Dear Valued Customers,
With the fast development of electronic products, there is a great leap in PCB industry. Over the past decade, the global PCB industry continues to migrate to Asia, especially in China. China has rapidly become the major producer of electronic products and PCBs. According to prediction of Prismark, China's output in 2017 will reach 29.1 billion dollars while the global output is 64.6 billion dollars, more than 45%.
However, the capacity of China is limited against the rapid development. The shortage of raw materials, such as copper foil, glass fiber, glass cloth and other chemical materials, results in a series of price increase. Since March 2016, raw material suppliers, like Kingboard and Shengyi, have raised price several times almost with a percent of 50%, which causes the price increase in the whole PCB supply chain.
