Flexible Printed Circuit Boards Market to Reach Around USD 26.8 Billion by 2025

The global flexible printed circuit boards market size is projected to reach USD 26.8 billion by 2025, expanding at a CAGR of 11.2% over the forecast period, according to a study published by Grand View Research, Inc. Growing demand for compact and flexible electronic devices is the major factor driving demand for flexible Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) worldwide. Regulated demand from the IT and telecom sector in view of growing need for circuits with higher data processing speed and higher working temperature is further augmenting the growth.

Flexible printed circuit boards (FPCBs) are thin and lightweight and can save up to 60% of the space and weight in comparison to rigid printed circuit boards. In addition, benefits offered in terms of durability and cost has further augmented their adoption across different end use industries. Demand for miniature, flexible electronics in automotive industry for use in advanced navigation displays and other automotive electronics has had positive impact on the demand.

Flexible PCBs are also used in medical equipment and health monitoring devices, such as pacemakers, defibrillators, neuro-stimulation, modulation devices, and external hearing devices. Benefits offered in terms of packaging flexibility and performance are expected to augment adoption of flexible printed circuit boards across multiple industry verticals. Companies are emphasizing on attaining advances in the fabrication technology and material substrates used to manufacture flexible PCBs. Various manufacturers offer tailored and/or dedicated flexible printed circuit boards as per the specifications led by the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

The adoption of flexible printed circuit boards has surged over the last few years on account of growing awareness among OEMs regarding the superior benefits offered by flexible PCBs, in terms of weight, circuit complexity (elimination of mechanical connectors), wiring errors, and operating temperature range among others.
