PCB Tech - Solution company chooses to outsource PCB design

PCB design is based on the circuit schematic diagram to achieve the functions required by the circuit designer. Excellent PCB design can save production costs and achieve good circuit performance and heat dissipation performance.

Characteristics of the domestic PCB industry

Since the reform and opening up, due to preferential policies in terms of labor resources, market, investment, etc., China has attracted large-scale transfers of European and American manufacturing industries. A large number of electronic products and manufacturers have set up factories in China, which has led to The development of related industries within.

According to China CPCA statistics, in 2006 China’s actual PCB output reached 130 million square meters, and the output value reached 12.1 billion US dollars, accounting for 24.90% of the global PCB output value, surpassing Japan to become the world’s number one; China’s PCB market grew at an average annual rate from 2000 to 2006 The rate reached 20%, far exceeding the global average; the global financial crisis in 2008 caused a huge impact on the PCB industry, but did not cause a catastrophic blow to China’s PCB industry. Under the stimulus of national economic policies in 2010, China’s PCB industry appeared comprehensive Recovery, China's PCB outputvalue in 2010 reached 19.971 billion US dollars; Prismark predicts that China will maintain a compound annual growth rate of 8.10% between 2010 and 2015, which is higher than the global average growth rate of 5.40%.

The serious shortage of PCB design talents in second and third tier cities

In recent years, the domestic PCB design industry has been affected by factors such as the financial crisis and industrial upgrading. The PCB industry in China has been affected to a certain extent. As China’s PCB industry is mainly distributed in South China and East China, the combined amount of the two has reached 90% of the country’s total. The agglomeration effect is too obvious, leading to a serious shortage of PCB design talents in second- and third-tier cities.

Uneven distribution of downstream applications in China's PCB industry

In the downstream application distribution of China’s PCB industry, consumer electronics accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 39%; followed by computers, accounting for 22%; communications accounting for 14%; industrial control/medical equipment accounting for 14%; automotive electronics accounting for 6%; 5%.

The development of PCB design technology lags behind the world's advanced level

Although China is now the world’s largest in terms of industrial scale, it still lags behind the world’s advanced level in terms of the overall technological level of the PCB industry. In terms of product structure, multilayer boards account for most of the output value, but most For low-end products with 8 layers or less, HDI, flexible boards, etc. have a certain scale, but there is a gap between the technological content and advanced foreign products such as Japan. The IC substrate with the highest technological content is even rarer in China. Production.

What are the reasons why more and more solution companies choose to outsource PCB design

Although the domestic PCB industry is facing many problems and challenges, the huge market still makes many companies invest in it. In addition to professional PCB design service providers, some non-professional solution providers have continuous demand for PCB design. Therefore, domestic merchants choose to PCB design service outsourcing. According to statistics, there are more than 50PCB design outsourcing requirements released on Kuaibao in the first half of this year. This is also the fastest growing outsourcing demand on Kuaibao this year.

Since PCB design is an indispensable part of the electronic industry industry chain, companies also have their own special aspects when choosing PCB design outsourcing. From the domestic leading intelligent product development outsourcing service platform-PCB outsourcing on Kuaibao Service, you can see the reasons for their needs.
