The continuous growth of mobile phone production is driving the demand for HDI boards. China plays an important role in the world's mobile phone manufacturing industry. Since Motorola fully adopted HDI boards to manufacture mobile phones in 2002, more than 90% of mobile phone motherboards have adopted HDI boards. A research report released by market research company In-Stat in 2006 predicted that in the next five years, global mobile phone production will continue to grow at a rate of about 15%. By 2011, global mobile phone sales will reach 2 billion units.
Domestic HDI board production capacity cannot meet the rapidly growing demand. In recent years, the global HDI mobile phone board production situation has undergone major changes: major European and American PCB manufacturers, in addition to the well-known mobile phone board manufacturers ASPOCOM and AT&S, still supply second-order HDI to Nokia In addition to mobile phone boards, most of the HDI production capacity has been transferred from Europe to Asia. Asia, especially China, has become the world's main supplier of HDI boards. According to Prismark's statistics, in 2006, China's mobile phone production accounted for about 35% of the world's total. It is estimated that by 2009, China's mobile phone production will reach 50% of the world's total, and the purchase of HDI mobile phone boards will reach 12.5 billion yuan. From the perspective of major manufacturers, the current production capacity of major domestic manufacturers is less than 2% of total global demand. Although some manufacturers have made investments to expand production, on the whole, the domestic HDI capacity growth still cannot meet the rapidly growing demand.
