PALO ALTO, CA – The flex circuit market was worth some $7.3 billion in 2007 and will reach $16.4 billion in 2014, says research firm Frost & Sullivan.
Innovative demands from
various end-user verticals including telecommunications, automotive, aerospace
and defense, medical, and industrial packaging expect to fuel robust growth in
the flexible printed circuit board market. The compliant nature of flex
circuits makes it useful in dynamic motion products, and its development
dramatically alter the landscape of the PCB market. Flex has also become the
technology of choice for advance packaging, which includes both multichip and
3-D, says Frost.
