Top Impacting Factors
Miniaturization of size and lower weight
HDI PCBs enable accommodation of more components on either side of the PCB, which increases its functionality and maximizes the abilities of the products or equipment in which it is incorporated. In addition to the high functionality of the HDI boards, the size and weight of the products are also reduced as compared to the traditional PCBs. These boards are heavily utilized in communication devices such as smartphones and tablets, as these products are small and require high functionality in limited space. Moreover, rising need of better power performance of consumer electronic devices and larger color display demands larger battery space reducing the space for PCBs in these devices, thereby driving the growth of the global HDI PCB market.
High efficiency
The HDI PCBs utilize minimum materials and boards for its composition and also increase the efficiency of HDI boards as compared to conventional PCBs. In addition, the time required for the construction of these boards is less that helps faster production. Such functionalities of HDI boards increases the performance of the devices in which it is incorporated. All these factors are expected to drive the growth of the global HDI PCB market.
Growing sales of consumer electronics
The growing sales of consumer electronics and a substantial rise in the demand for HDI PCBs in these applications are driving the growth of the global HDI PCB market. Therefore, the consumer electronics industry is becoming one of the important end-user markets for high-density technology. Currently, application of these boards in consumer electronic devices such as smartphones, smart wearables, gaming consoles, tablets, and others are significant. Thereby with increasing demand and production of these devices, the global HDI PCB market is projected to grow in the forecast period.
High construction cost
The manufacturing of HDI PCBs requires special methods such as laser direct imaging (LDI). This method is used in the fabrication process as HDI requires the construction of fine lines on the boards. In addition to the fine lines, implementation of tighter spacing of the components makes LDI a necessary element in this process. As the expense of the overall LDI equipment and machinery costs are significantly higher it makes the construction of HDI PCBs expensive. Moreover, the individual operating or handling the construction of the HDIs needs sufficient knowledge and intense training to handle the complete manufacturing process. These factors increase the cost of HDI PCBs, which in turn restrains the growth of the global market.
Increase in utilization of HDI technology in automobiles
The factors such as rising trend toward sophisticated safety systems, autonomous driving, and miniaturization of electronic devices in the automobile sector are expected to boost the growth of the global HDI PCB market in the near future. In addition, with the advent of autonomous driving, connected cars, and 5G, the global HDI PCB market is expected to propel during the forecast period. Moreover, the number of applications in the automotive industry such as advanced driver assistance systems, GPS navigation, and infotainment utilize high-density boards providing lucrative growth opportunities for the global market.
