市場力学

促進要因

車載用電子部品の需要増加

電気部品も電子部品も、カーエレクトロニクスに関連するため、非常に複雑な構造を持っています。HDIマイクロビアやエニーレイヤーボードは、ハイテク部品へのシフトにより需要が高まっています。技術的には、e-mobility、低価格車、安全、情報、環境などが重視されています。さらに、レーザーマイクロビアのような高密度化、細線化、高性能な薄型材料がHDIプリント基板の特徴となっています。

制約条件

プリント基板の初期コストが高い

フレキシブルプリント基板は、銅箔、電解溶剤、コバルト塩などが材料となり、製造工程でコスト高となります。また、フレキシブルプリント基板は用途に応じて設計・製造されるため、初期の回路設計やレイアウト、写真製版などにコストがかかります。このような要因が、予測期間中の市場成長を抑制しています。

機会

民生用電子機器の急速な普及

フレキシブルプリント基板は、従来の電気コネクタを使用し、同じ回路や他の電子機器のさまざまなコンポーネントを結合する方法から、大きく変化しています。フレキシブル電子部品は、その適応性、コンパクト性、高い電気接続密度を生み出す能力で知られています。また、コンシューマーエレクトロニクス用PCBは、最終製品のコストを低く抑えるために、安価であることが要求されます。また、競争力を維持するためには、製品の機能性に依存するため、メーカーは信頼性の高い基板を望んでいます。PCBは、ラジオ、タブレット、スマートウォッチ、スマートフォン、その他の通信機器などの家電製品の動作に必要とされます。

脅威

サイズが限られ、破損しやすい

従来のプロセスが利用できない場合、FPCは通常、バッチプロセスで生産されます。製造装置のサイズに制限があるため、特に長尺・幅広のサイズは製造できないです。作業者が不適切な場合、FPCが破損しやすいです。FPCは、訓練を受けた担当者がはんだ付けし、再加工する必要があります。これらの点が、予測期間中の市場成長を阻害しています。

COVID-19の影響

COVID-19の大流行は、半導体およびエレクトロニクス分野に短中期的な影響を与えると予想され、フレキシブルPCBの市場にも影響を及ぼすと考えられています。さらに、操業停止のため、電子機器メーカーのサプライチェーンに支障をきたしています。さらに、家電製品はコロナウイルスのシナリオの影響を受けると予測され、次いで自動車や産業分野も影響を受けると考えられています。

予測期間中、多層FPCBSが最大となる見込み

多層FPCBは、小さなフットプリントで大容量、高速、高密度実装が可能という生来の電気的パラメータにより、市場で最大のシェアを占めており、予測期間中もこのポジションを維持すると予想されています。このような高価で複雑な回路を作ることは困難ですが、顧客、生産者、設計者の回路密度のさらなる向上に対する要求を満たすことができます。また、防衛・航空宇宙分野では、フレキシブル多層回路はダイナミックで高密度な回路を提供することができるため、魅力的な存在となっています。

通信分野では予測期間中に最も高いCAGRが見込まれる

移動体通信システム、無線通信システム、携帯電話基地局用システムなど、幅広い用途で使用されるようになったことから、通信分野では予測期間中に最も高いCAGRを記録すると予想されます。また、電子データストレージ機器、セル送信機やタワー電子機器、ビデオコラボレーションシステム、高速サーバー、ルーターなどにも使用されています。さらに、スマートフォン、ラップトップ、ウェアラブルなどの最新電子機器におけるこれらの回路の使用増加が、予測期間中の市場成長を大きく促進すると予想されます。

最もシェアの高い地域

自動車におけるADASや車両安全機能の統合が進み、民生用電子機器や通信製品の普及が進んでいることから、フレキシブルプリント基板の世界市場においてアジア太平洋地域は最大のシェアを占めており、予測期間中も同様のシェアを維持すると予想されます。また、環境問題や規制の高まり、電気自動車の普及などにより、同地域でのFPCの需要は増加すると予想されます。

CAGRが最も高い地域

北米は、軍事・航空宇宙産業からの需要が大きいため、予測期間中に最も高いCAGRで成長すると予測されます。さらに、テクノロジーの利用拡大が、この地域の市場拡大を大きく後押ししています。この地域では、経済性、設計の自由度、軽量性、シンプルな構造などの利点が、この産業の成長を促進します。

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Flexible Printed Circuit Boards Market is accounted for $23.1 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $46.4 billion by 2028 growing at a CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period. In comparison to rigid PCBs, flexible PCBs are smaller and lighter, saving up to 60% of the weight and volume. Generally, single and/or double-sided circuits are combined to produce these circuit boards. The product has many positive capabilities, such as higher assembly density, increased flexibility, less requirement for connector wiring harness, reduced size, and better incorporation of controlled impedance features. They have been adopted more widely across a variety of end-user industries as a result of the advantages offered in terms of cost and durability. Moreover, the desire for flexible, small, and compact electronics in the automotive and medical industries is also projected to have a beneficial impact on the market's growth.

