5,PCB board materials enjoying strong revenue
growth in 2016
PCB board materials:Taiwan-based PCB players are pushing into car-use
products as demand for PCs, smartphones and tablets has been weakening. Chin
Poon and Tripod Technology, which have been operating in the car-use PCB market
for a long time, are looking to expand their presence in the market, while
newcomers including Unitech, Unimicron Technology, Global Brands Manufacture
(GBM), Apex International, Zhen Ding Tech and Ichia have been trying to catch
up.
With demand for smart car applications including Internet
of Things (IoT), semi-auto drive, infotainment systems, around-view monitoring
systems, parking sensors and portable navigation devices, growing rapidly,
demand for related upstream components such as PCBs is rising, and many PCB
makers are aggressively looking to grab a share of the market.
Chin Poon has been in the car-use PCB market for many
years and derives over 70% of its revenues from the business. The company is
expected to continue enjoying strong revenue growth in 2016.
pcb board materials,Since car-use components require certification from car
vendors, and the process usually takes more than 2-3 years, the new competitors
are unlikely to become a big threat to Chin Poon in the short term.
Tripod is currently seeing its car-use PCB business
contribute about 18% of revenues, and the business is also improving the
company's gross margins.
Seeing dropping smartphone and tablet PCB orders and
fierce price competition from competitors, Unitech has been shifting its focus
to car-use PCBs and the business now contributes about 25% of its revenues. The
company is expected to continue focusing on car-use applications to improve its
financial status.
Although Apex is still heavily reliant on orders for
consumer electronics PCBs, the company is still seeing stable operations as
most orders are for entertainment products such as gambling machines. The
company also recently started striving for orders for car-use PCBs and the
business currently contributes about 5% of its revenues. With stable relationships,
Apex's orders are expected to rise gradually and increase its revenues.pcb
