Competitive Landscape - Major manufacturers capable of producing high-end HDI PCBs include Shenghong, Pengding Holdings, Dongshan Precision, and Shennan Circuit [19]. - Shenghong holds a 75% market share in the accelerator card market, indicating a strong competitive position [21]. Future Trends - The industry is expected to see continued advancements in high-end HDI technology, with potential for 9-layer HDI and further optimization of low TK glass cloth [7]. - The adoption of MSAP (Modified Semi-Additive Process) is anticipated to increase the demand for low-expansion materials by approximately 10 million square meters annually [23]. Specific Applications and Innovations - Huawei's 384 super orthogonal backplane is manufactured by leading domestic companies, with a high production cost of around 200,000 yuan per square meter [12][31]. - The new COVO process requires resin with higher expansion coefficients and improved copper foil uniformity, enhancing performance for high-speed PCBs [14]. Additional Important Insights - The transition from ADF narrow boards to advanced PCB solutions is expected to significantly increase the demand for low CTE glass cloth [23]. - The new packaging method, which integrates chips with larger PCBs, is still in the experimental phase and has not yet reached mass production [29]. This summary encapsulates the critical developments and projections within the PCB industry as discussed in the conference call, highlighting the technological advancements, material requirements, market dynamics, and competitive landscape.
