Market Segmentation

The global automotive printed circuit board (PCB) market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by fuel type into internal combustion engines (ICEs), electric, and hybrid. Out of these types of segments, the electric segment is estimated to gain the largest market share over the projected time frame. The growth of the segment can be attributed to the growing sales and production volume of electric cars worldwide and money invested in PCBs as they play an important role in electric vehicles. Electrical vehicles are highly advanced and use electricity to perform all the requisite tasks, which boosts the demand for PCBs. For instance, it was discovered that the sales of electric vehicles doubled globally in 2021, reaching approximately 7 billion units.

The global automotive printed circuit board (PCB) market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into single-sided, double-sided, and multi-layer PCB. Amongst these segments, the multi-layer PCB segment is expected to garner a significant share. Multi-layer PCBs are 50 layers thicker than other types of PCBs and provide dual transmission. Such features of multi-layer PCBs make them quite suitable to handle a wide range of complicated electrical tasks. Multi-layer PCBs has around 10 to 48 conducting layers, which makes them nearly 1.5 mm thick. Automotive industry now relies on the use of electrical component with the launch of electric cars in the market. Since every feature such as headlights, GPS, interior screens, and others are completely controlled by electronics, therefore, automobile manufacturers prefer multi-layer PCBs.
