The popularity of smartphones and tablets, and the trend towards light, thin, short, and versatile design of electronic products have made circuit wiring miniaturization an inevitable trend. These will drive the growth of the IC carrier board market, and will also increase the demand for high-end drill pins, which in turn will drive drilling. Needle annual growth rate. Prismark estimates that the global IC carrier board's compound growth rate from 2010 to 2015 was 5.8%, and the annual growth rate of drill demand should be about 10%.
Due to the continuous introduction of thin, light and short products in the market, the high-function, high-speed and other double-height era has been developed, and the trend of high-frequency, high-speed, and multi-IO chips has been developed. Therefore, printed circuit board (PCB) design must move toward high hole density and fine line width 1. The direction of high load-bearing components changes, so the drilling quality requirements are more rigorous. In addition, products such as chipsets, memory or mobile phones are the largest application blocks of high-end package carriers. The main trend is that the volume is getting smaller and smaller, and the number of particles used is also increasing compared to the past, which will drive drilling The hole diameter extends downward, as well as increasing the demand for drill bits.
Benefited from high-end new product applications such as tablet computers, smart phones, LED TVs, etc. in 2011 and 2012, due to the design requirements of the products that are light, thin and short, the number of carrier boards used has increased and the number of layers has increased. Accelerating the replacement of wire-bonded carrier boards (WB) to become mainstream, these will drive the growth of the IC carrier board market and will also increase the demand for high-end drill pins.
The above-mentioned trends have resulted in the miniaturization of circuit wiring, which has boosted the strength of drill bit growth. The annual growth rate of demand for drill pins is approximately equal to the annual growth rate of the PCB and IC carrier market itself, and the growth rate of wiring density. According to Prismark's estimate, the compound growth rate of global IC carrier boards from 2010 to 2015 is 5.8%. Multiplying the growth rate of wiring density, it is estimated that the annual growth rate of drill demand should be about 10%.
In terms of supply, the top three largest drill makers in the world accounted for more than 70% at the end of 2010, with a total monthly production capacity of approximately 75 million. Except for the sharp increase of the monthly production capacity of 3 million by the Taiwanese plant through the improvement of process efficiency Manufacturers are carrying out large-scale production expansion. As the market demand returns to growth, it will help the supply and demand balance of the drill bit market.
In the early days, global drill bit factories were dominated by Japan and Europe. In recent years, with the continuous innovation of terminal electronic products, international electronic information manufacturers have faced high price competition pressure, and the production center has gradually shifted to Asia. The indispensable materials of the chain have also undergone some changes in the competitive situation. = The drill tool factory Youneng Tools still has the highest market share in the world; European manufacturers have gradually decreased their market share due to cost and technological development factors; Taiwanese manufacturers have replaced it, and the current market share continues to grow.
In the second half of 2010, the global PCB factory demanded about 83 million drill pins in a single month, and the sharp monthly shipments were about 18 million. The company's total shipments in 2010 were 198 million, an increase of 43 from 2010. %, The global market share has increased from 20% in 2009 to 22%, making it the second largest drill factory in the world, second only to the Japanese drill manufacturer Union Tool.
