China's PCB industry is expected to achieve a growth rate of more than 10% in 2010 In the second quarter of 2009, it began to stop falling and rebound, and generally recovered to the same period of the previous year in the third quarter. The trend of progress is more obvious. Various PCBs, including flexible board, rigid flexible composite board, multilayer board, microporous board, thick copper board, low loss high-performance board and ceramic board, have grown considerably.

It is expected that the market will increase by more than 10% in 2010, and the development speed of China's integrated circuit market will remain above 10% in the next three years. In terms of different fields, with the continuous promotion of 3G technology, smart phones, as their application terminals, are bound to meet huge market demand; At the same time, low-cost netbooks have also sprung up, making it possible for notebook computer products to quickly penetrate the middle and low-end application market. However, the release of the market potential of smart phones and netbooks mainly depends on the promotion speed of 3G, or the process of 3G tariff reduction. WiMAX began to become a popular technology, and the market demand for 60GHz PCB grew rapidly.     

On the other hand, in this economic crisis, China's automobile industry is a unique one in the world. In the case of the poor operation of the European and American automobile market, China has continued to maintain growth and accelerated its overseas expansion, thus driving the development of the automotive electronics industry. At present, electronic technology has been widely used in automobiles. Electronic technology products are adopted without exception in engine system, chassis system, control system, safety system, information system, interior environment system, etc. Some analysts predict that the global automotive electronic PCB market will exceed 5billion US dollars by 2012, and will continue to put forward higher requirements in order to increase the functions of automobiles in the future.
