The PCB product structure is upgraded iteratively, and the equipment demand increases exponentially. With the rapid development of the terminal electronic information industry chain, the demand for high value-added PCB industry continues to rise, and the proportion of medium and high-end products is expected to increase from 22.1% in 2000 to 52.48% in 2025. The demand for medium and high-end products such as HDI board, IC carrier board and flexible board representing higher technical content is increasing day by day. Taking drilling equipment as an example, it is estimated that under the same output, the input of drilling equipment in HDI production line is 2.16 times and 5.60 times that of high multi-layer board and low multi-layer board respectively. The demand for PCB special equipment represented by drilling equipment shows a geometric growth trend.

Complete product matrix and continuously expand product layout horizontally. After years of development, the company’s products have covered four processes: drilling, exposure, molding and testing. With competitive product matrix and rich sales experience, the company has accumulated rich customer resources. The company’s products have complete processes. At present, it has covered various processes of many leading PCB manufacturers in the world. The synergy also promotes the company to maintain a low level in the cost of developing and maintaining customers. In the future, the company will continue to horizontally extend the existing product line, introduce AOI testing equipment in the testing process, add laminating equipment in the laminating process, and continue to improve the layout of relevant equipment in the physical process.

Extend product application and continue to expand product application fields vertically. At present, multilayer board still occupies the main share in the application field of the company’s products. In the next few years, HDI board and IC packaging substrate will be the PCB products with the fastest composite growth rate, with CAGR of 6.7% and 9.7% respectively. On the basis of deep cultivation of the leading advantages of multilayer boards, the company will vertically extend its products in the application fields of HDI, FPC and IC packaging substrates, and is optimistic about the sustainable growth potential of the company in the future.
