日前,IPC美国电子工业连接协会出版《2006年全球PCB生产和层压板市场报告》.基于对数据的分析,该报告显示世界PCB市场在2006年有明显的扩大,产值实现连续三年的增长.476亿美元的产值,按名义价值计算较2005年有了11.7%的增长（非通胀调整后的价值）,超过了2000年的峰值.

该报告采集了来自全球PCB行业从业人员的数据,统计排名了全球前十大PCB生产国,提供了对挠性电路板的详细分析和对全球PCB行业的全局论述,展示了层压板市场的地域区别,并且包含了对汇率及过去PCB刚性板生产的相关信息. 这个报告是全球顶级的本行业分析师们共同的努力成果,IPC市场调查总监Sharon Starr如是说,它对于全球电子产业链内的每个环节都具有借鉴意义. 报告显示,由于全球市场对电子产品的需求不断增加,PCB产值的涨幅已经超过了经济增长和大多数其他行业的增长.除此之外,亚洲PCB的产量已持续增长至全球产量的81%,同时欧洲和北美的市场份额在逐年减少.

中国成为PCB产量涨幅最大的国家,涨幅达到全球的两倍. 本报告仅面向IPC执行市场和技术论坛的成员.欲了解会员论坛、IPC统计数据和其他市场调查报告的信息,请登录www.ipc.org/MarketResearch,或者联系Sharon Starr, +1 847-597-2817 或者 SharonStarr@ipc.org.

Viewed by many in the industry as the definitive source on worldwide PCB production, the report ighlights world production of PCBs by the top-ten producing countries; provides special analysis on flexible printed circuits and general commentary on the worldwide PCB industry; reveals laminate market details by region; and presents exchange rates and information on historical world rigid PCB production. The report is the product of a consensus process involving the world leading analysts in our industry, explains Sharon Starr, IPC director of market research. It should prove useful to all tiers of the world electronics chain. According to the report, PCB growth has outpaced economic growth and the growth of most other industries, thanks to the growing demand for electronic products. In addition, Asia has continued to grow to 81 percent of world PCB production, while Europe and North America continued to lose some share. China has outpaced most other countries in PCB production growth. Though slowing, China growth is about twice the global rate of growth for PCB production. The report is only available to members of IPC Executive Market and Technology Forum.
