Copper clad laminate, the essential foundational material for PCBs, is currently witnessing a steep price hike owing to a mismatch between supply and demand. This material, which consists of an insulating substrate and thin copper foil, plays a pivotal role in PCB fabrication. Owing to a sharp uptick in demand from high-tech industries like AI semiconductors, data centers, and autonomous vehicles, the scarcity of copper clad laminate has reverberated throughout the entire supply chain.
