Printed Circuit Boards: Technologies and Global MarketsNEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- This BCC Research report forecasts the market size for PCBs used in end applications, including mobile phones and tablets, networking devices, instrumentation and scientific research, among others. Forecasts given from 2015 to 2021. Demand alone does not dictate the pricing of PCBs as supply-side constraints also play an important role. This report highlights the importance of the distinctive dynamics of supply and demand on the prospects of the PCB market. This report does not consider the semiconductor packaging substrate market a part of the PCB market. While packages have close correlation with PCBs, they are distinct entities. There is no clear product or solution that has successfully bridged the divide between IC packages and the underlying PCBs. This report measures PCB shipments in terms of area instead of actual units. This is an accurate means of measurement as the pricing of a PCB directly correlates with its area. A board with dimensions of 70 millimeters (mm) by 50 mm (i.e., 35 square centimeters) is considered a single PCB unit. STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES This study's goals and objectives are: To measure and forecast the market size for PCBs in terms of dollar sales and shipment volumes. To break down the overall PCB market along the following individual end applications: Mobile phones and tablets. Networking devices. Instrumentation and scientific research. Medicine. Defense, surveillance and aviation. Energy. Consumer electronics. Computing and storage. Industrial. Automotive and transportation. Retail To break down the individual end-application markets along the following PCB types: One- or two-layer rigid. Multilayer rigid. Microvia. Flex. Rigid-flex To break down end-application markets along the following geographic regions: The Americas Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Asia-Pacific (APAC). To analyze the stakeholder landscape for PCB research and commercialization activities. To analyze patent activity related to PCBs Read the full report: http://www.reportlinker.com/p03944193-summary/view-report.html About Reportlinker ReportLinker is an award-winning market research solution.
