Japan - The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has released October’s PCB
manufacturers’ production data. Total revenue was approximately $822 million, a
15.1% increase over September, and total volume shipped was 2.28 million square
meters, an 8.1% increase over the previous month.
All
market segments experienced an increase in volume. The multi-layer rigid circuit board segment posted significant
increases, with four and six to eight layer boards increasing 26.6% and 41.6%
respectively, as compared to September.
Flexible
circuits were up 8.3% and module circuits were up 10.1%, with
single-sided flexible circuits remaining flat. While volume for
rigid module circuits remains high, demand has slowed. Shipments for
other module circuits were sluggish in October, but manufacturers have
reported that demand for this segment has turned upward. |
