As semi-annual reports are released, printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturers have entered a period of robust performance fulfillment, with the majority of listed companies reporting revenue growth in the first half of the year. The surge in AI computing power and automotive demand has fueled an increase in the volume of servers and AI-related consumer electronics, catalyzing the advancement of the PCB industry chain towards multi-layer boards and low-power consumption solutions. Manufacturers are actively investing in expansion efforts and accelerating their exploration of the Southeast Asian market. Nonetheless, a recent surge in the price of copper clad laminates, a crucial upstream component of PCBs, has commodity analysts warning of intensifying pressure on copper prices in the second half of the year. This development may exacerbate competition among PCB enterprises and complicate cost management strategies.