According to the International Organisation of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers, around 92 million vehicles were manufactured and produced in the year 2019, worldwide.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rise in Demand for Automotive Electronics

Both electrical and electronic components have extremely complex structures as they pertain to automotive electronics. The demand for HDI microvia and any-layer boards is rising due to the shift toward high-tech components. Technology focuses on concerns including e-mobility, affordable cars, safety, information, and the environment. Furthermore, rising density elements such as laser microvias, narrow lines, and high-performance thin materials characterize HDI PCBs.

Restraint:

High initial PCB cost

Copper foil, electrolytic solvents, and cobalt salts are materials used to make flexible printed circuit boards, and their high cost is increased during the production process. The price of initial circuit design, layout, and photographic plates is costly since flexible PCBs are designed and manufactured for particular purposes. Such factor restrains the market growth during the projection period.

Opportunity:

Rapid Adoption of Consumer Electronic Devices

Due to the usage of traditional electrical connector methods to combine various components of the same circuit or other electronic devices has been transformed by the development of flexible PCBs. Flexible electronics are renowned for their adaptability, compactness, and ability to produce high electrical connection density. Consumer electronics PCBs must be inexpensive also in order to keep the cost of the final product low. Manufacturers also desire reliable boards since they depend on the functionality of their products to remain competitive. PCBs are required for the operation of consumer electronic products like radios, tablets, smartwatches, smartphones, and other communication devices.

Threat:

Limited size and easily damaged

If a conventional process is not available, FPC is typically produced in a batch process. Due to the size restrictions of the production equipment, particularly long and wide sizes cannot be produced. By using improper personnel, FPC is easily harmed. It needs to be soldered and reworked by trained personnel. These aspects hinder the market growth throughout the forecasted period.

COVID-19 Impact:

The COVID-19 pandemic is anticipated to have a short- and medium-term impact on the semiconductor and electronics sectors, which is expected to have an effect on the market for flexible PCBs. Additionally, because of the shutdown, the supply chain of electronic manufacturers has been hampered. Furthermore, consumer electronics are predicted to be impacted by the coronavirus scenario, followed by the automobile and industrial sectors.

The multilayer FPCBS segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

Owing to their innate electrical parameters, such as the ability to provide high capacity and high speed in a smaller footprint and higher assembly density, multi-layer FPCBs held the largest share of the market and is anticipated to hold this position throughout the forecast period. These costly and complex circuits are challenging to build, but they satisfy customer, producer, and designer demands for even more circuit density. Moreover, in the defence and aerospace industries, flexible multilayer circuits are attractive because they offer dynamic, high-density circuits.

The telecommunication segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

Due to the increased usage in a wide range of applications, such as mobile communication systems, wireless communication systems, and systems for mobile phone towers, the telecommunications segment is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. It is also used in electronic data storage devices, cell transmission and tower electronics, video collaboration systems, high-speed servers, and routers. Furthermore, increased use of these circuits in modern electronics such as smartphones, laptops, wearables, and other devices is expected to significantly drive market growth over the forecast period.

Region with largest share:

Because of the increasing integration of ADAS and vehicle safety features in automotive, as well as the increased penetration of consumer electronic devices and telecommunication products, Asia Pacific held the largest share of the global market for flexible printed circuit boards, and it is anticipated that it will hold the same during the projection period. Additionally, demand for FPC is anticipated to rise in the region as a result of rising environmental concerns and regulations, as well as the expanding use of electric vehicles.

Region with highest CAGR:

Because of the substantial demand from the military and aerospace industries, North America is predicted to grow at the highest CAGR over the projection period. Additionally, the expanding use of technology is significantly boosting regional market expansion. In this region, the benefits like economical nature, design freedom, lightweight, and simple structuring will drive the growth of this industry.
