations to their members. The reports are not available for sale.

Methodology The WECC Global PCB Production Report includes estimates of PCB production by country or region based on the data collected by the WECC organizations from their member PCB companies. The estimates in these reports may differ from estimates published by other organizations due to differences in methodology and sources. No source of data on worldwide PCB production can claim to be 100 percent accurate. There are only estimates based on data collected from representative samples of the companies in the industry. WECC has published its Global PCB Production Reports since 2005. The reports are published annually. The data are collected by the associations and reported here in local currencies so that real growth rates can be shown. For the sake of comparability, all of the estimates are also reported in U.S. dollars. These nominal values are not adjusted for inflation or for fluctuations in exchange rates. Real growth rates are used in most cases to factor out the effect of currency fluctuations. A table of average exchange rates for the period is included as an appendix to this report.

Confidentiality Policy It is the WECC organizations’ policy never to share any company-specific information with other associations (including the other WECC members) or with their member companies. Only aggregate data are shared for the compilation of this report. In this way, the WECC associations maintain complete confidentiality for all of their member companies.

Definitions PCB production attributed to a country or region reflects the value of the PCBs produced there, regardless of where the companies are headquartered, and should not be confused with the PCB market (i.e., where PCBs are sold). Many flexible circuit producers also offer assembly and other value-added services. Because these producers sell assembled or partially assembled boards, it can be difficult for them to separate the value of the bare circuits from total sales. Although the contributors to this report have endeavored to subtract estimated assembly and component value from their flexible circuit data, the flexible circuit production estimates in this report might include some assembly revenue.

2016 PCB PRODUCTION VALUE

The member associations collected production data from companies producing PCBs in their countries or regions. Every effort was made to eliminate duplication between the associations’ survey samples. The countries and regions included in this analysis produce virtually all of the world’s PCBs, based on value.

Estimates of 2016 PCB Production in the World’s Major PCB-Producing Areas

In millions of local currencies

In millions of U.S. dollars

Notes: 1. Flexible circuit and rigid flex estimates may include some assembly revenue. 2. The “Others” product category includes metal clad and LED boards in India, ceramic and metal core boards in Japan

and Other Asia, and high-performance boards in North America. 3. The revenue estimates in this report are nominal and have not been adjusted for inflation. 4. Other Asia includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Other Asia data were

provided by JPCA and were reported in Japanese yen. Japanese companies account for more than 70 percent of PCB production in Other Asia.

5. Central & South America data, provided by IPC, are reported in Brazilian real, as Brazil was the primary location of PCB production in this region.

6. Please see the appendix on exchange rates to determine the impact on amounts in specific currencies. 7. Totals may vary slightly from the sums of the numbers in the table due to rounding.

INDUSTRY GROWTH

Real Growth by Country/Region Based on a comparison of the 2015 and 2016 estimates from the WECC PCB production surveys in local currencies, worldwide PCB production increased 2.6 percent in 2016. The Middle East and Africa posted the highest growth in PCB production in real terms. It should be noted that the adoption of new sources or methods of data collection by the contributing associations may affect these growth rates.


6

Nominal Growth by Product Category PCB production growth was positive in 2016 only for HDI/microvia boards and flexible circuits. These growth rates are based on nominal data, which are not adjusted to eliminate the effects of exchange rate changes.
