V. Analysis of the High-end Screen Printer Market
People often say “opportunity†and “challenge†when they talk about a market with huge demand or good prospects. What is the high-end screen printing machine market in the screen printing industry? How are the prospects? Where are the opportunities and challenges? The author is willing to talk about his superficial understanding here, in order to obtain the results of introductory.
In the 20 years of reform and opening up, China’s national economy has continued to grow at a rapid rate; especially in high-tech fields, it attracts almost all famous foreign companies in the world’s top 500 companies to invest in China, set up factories, and set up R&D centers; China has become a symbol In fact, the "world factory." Now, let's take a look at the developments in the electronics and microelectronics fields related to high-end screen printers. Perhaps from this information, we can get a glimpse of the pulse of modern electronic screen printing technology.
1. China's electronics industry ranks second in the world in 2004
According to information from the Ministry of Information Industry, China’s electronic information industry completed sales of 1.08 trillion yuan in the first six months of 2004, a year-on-year increase of 44.5%; if no accident occurred, it is estimated that the annual sales of the industry will reach 2.37 trillion yuan. Increased 26% year-on-year. The scale of the industry has surpassed that of Japan, ranking second in the world after the United States, and has become China's largest pillar industry.
In the author's hands, there is a statistical report on the output of major electronic machines in China in 2003.
In the production of the above six kinds of electronic machine products, there is no one to leave the screen printing technology, while in the microelectronic packaging technology, in the thick film circuit manufacturing technology, in the SMT application technology, the high-end micro-level network The demand for printing presses is even more essential.
2. Printed circuit production scale in 2003 ranked second in the world
If the integrated circuit (IC) is a first-level package, a variety of electronic products such as mobile phones, computers, televisions, cameras, etc. are three-level packaging, then the printed circuit board is a secondary package, which plays a role in the industrial chain. Inherit and inspire the vital role.
At present, the electronic information industry has become China's national economy's first pillar industry, so that printed circuit boards that play a role in this industry are increasingly valued. In 2003, there were two major breakthroughs in China's printed circuits: First, sales revenue exceeded US$6 billion, becoming the world’s second largest producer of printed circuits; second, total imports and exports exceeded US$6 billion, but the deficit was more than US$1.25 billion. The main reason is the high level of imports of HDI (High Density Interconnect printed circuit boards) and flexible boards. It also shows that China's printed circuit board market is larger than US$7.5 billion.
In 2003, the total output value of China's printed circuit board industry reached RMB50.069 billion, an increase of 32.41% compared with 2002, of which the single-board and double-board growth rates were 10.01% and 8.00%, respectively, while the high-tech multi-layered The growth rate of boards (including HDI boards) is 35.00%, and the growth rate of flexible boards is 69.99%.
It can be seen that the structure of China's printed circuit boards is gradually evolving from the low-end to the high-end, and with the development of printed circuit board companies all over the world in China and the development of China's domestic printed circuit board companies, China is bound to become One of the largest manufacturing centers and technology R&D centers in the world.
With the popularity of digital products, the annual growth rate of flexible panels reached 69.99%, becoming another market focus.
With the development of the automotive industry, automotive electronics will further drive the rapid development of HDI flexible boards.
â— China's printed circuit board industry development goals
It is expected that from 2006 to 2010, the output of printed circuit boards and copper clad foils in China will rank first in the world, and the technological level will be close to the world's advanced level.
â— China printed circuit board industry specific goals
From 2007 to 2008, China's printed circuit output will exceed Japan, ranking first in the world, and it is estimated that it will account for more than 25% of the world's total output.
In 2010, China not only became the largest producer of printed circuits in the world, but also its technological level was close to the world's advanced level.
â— In 2010 China's printed circuit industry technology will be close to the world's advanced level.
Single-panel carbon paste plates, silver paste through-hole plates, especially copper paste through-hole plate production proportion is increasing. Multilayer boards will be divided into three categories according to conventional multilayer boards, HDI boards, package substrates, and special boards.
The HDI board is a high density, thin line, small aperture, ultra-thin type printed board. A large number of applications in mobile phones and computers and other electronic products. Its line width / line spacing <0.1mm/0.1mm, aperture <0.15mm. It is estimated that in 2010, HDI boards and package substrates will account for more than 1/2 of the total number of multi-layer boards and total output.
The package substrate is applied to the printed circuit board of the bare core plate CSP and the flip chip package plate FP. The area is generally larger than 100mm×100mm, and the line width/line spacing is <0.075mm/0.075mm, which will become the printed circuit board in China. Another prominent force.
The special printed circuit board mainly refers to the printed circuit board for high-frequency microwaves, and the self-developed metal core board, copper foil thickness, or printed circuit board whose plating thickness is greater than 100 micrometers will be gradually realized.
Flexible boards (also called flexible boards or soft boards), due to the rapid expansion of the application range, will be applied to connectors, HDI, and package substrates and will develop rapidly. They should be based on single-sided flexible boards and double-sided flexible boards, respectively. Multi-layer flexible boards, HDI flexible boards, and rigid-flex boards (that is, printed circuit boards combining rigid and flexible boards) are counted, and multilayer flexible boards will dominate the flexible board. The output of flexible board production should account for more than 20% of the total printed circuit board.
Under the current situation that China's printed circuit board market is already larger than RMB 60 billion, screen printing technology plays an important role in it, especially in the future, with the rapid development of HDI printed circuit boards and flexible printing. In the manufacturing technology of circuit boards and package substrates, the demand for high-end screen printing machines will be self-evident.
