At $47.6 billion, the PCB market grew 11.7% in nominal terms (not inflation-adjusted) and surpassed its year-2000 peak, according to the report.

The report:

Highlights world production of PCBs by the top-ten producing countries.
Provides special analysis on flexible printed circuits and general commentary on the worldwide PCB industry.
Reveals laminate market details by region.
Presents exchange rates and information on historical world rigid PCB production.

According to the report, PCB growth outpaced economic growth and the growth of most other industries due to the growing demand for electronic products.

In addition, Asia continued to grow to 81% of world PCB production while Europe and North America continued to lose some share, according to the report.

China outpaced most other countries in PCB production growth. Though slowing, China's growth is about twice the global rate of growth for PCB production, according to the report.
