Engineering institute for printed circuit board (PCB) industry, forecast full-year 2013 Taiwan PCB production will only a 1.53% growth in 2012, the output value of nt $405.7 billion, the growth slowing, advised emerging areas such as layout, wearable device.
Engineering institute IEK components research, researcher Jiang Baifeng pointed out that Taiwan PCB industry affected by the downstream end products pulled goods strength to slow, reduction of 10.2% in the first quarter this year, the second quarter increased 3.4%, forecast third quarter by terminal brands to launch new, can lift PCB production growth up 4.1%, and affected by this year's new product launch time delayed effect, the fourth quarter is expected to slightly down 1.3%.
Engineering institute estimates, 2013 Taiwan PCB production will only a 1.53% growth in 2012, production value of nt $405.7 billion.
Jiang Baifeng stressed that our growth slowing, is a warning for Taiwan PCB industry, past the Taiwanese supply main brands in Europe and the need of PCB products, made with Taiwanese brands sales growth, and promote Taiwan PCB production grow up, but in a city with international brands for losing status, joint impact the revenue of Taiwan PCB industry, performance is better than ever.
Jiang Baifeng further stated that Taiwan PCB industry facing ict products market slowing or decline, ranked reshuffle in the international brands, should consider how to seek long-term survival follow-up, and lift the Taiwan PCB production sharply upward growth in 2014.
And examine the existing electronic products to Jiang Baifeng said, should be the development direction of toward the light, thin, small layout, and grasp the future market potential of new products, for example, a wearable device of intelligent bracelet watches, wisdom, smart glasses, and emerging areas such as vehicle automated driving.
