4 INDUSTRY OVERVIEW INDUSTRY OVERVIEW China, the world s largest PCB manufacturing base, is expected to reverse fully by end-2010 the 4 percent decrease in production value it sustained in 2009 due to a slump in orders Further, projections point to a continued upturn in the next few years The domestic industry is forecast to have a CAGR of more than 8 percent in , while the rate will be about 4 percent globally, according to Prismark China has consistently fared well in PCBs, securing a 35 percent share in worldwide production value last year despite the lag Global turnout reached $406 billion, dropping 16 percent because of the economic crisis One of two key factors driving the local line s growth is the huge domestic market boasting captive consumer electronics, computer and telecom sectors The other is the continued shift of global capacity to China, which plays host to 930 of the world s 2,430 board manufacturers They include most major companies that have set up factories there, attracted by the country s expansive industries and production cost advantage Unimicron, Nippon Mektron, Ibiden, TTM, Semco, Tripod, Kingboard Chemical, Fujikura, Young Poong and CMK are among them As a result, the printed board category is expected to touch $222 billion by 2014, with worldwide share reaching close to 42 percent At present, multilayer PCBs make up the largest segment in China, representing more than 50 percent of the total yield The share will keep rising in the years ahead, sustained by widening applications in the consumer and automotive electronics, communication, medical and industrial sectors HDI types follow, constituting about 25 percent These are anticipated to log double-digit growth in coming years The variant is extensively used in mobile phones, notebook PCs and digital still cameras, which combined absorb 90 percent of output IDC forecasts global production value of the first will increase 14 percent by year-end Shipments of the last, meanwhile, are expected to hit 100 million units, up about 4 percent from 2009, according to the Camera & Imaging Products Association China s status as the largest manufacturing base for these devices plays to suppliers advantage Providing additional momentum for high-density interconnect boards is adoption in automotive and other consumer electronic products Penetration is likewise rising in the medical, industrial and military fields Flexible variants round up the top three segments in the line and have approximately 15 percent share in China s output Thanks to use in communication devices, consumer and automotive electronics, computers, and military and medical equipment, the type will remain dynamic, with projected growth at about 10 percent in 2011 The first three products are key demand drivers, particularly mobile phones, digital still cameras, laptops, and LCD monitors and TVs China s yield of single- and double-sided PCBs, meanwhile, is on the decline The types are down to a 10 percent stake in total output, dropping by 15 percent annually since 2007 This reflected global trends, with aggregate market value falling by 37 percent in Maturity keeps the products from matching current trends for miniaturization and multifunctionality Boosting competitiveness China suppliers are strengthening competitiveness amid cost issues to maintain the country s leading position Since implementing price Supplier summary Suppliers surveyed 28 Export sales $4841mn Export ratio 49% OEM business 80% Capacity utilized 79% Annual R&D spending $477mn Full-time employees 24,400 Data: All surveyed suppliers reductions is not an option due to climbing labor and material outlay, makers are tapping other strategies to cushion the negative effects of this situation Some are planning to lower OEM share or moving to lines with healthier margins such as HDI and rigid-flex boards Still others simply keep quotes at existing levels to retain clients and draw new ones Average wages, meanwhile, have risen by 50 percent in the past five years In 1H10, the labor shortage prompted companies to increase salaries to attract manpower The government issued a regulation to augment the minimum payment in Guangdong province by an average of 21 percent, and not lower than 10 percent in the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone The guideline was released after several suppliers adjusted wages Global Expert Technologies Ltd said it boosted compensation by 7 to 10 percent in April this year For now, the worker deficit has been resolved Industry experts, however, are saying the issue will persist in the long term, an effect partly of the country s one-child policy To ensure stability of production and sufficient manpower, especially during peak seasons, companies are conducting employee training and stepping up new worker recruitment activities Some are also increasing gradually their investment in advertising and promotion to bolster foreign market sales and overall margins wwwchinasourcingreportscom 7
