Description
Global and China Flexible Printed Circuit Board (FPCB) Industry Report, 2012 includes the following contents:
- Profile of FPCB
- Overview of FPCB Market and Industry
- Analysis of 22 Major FPCB Manufacturers
- Analysis of Nine FCCL Companies
2012 is a bumper year for FPCB manufacturers, since FPCB is used in
almost all popular electronic products, especially tablet PC and smart
phone which have strongly promoted the FPCB market. The global FPCB
market scale reached USD 10,680 million in 2012, an increase of 15.2%
compared with 2011. FPCB achieved the strongest growth among all
electronic parts and components in 2012, and will maintain the strong
growth momentum in 2013. The global FPCB market scale is expected to
reach USD 11,628 million in 2013, up 8.9% compared with 2012.

Although the market conditions are good, not all manufacturers can
seize the opportunities. Fujikura suffered the most serious business
decline in 2012. Its FPCB business was heavily hit by the flood in
Thailand at the end of 2011, hasn’t recovered so far, and the revenue
declined significantly to only half of that in 2011. In 2013, Fujikura’s
FPCB business will recover slowly, but will be unlikely to regain
orders in a short period of time, so Fujikura will continue to have a
tough time in 2013.
Advancing triumphantly, industry leader NOK occupied the market
vacancy left by Fujikura, and for the first time its revenue exceeded
USD 3 billion in 2012, far beyond the second place.
ZDT of Hon Hai achieved substantial growth. With Apple as its major
customer, it grabbed more Apple orders from M-Flex in 2012, leading to
slight decline in the revenue of M-Flex. M-Flex is headquartered in
Singapore, listed in the United States, and has production bases in
China.
Benefiting from the popularity of Samsung smart phones, South
Korean FPCB manufacturers have delivered a good performance. Interflex
is not only a major supplier of Samsung, but a supplier of Apple. Taking
into account the competition with Samsung, Interflex’ orders from Apple
declined, but the orders from Samsung are enough for Interflex to
achieve good results.

Flexcom gets 70% of its revenue from Samsung, and its revenue
soared by 67.7% in 2012. SI Flex was dragged down by its big customer
LG.
Among Taiwanese manufacturers, Flexium is a supplier of Apple, and Career mainly supplies the mainland Chinese market.
Although there have been dozens of FPCB manufacturers in Mainland
China, their business scale is very small, the annual revenue is mostly
under RMB 200 million, and it’s difficult for them to obtain stable
orders. The overall market is very good, but mainland Chinese
manufacturers are unable to fully enjoy the benefits of market expansion
and achieve significant revenue growth.
Another phenomenon in 2012 is that some manufacturers that take
FPCB business as a non-core business began to withdraw from the
business. For example, SUMITOMO BAKELITE Co., Ltd.announced its
withdrawal from the FPCB business in Sep.2012; on October 1, 2012, Sony
Chemical & Information Device Corporation sold its chemicals
business to a Japanese government agency, and renamed Dexerials, with
60% and 40% of the shares held by Development Bank of Japan and Unison
Capital respectively. The main development direction of Dexerials will
be adhesive materials and optical materials. In addition, FPCB is also
not the core business of NITTO DENKO, and may be sold too.
