Core Insights - The rigid copper-clad laminate (CCL) industry in China experienced rapid growth from 2019 to 2021 due to accelerated 5G base station construction, surging demand for electronic components in electric vehicles, and increased consumer electronics demand driven by the pandemic. However, starting in 2022, the industry entered an adjustment phase due to global economic recession, weak consumer electronics demand, and semiconductor supply chain disruptions. In 2023, the industry continued to contract, with sales volume slightly decreasing to 524.9 million square meters and sales revenue shrinking to 9.334 billion yuan, representing a year-on-year decline of 16.3% [2]. Industry Overview - Rigid copper-clad laminates, also known as copper foil laminated boards, play a crucial role in electronic circuit manufacturing, providing conductivity, insulation, and support. They significantly impact signal transmission speed, energy loss, and characteristic impedance. Rigid copper-clad laminates are characterized by their hardness and toughness, making them suitable for applications in communication devices, household appliances, electronic toys, and computer peripherals [3]. Policy Background - China's policy support for the rigid copper-clad laminate industry is characterized by multi-level and multi-dimensional collaborative promotion, focusing on technological upgrades, intelligent equipment transformation, and green transition. Key policy areas include supporting the R&D breakthroughs of high-frequency and high-speed copper-clad laminates and high-performance substrates, optimizing production processes, and establishing standardized testing systems to enhance product reliability. Additionally, policies encourage enterprises to strengthen pilot testing capabilities through advanced equipment updates and promote sustainable development through the adoption of environmentally friendly materials and clean production processes [5][6]. Industry Chain - The rigid copper-clad laminate industry chain in China consists of upstream suppliers of key raw materials such as electronic-grade glass fiber cloth, copper foil, resin, and wood pulp paper, which provide the foundational materials for laminate manufacturing. The midstream focuses on the production and manufacturing of rigid copper-clad laminates through processes like lamination and coating. The downstream applications cover communication devices, household appliances, electronic toys, and computer peripherals, directly serving the demands of consumer electronics, communication technology, and home appliance industries [7]. Current Industry Status - In 2023, the global rigid copper-clad laminate market faced a decline due to macroeconomic fluctuations, with total sales revenue dropping by 16.3% to 12.734 billion USD and sales volume slightly decreasing by 1.1% to 656.8 million square meters. Among the product categories, conventional FR-4 maintained the largest sales revenue share at 33.38%, while special resin-based and dedicated CCL (including high-speed, high-frequency, and IC carrier boards) increased their share to 32.88%, driven by resilient high-end demand from AI servers, 5G communication, and advanced packaging technologies. The demand for halogen-free FR-4 and high Tg FR-4 has contracted due to weakened consumer electronics and automotive electronics demand, while composite and paper-based CCL accounted for less than 10% of the market, leading to a rapid exit of traditional low-end products. Notably, high-speed CCL (including halogen-free types) showed outstanding performance among the three special laminates, with sales revenue increasing by 5.5% despite market challenges, driven by rising technical barriers [9].
