PCB industry has developed for many years, but in recent years, the follow-up growth is weak, not optimistic. It is reported that more than 10% of PCB enterprises disappear in China every year. This situation is closely related to the changes in industrial structure brought by the development of The Times. Only change, PCB industry can survive in the reality of fierce competition.

As we all know, PCB is a labor-intensive industry with high pollution, high energy consumption, high investment. In the transition period, enterprises are faced with many problems. In terms of environmental protection, due to the continuous improvement of national requirements for environmental protection in recent years, the policy is more and more strict, so that the pressure of environmental protection of enterprises is increasing day by day; In terms of cost, we not only have to face the continuous rise of international raw material prices in the context of high inflation, but also face the sharp rise of workers’ wage costs brought by the implementation of the new labor law. In addition to the appreciation of the RMB, the rise of low-cost manufacturing in Southeast Asian countries and many other external factors, many low-end MANUFACTURERS in the PCB industry even at the moment of survival.

Many enterprises adopt a variety of cost control methods, nothing more than to reduce wages, save raw material money, but these cost savings and expenses are very limited, cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Some enterprises may also lack investment in r&d and marketing, resulting in unbalanced development and loss of core competitiveness. Although there are also some enterprises considering the cost problem, began to move to the central and western regions to reduce labor costs, but in fact, it has increased other design, RESEARCH and development, logistics costs, in the long run, is not cost-effective.

The popularization of information technology and software application has promoted the development of various industries. The emergence of “Internet +” thinking has overturned the industrial structure of some industries and expanded people’s horizons. This thinking was first introduced into the service industry and then extended to industrial production. Of course, this thinking also brought a wisp of spring breeze for PCB industry.

Although there are still many PCB enterprises that believe in the traditional PCB design, production, sales, operation and management mode, and still have many doubts about the Internet, so they are in a wait-and-see state. However, some enterprises have taken the lead in testing the water, combining PCB with the Internet, and creating a new PCB cloud platform in product design.In the engineering operation, realize the whole process automation of Internet management; In sales and management, Internet thinking as the leading. Of course, some of them also gained from the sweetener, the achievement is remarkable.
