PCB is the substrate that can be used to assemble electronic components. It can make the electronic components connect according to the scheduled circuit. It is called “mother of the electronic devices”. PCB was invented 1936; It was used by military radio the on a large scale in 1943; It had not been used widely before nineteen fifties. The adjustment of European industrial structure and the cost advantage in Asia makes the manufacture of PCB transfer from Europe and America to Asia.

With the development of downstream industry, the PCB industry is growing steadily in recent years. Influenced by the global economic crisis in 2009, the sales of global electronic industry had declined. According to the statistic from Prismark, the total output value of global of PCB was 41.2 billion US dollars in 2009, which had reduced 14.76% than last year. The economic situation was optimistic in the year of 2010, and the PCB industry had recovered. The total output value of had reached 51 billion US dollars in 2010. It is predicated that the growth rate of global PCB will keep at 6.3% from 2011 to 2015. The scale of the PCB can be 68.9 billion US dollars in the year of 2015. The shipment of PCB had increased in the past ten years. With the progress of technology, the price of the PCB has declined obviously.

Prismark keeps an optimistic attitude towards the development of PCB industry, because it is an important electronic component which should have coordinative development with the entire electronic market. We can conclude that the market of single sided Board and dual platen is mature now. The demand of single sided board will be stable because of the technology and cost of PCB; the demand for multilayer board will increase in the future years with electronic products’ enhancing performance; the HDI board is in the fast-growing stage. Its demand will increase with the development technology; the aluminium base, photovoltaie panel and chip package board are in the market introduction market. They will have large developing space.
