According to China Customs, China’s import and export value of PCB in 2007 equaled USD 20.37 billion, with USD 1.23 billion-valued trade deficit.
China’s PCB industry is experiencing a turning point. As of the first quarter in 2008, most of the PCB enterprises in China advanced their production value and output but achieved far lower profit.
It is anticipated that the decreasing profits and ascending raw material prices and internal domestic costs increase pressures will significantly impact the growth and sustainability in the region in the coming year.
