DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/xzkkvz/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Advanced Rigid PCB Industry Report, 2014-2015" report to their offering.
In 2014, the accelerated recovery of rigid PCB industry arises out of another reason the retreat of Japanese PCB companies.
In November 2013, Japan's Panasonic announced its decision to sharply reduce its PCB capacity globally, with 90% of its global capacity closed down by Q1 2015. In 2013, Panasonic's revenue from PCB business, mainly involved the R&D of ALIVH (Any Layer Interstitial Via Hole) applied in smartphones, was approximately USD310 million. In March 2013, Panasonic was reported to cut down its PCB capacity in Taiwan and Vietnam. In mid-March 2012, the company established a factory in Dayuan Township of Taoyuan County, a move that was designed to compete for HTC orders. In 2013, however, the shipments of HTC presented a sharp decline, thus resulting in fairly low capacity utilization, hence the determination to withdraw the market.
Still, the Japanese automobile PCB vendor CMK also followed suit and announced in January 2014 that it would shut down its PCB factory YAMANASHI SANKO on April 30, 2014. Meanwhile, it would suspend the production of mobile phone multilayer PCB ALIVH products. Currently, it is Austria's AT&S alone that uses ALIVH technology.
Japanese PCB also showed the tendency of mergers and acquisitions, with NEC-TOPPAN acquired by Kyocera in August 2013. In future, Fujitsu will also be very likely to sell its PCB business. And Daisho Denshi may merge with PCB business of Hitachi Chemical.
