Market Overview:
The global Rigid Flex Circuit Board market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for Rigid Flex Circuit Boards from various end-use industries, such as military weaponry, aerospace industries, consumer electronics and others. Additionally, the growing demand for miniaturization and lightweighting of electronic devices is also contributing to the growth of this market. Based on type, two-layer rigid-flex circuit boards are expected to account for a major share of the global Rigid Flex Circuit Board market during the forecast period. This can be attributed to their low cost and easy fabrication process as compared with multi-layer rigid-flex circuit boards.
Product Definition:
A rigid flex PCB is a printed circuit board with flexible and rigid portions bonded together. The flexible portion allows the board to be bent, while the rigid portions hold the shape and keep the conductors in place. Rigid flex PCBs are used when there is a need for both flexibility and rigidity, such as in portable electronics or medical devices.
Two-Layer Rigid-Flex Circuit:
The two-layer rigid-flex circuit is a new type of PCB design that was introduced by JEDEC Solid State Technology Association in August 2012. The main objective of this technology is to provide high flexibility and thinness to electronics, without compromising on the mechanical integrity or electrical performance.
Multi-Layer Rigid-Flex Circuit:
Multi-layer rigid-flex circuit is a new type of printed circuit board (PCB) which consists of more than one PCB laminates. The main function of multi-layer rigid-flex circuit is to protect the sensitive components and wires from mechanical or thermal stress in normal operation as well as during transportation and storage. Multi layer rigid flex circuits are used for various applications such as mobile phones, computers, printers, copiers, industrial control systems & medical equipment among others.
Application Insights:
Aerospace industries accounted for the largest share in 2015 owing to the high demand from defense aircraft. The use of rigid-flex circuit boards has been gaining popularity in military weaponries on account of their compactness and enhanced heat resistance properties. These boards are used as replacements for traditional microcontroller units that control various functions such as fire control, ammunition feeding, and targeting systems in a weapon system.
The consumer electronics segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing demand from smartphones, wearable devices, and gaming consoles among others. Other applications include medical equipment & machinery along with industrial robots where rigid-flex circuit boards are used as substitutes for traditional programmable logic controllers (PLC).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region over the forecast period. The growth can be attributed to increasing military expenditure and rising consumer electronics production in China, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and India. Moreover, growing industrialization coupled with government initiatives such as “Make in India†are expected to drive product demand further. In addition, rapid urbanization has resulted in an increased number of construction activities across emerging economies of Asia Pacific which will fuel product demand further.
The North America rigid flex circuit board market was dominated by U.S.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for miniaturization in electronic devices
- Rising demand from the automotive industry
- Growing popularity of wearable electronics
- Proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices
- Development of advanced materials and manufacturing processes
