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]

• HKPCA – Daniel Chan, Executive Director, Hong Kong Printed Circuit Association, [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]

The WECC members are grateful for Dr. Hayao Nakahara’s generous contribution of data on PCB production in India. Please contact the 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. Year-on-year growth rates have been adjusted for 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. The estimates for flexible circuit production in this report, therefore, may include some assembly revenue.

2014 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 approximately 99 percent of the world’s PCBs, based on value. Estimates of 2014 PCB Production in the World’s Major PCB-Producing Areas

Notes: 1. Flexible circuit and rigid flex estimates may include some assembly revenue. 2. The “Others” product category includes metal core PCBs in Hong Kong and Taiwan, ceramic and metal core PCBs in

Japan and Other Asia, and high-performance PCBs 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 are reported in Japanese yen. Japanese companies account for more than 70 percent of PCB production in Other Asia.

5. North American data are reported in U.S. dollars. 6. Central & South America data, provided by IPC, are reported in Brazilian real, as Brazil was the primary location of

PCB production in this region. 7. Please see the appendix on exchange rates to determine the impact on amounts in specific currencies. 8. 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 2013 and 2014 estimates from the WECC PCB production surveys in local currencies, worldwide PCB production increased 1.4 percent in 2014. Other Asia posted the highest growth in PCB production in real terms. It should be noted that some growth rate changes may reflect the adoption of new sources or methods of data collection. Countries and regions where such changes are known to affect the resulting data are excluded from this graph.

Nominal Growth by Product Category PCB production growth was positive but modest in 2014 for HDI/microvia/build-up boards, standard multilayer and flexible circuits.
