WECC Global PCB Production Report for 2017 ABOUT THE WECC GLOBAL PCB STATISTICAL PROGRAM Development Team The World Electronic Circuits Council (WECC) is a strategic partnership formed in 1998 by the major industry associations serving member companies in the global electronic circuits industry. Its purpose is to increase the global influence and effectiveness of its member organizations for the benefit and improvement of the industry. The member associations cooperate on standards, market research, marketing, resource development, environmental issues, world trade, and economic and political affairs. The member organizations of WECC formed a working group in 2005 to pool their statistical resources and produce a global statistical report on printed circuit board (PCB) production for the benefit of their members. This group became the WECC Statistics and Market Committee. The following associations and their representatives contributed to this report and are active members of the WECC Statistics and Market Committee: CPCA Kevin Yan, Vice President, China Printed Circuit Association, kevin_yyh@cpca.org.cn EIPC Kirsten Smit-Westenberg, Executive Director, European Institute of Printed Circuits, KWestenberg@eipc.org ELCINA Anil Kumar Muniswamy, Executive Committee, Electronic Industries Association of India, anil@slntech.com HKPCA Manda Wong, Administration Officer, Hong Kong Printed Circuit Association, mandawong@hkpca.org IPC Sharon Starr, Director of Market Research, IPC, sharonstarr@ipc.org, (committee chair) JPCA Noriaki Wakakuri, Section Chief, Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association, wakakuri@jpca.org JPCA Nanako Okabe, Associate Leader, Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association, okabe@jpca.org JPCA Kunio Takahara, Deputy General Manager, Japan Electronics Packaging and Circuits Association, takahara@jpca.org KPCA Minsu Lee, Deputy Secretary General, Korea Printed Circuit Association, mslee@kpca.or.kr TPCA Michelle Hung, Deputy Secretary General, Taiwan Printed Circuit Association, michelle@tpca.org.tw Please contact a representative at your association with any questions about the report or suggestions for improving this program. Availability The WECC Global PCB Production Reports are available only from these participating associations to their members. The reports are not available for sale. 1
Methodology The WECC Global PCB Production Report includes estimates of PCB production by country or region based on the data collected by the WECC organizations from their member PCB companies. The estimates in these reports may differ from estimates published by other organizations due to differences in methodology and sources. No source of data on worldwide PCB production can claim to be 100 percent accurate. There are only estimates based on data collected from representative samples of the companies in the industry. WECC has published its Global PCB Production Reports since 2005. The reports are published annually. The data are collected by the associations and reported here in local currencies so that real growth rates can be shown. For the sake of comparability, all of the estimates are also reported in U.S. dollars. These nominal values are not adjusted for inflation or for fluctuations in exchange rates. Real growth rates are used in most cases to factor out the effect of currency fluctuations. A table of average exchange rates for the period is included as an appendix to this report. Confidentiality Policy It is the WECC organizations policy never to share any company-specific information with other associations (including the other WECC members) or with their member companies. Only aggregate data are shared for the compilation of this report. In this way, the WECC associations maintain complete confidentiality for all of their member companies. Definitions PCB production attributed to a country or region reflects the value of the PCBs produced there, regardless of where the companies are headquartered, and should not be confused with the PCB market (i.e., where PCBs are sold). Many flexible circuit producers also offer assembly and other value-added services. Because these producers sell assembled or partially assembled boards, it can be difficult for them to separate the value of the bare circuits from total sales. Although the contributors to this report have endeavored to subtract estimated assembly and component value from their flexible circuit data, the flexible circuit production estimates in this report might include some assembly revenue. 2
2016 PCB PRODUCTION VALUE The member associations collected production data from companies producing PCBs in their countries or regions. Every effort was made to eliminate duplication between the associations survey samples. The countries and regions included in this analysis produce virtually all of the world s PCBs, based on value.

INDUSTRY GROWTH Real Growth by Country/Region Based on a comparison of the 2015 and 2016 estimates from the WECC PCB production surveys in local currencies, worldwide PCB production increased 2.6 percent in 2016. The Middle East and Africa posted the highest growth in PCB production in real terms. It should be noted that the adoption of new sources or methods of data collection by the contributing associations may affect these growth rates. 5
Nominal Growth by Product Category PCB production growth was positive in 2016 only for HDI/microvia boards and flexible circuits. These growth rates are based on nominal data, which are not adjusted to eliminate the effects of exchange rate changes. 6
