At present, 5g is hot. With the arrival of 5g era, PCB, as the mother of electronic industry and the carrier of all components, occupies the largest proportion in this chain and benefits most from PCB industry.

5g development is inseparable from the construction of large-scale data center, which is bound to increase the number of servers. The development of servers is inseparable from PCB. Due to the huge traffic carried by the data center and the high requirements for transmission speed, the requirements for the number of layers and materials of PCB will also be higher and higher. In this case, the demand for high-end communication board will be greatly increased.

With the continuous progress of 5g construction, due to the characteristics of 5g high speed and high frequency, the value of communication board will be greatly improved for a single base station, and the demand of 5g base station construction for communication board will be further promoted. First of all, the number of 5g base stations is much more than the current 4G base stations, especially a certain number of micro base stations will be covered in the blind spot area, which undoubtedly drives the demand for communication PCB. Secondly, due to the increase of 5g channels, the area and number of layers of single PCB are required to be higher. The area is increased from 15cm to 35cm, and the number of layers is also upgraded from double-sided board to about 12. In addition, the value of 5g base station is much higher than that of 4G base station. The unit price of high-speed and high-frequency board used by 5g base station is 5000 yuan / m2, while that of 4G base station is only 2000 yuan / m2. It can be seen that the PCB value of 5g base station is 2.5 times that of 4G base station, so the value of communication board has been greatly improved.

According to prismark's forecast, the compound growth rate of PCB industry will reach 3% from 2016 to 2020, that is, the output value will approach 60 billion US dollars in 2020. In the current environment of rapid development of cloud computing and 5g, PCB as an important basic force in the whole electronic industry chain, the changing environment is driving the new direction of PCB demand growth. Therefore, PCB manufacturers should continue to invest resources in PCB engineering research and development, actively practice intelligent production management, steadily improve the level of production automation, and achieve a strong strength to provide a full range of PCB products and services for different customers.

In a word, the development direction of PCB is: high-rise, high conductivity, high frequency, heat resistance and so on
