Market Overview

The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) market describes the sector involved in the design, production, and distribution of rigid or flexible boards that provide physical support and electrical connections for electronic devices through conductive pathways, tracks, or signal traces. The PCB market includes the materials, fabrication technologies, assembly services, and new PCB technologies that enhance the performance of these electronic devices and systems to achieve high density, high speed, and miniature performance. The Japan printed circuit board (PCB) market is set to achieve sustainable growth due to the increased electronic content in autos, 5G infrastructure rollout, and data center growth. Additionally, the Japanese government's support for the domestic semiconductor ecosystem, evidenced by METI revitalizing semiconductor support programs and significant subsidies for major projects such as TSMC and Rapidus, will contribute to a step increase in Japan's existing chip and advanced packaging capability and indirectly impact demand for high-performance PCBs. Innovation is directed at applications such as HDI, rigid flex, and high frequency for reduced size and high-speed capabilities. Opportunities will emerge around electric vehicle (EV)/advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) platforms and telecom equipment through locally sourced substrates. Recent developments around the announcement of a major semiconductor subsidy in 2024 reinforce Japan's long-term electronics manufacturing ecosystem.

Driving Factors

The printed circuit board market in Japan is driven by increasing demand for sophisticated automotive electronics, specifically EV and ADAS systems that need multilayer PCBs with high reliability. The quick rollout of 5G service and upgrades to telecom infrastructure are moving HDI and high-frequency board adoption forward significantly. The need for server and connection PCBs is driven by the construction of infrastructure, such as data centers. Local sourcing and purchasing are nevertheless encouraged by ongoing investments in domestic semiconductors and sophisticated packaging capabilities. Lastly, more rigid-flex and flexible PCBs are being employed as a result of ongoing downsizing developments in consumer electronics.

Restraining Factors

The printed circuit board market in Japan is mostly constrained by high production costs and a limited supply of raw materials. Aside from raw materials and substrate independence, manufacturers are faced with continuous global competition, quickening technology cycles, and an increasing need to comply with environmental legislation, all of which put manufacturers under pressure, specifically small and mid-sized companies.
