Printed Circuit Board Market Segment Analysis - By Type

There are three types of printed circuit boards they are single-sided, double-sided and multi-layer PCBs. Multi Layer PCB is projected to grow at the fastest rate from 2021-2026 at 7.2% CAGR. Each type of PCB has various price points and uses and they are widely used in automotive applications. Single-sided PCB is something which comes with only one layer of conducting material on one side of the board and other side is used for incorporating different electronic components such as integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, electrolytic capacitors and resistors on the board. Double-sided surface mount PCBs are same as single-sided PCBs but the difference is they have two sided traces with top and bottom layer. Multi-layer PCB’s can support a high level of circuit complexity as they are made up of three or more copper layers laminated together.
Printed Circuit Board Market Segment Analysis - By End Use Industry

The various end users assessed include automotive, healthcare, industrial electronics, consumer electronics, maritime transport, aerospace & defense and others. PCB in healthcare is used in various devices which monitor health of a person or assist the doctor in surgical operations. On the other hand PCB in pharmaceutical industry used in manufacturing drugs and other medicines at industry level. PCBA stands for printed circuit board assemblies and they are widely used in the automobile industry. PCB’s have managed to bring a change in the way people drive through increasing complexity of components such as Integrated circuits, programmable logic controllers, electrolytic capacitor and resistors. GPS navigation system, anti-lock brake system, ECU systems that control engines and several safety and security features that all require PCB’s. Aerospace and defense sectors are one of the key consumers of PCB with major application avionics, communication systems, and weapon systems. PCB forms the necessary foundation for packaging and interconnecting in any electronic circuits. PCBs are used in radar signals which set up in military fighter aircraft such as collision avoidance, blind spot detection and adaptive and adaptive cruise control system. Printed circuit boards are commonly used in vehicles these days in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Passenger Vehicles dominate the automotive market in 2020. The main function of the PCB is to provide mechanical support and electric connection to different components of the vehicle.
