企业竞争图谱：2024年柔性印刷电路板（FPC） 头豹词条报告系列

Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly state an investment rating for the flexible printed circuit board (FPC) industry. Core Insights - The FPC industry is experiencing significant growth driven by advancements in high-tech sectors such as new energy vehicles, 5G communication, and wearable devices. The market size is projected to grow from 71.9 billion RMB in 2024 to 206.1 billion RMB by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.12% [43][51]. Industry Definition - Flexible printed circuit boards (FPC) are made from polyimide (PI) or polyester films, characterized by high wiring density, lightweight, thinness, and good bending properties. They are essential for connecting electronic components in various applications, including smartphones, wearable devices, and automotive electronics [5][4]. Industry Classification - The FPC industry is classified based on the number of layers: - Single-layer FPC - Double-sided FPC - Multi-layer FPC [6][7][8]. Industry Characteristics - The FPC industry is marked by complex production processes, high technical barriers, and expanding downstream applications. The production of FPC is more challenging than traditional rigid PCBs due to the flexibility of materials used [9][10][28]. Development History - The FPC industry has evolved through three main stages: early research and application (1960-2000), rapid development and industrial transfer (2001-2015), and application expansion (2016-present). The industry is now benefiting from government policies promoting high-tech sectors [18][21][24]. Industry Chain Analysis - The FPC industry chain consists of upstream raw material supply (e.g., flexible copper clad laminate), midstream design and manufacturing, and downstream applications in consumer electronics, automotive electronics, and more [26][27]. Market Size and Growth - The FPC market size increased from 3.738 billion RMB in 2018 to 51.982 billion RMB in 2023, with a CAGR of 69.29%. The market is expected to continue growing significantly due to the increasing demand for lightweight and flexible electronic components [43][44]. Future Development Potential - The automotive electronics sector presents substantial growth potential for FPC, especially with the rise of electric vehicles and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). In 2023, global electric vehicle sales reached 14.65 million units, with a penetration rate of 22% [29][42]. Competitive Landscape - The FPC industry features numerous participants, with China emerging as a major production hub. However, foreign companies maintain a competitive edge in high-end FPC products. The leading companies include Japanese and American firms, while domestic players like Pengding Holdings and Hongxin Electronics are gaining ground [63][64][66].
