The article deals with global trends in the manufacture of printed circuit boards. An attempt to predict the development of long-term production of PP in Russia, taking into account the peculiarities of the domestic market. Recently domestic electronics manufacturers are concerned with the manufacture of the world situation of printed circuit boards (PCB) in South-East Asia (SEA) and, naturally, to Russian producers. Let us turn to data on global manufacture of printed circuit boards taken from reports submitted by the European Association of printed circuit boards EIPC, published in the magazine? CircuiTree? Articles and Dr. Hayao Nakahara (NT Infor? Mation).

Demand for printed circuit boards in the world continues to grow, and by the end of 2005 promises to be a 9% higher than in 2004 In I half of 2005 there was a slight lag from production in 2004. In the II half of the year there was a significant increase in orders, which can be characterized by increasing global sales of electronic components (an increase of 9% of the planned amount). A total value of orders in 2005 approximately 80% of multi-layer PCB. Orders bilateral PP is about 12.5%, and barely reach half the volume of orders in 2004 One-sided PCB occupy a small fraction – 7.5%, and experts predict that over the next few years, it will remain stable (2006 – approximately 8%). The greatest growth can be noted in the production of flexible printed circuit boards. In 2005, volume of production increased by 68% compared to last year.
