Taiwan - Nan Ya PCB (NPC) has forecast a decline of 15-20% in sales for the first quarter, amid weak demand for PCBs and PBGA substrates. The forecasted decline was greater than the previously estimated 5-10% drop reported by the company a week ago, industry sources claimed.

 The company's conventional PCBs, used by Apple iPods and Sony PlayStation 3 game consoles, are being affected by a slow consumer market. Its PBGA substrate orders are also down due to low demand from both handset and memory manufacturers, according to published reports.

The company has estimated that utilization of conventional PCBs and PBGA substrates will only be 70-75% in the first quarter.
