Qian Zhan Wang·2025-05-02 07:07Core Viewpoint - The printed circuit board (PCB) industry in China is experiencing rapid development driven by government policies aimed at enhancing high-performance, high-frequency, and high-speed PCB products, as well as encouraging innovation and the development of new materials [1][3]. Policy Overview - The PCB industry is recognized as a critical component of electronic products, often referred to as the "mother of electronic products." The industry has evolved through various national plans, including the "12th Five-Year Plan," "13th Five-Year Plan," and "14th Five-Year Plan," focusing on improving material self-sufficiency, forming industrial clusters, and advancing technology innovation [1][3]. - A series of policies have been issued at the national level to support the development of high-performance PCBs, with a focus on innovation and new material research. As of February 2025, several key policies have been summarized [3][4]. National Policy Summary - Policies include the "Development Implementation Plan for Fine Chemical Industry Innovation" (2024-2027), which aims to enhance the supply capacity of key products in various fields, including electronic chemicals and high-performance materials [4]. - The "Guidance on Accelerating the Transformation and Upgrading of Traditional Manufacturing" emphasizes the need for enterprises to focus on foundational components and materials [5]. - The "Quality Strong Nation Construction Outline" aims to improve manufacturing agility and quality through the integration of digital technologies [5]. Provincial Policy Summary - Local governments are actively issuing policies to promote the PCB industry. For instance, Beijing's "14th Five-Year Plan" focuses on supporting consumer electronics and advanced manufacturing processes [10]. - Guangdong's initiatives include fostering high-end PCB production and supporting semiconductor material development [10][11]. - Jiangxi's plans aim to enhance the local PCB industry, targeting a revenue of 80 billion yuan by 2026 [12]. Industry Development Goals - The industry aims to overcome technological bottlenecks in high-end products such as HDI boards and flexible PCBs, while also focusing on the development of advanced manufacturing techniques [8]. - There is a strong emphasis on achieving self-sufficiency in key materials and components, reducing reliance on imports [8]. - The overall goal is to enhance the competitiveness of the PCB industry through innovation and improved product quality, aligning with national and local development strategies [8][12].
