Could PCB Shipments Peak in Q4?

Published: 05 October 2009

TAIPEI --PCB shipments could reach their highest levels during the fourth quarter. Handset makers are reporting increased demand as first-tier vendors launch new products, says DigiTimes.

Compeq Manufacturing forecast third-quarter shipments to rise 5% to 10% and continue through the fourth quarter, reports DigiTimes.

Unimicron Technology and Unitech Printed Circuit Board expect mid-range and high-end handset products to positively influence their shipments.

Notebook shipments have been strong for HannStar Board and Gold Circuit Electronics. Shipments are expected to peak during the final quarter, says DigiTimes.

Tripod Technology forecasts fourth-quarter notebook shipments to fall and handset shipments to remain flat as holiday demand begins to slow down. Despite the drops, orders for optoelectronics PCBs have increased since the second quarter. The company expects orders to remain strong into the fourth quarter.
