Copper Clad Laminate: Rigidity decreased, halogen-free increased significantly

[China Epoxy Network (China Epoxy Industry Online)July 10, 2009: Affected by the financial storm, epoxy resin printed circuit boards known as the mother of electronic products (PCB), of course, can't take care of it alone and suffer a considerable impact.
The world's epoxy resin circuit boards and copper clad laminates (CCL) and related fields are estimated to have a growth rate of -14.
2% in the electronics industry in 2009.
It is estimated that the global PCB output value in 2009 will drop by 16.
4% compared to 2008, second only to The 20.
1% decline in 2001 became the second largest decline in the past 20 years.
According to experts from the China Epoxy Industry Association ( the total value of the global rigid copper clad laminate market decreased by 4.
1%-according to market analysis in March 2009, the total output value of global PCB in 2008 was 48.
23 billion The US dollar, compared with 2007, the overall growth rate is 1.
1%.
Among them, flexible circuit boards increased by 4.
2%, multilayer boards and micro-porous boards had a slight increase, and other types of PCBs had negative growth.
In 2008, the total output value of flexible circuit boards was 7.
359 billion U.
S.
dollars, and the total output value of rigid circuit boards was 40.
871 billion U.
S.
dollars.
In 2008, the major global rigid copper clad laminate companies are shown in Table 2, and the output value and growth rate of various types of rigid copper clad laminates in 2008 are shown in Table 3.
The total value of the global rigid copper clad laminate market (including the output value of prepregs) was 8.
059 billion US dollars, compared with 2007 The total value of the global rigid copper clad laminate market was USD 8.
405 billion, down 4.
1%.
Halogen-free copper clad laminates increased by 13% in 2008 over 2007, special copper clad laminates and other copper clad laminates increased by 5.
6%, and the growth rates of other types of copper clad laminates were all negative.
Copper clad laminates have become an Asian industry.

    In 2008, the global rigid copper clad laminates were divided by output value, and the Americas were 416 million U.
