Japan's PCB output fell for ten consecutive months

According to statistics released by the Japan Electronic Circuit Industry Association (JPCA) on the 12th, in June 2011, the output of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in Japan fell by 15.6% compared to the same month of last year to 1.417 million square meters, which has declined for the 10th consecutive month. The output was also reduced by 17.2% year-on-year to 51.578 billion yen, the first consecutive month of recession. So far this year (Jan-June), Japan’s PCB production has dropped by 10.7% from the same period last year to 8.338 million square meters, and output has also dropped by 13.5% to 313.547 billion yen.

In June, Rigid PCB production decreased by 13.5% year-on-year to 952,000 square meters, and output decreased by 16.9% year-on-year to 33.313 billion yen, both for the 9th consecutive month. Flexible PCB production decreased by 6.0% to 359,000 square meters for the first time in three months. Output also decreased by 17.0% year-on-year to 6.365 billion yen, and fell for the fifth consecutive month.

The single-panel output and output decreased by 2.3% year-on-year, year-on-year by 0.4% to 171,000 square meters, and 963 million yen. The output and output of double-sided panels decreased by 13.2% annually and 8.6% year-on-year to 400,000 square meters. 7.752 billion yen; Multi-layered panels (4 layers) decreased 13.0% year-on-year, 17.7% year-on-year to 17.4 million square meters, 5.029 billion yen; Multi-layer panels (6-8 floors) decreased by 23.7% year-on-year, year-on-year 18.7 million yen. % to 87,000 m2, 7.005 billion yen; multi-layer board (up to 10 floors) increased 6.3% year-on-year, year-on-year decrease 0.2% to 17,000 square meters, 2.759 billion yen; build-up PCB The year-on-year decrease of 23.1%, year-on-year decrease of 25.1% to 103,000 square meters and 10.105 billion yen respectively.

The output and output of single-sided panels increased by 12.6% year-on-year, 13.1% year-on-year to 116,000 square meters, and 1.496 billion yen respectively; double-sided/multi-layer boards decreased by 12.9% annually, 18.2% year-on-year to 243,000 square meters. 4.869 billion yen.
