The 5G PCB market will grow from USD 9.572 billion in 2025 to USD 14.162 billion in 2030 at a CAGR of 8.15%.
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) through conductive pathways provide mechanical support to electronics equipment, owing to which they form an integral part of the equipment. The growing transition from 4G to 5G has established a new framework associated with the design and material usage in PCBs to improve overall performance. In comparison to its predecessor, the 5G network features a quick response rate and wider network coverage, which is driving its applicability in major sectors such as telecommunication, consumer electronics, automotive, and industrial, among others.
Major economies, namely China, the United States, and Japan, are experiencing a significant boom in consumer electronics demand and consumption, which has bolstered the overall manufacturing output of these nations. For instance, according to the National Bureau of Statistics, in November 2023, the production output of China’s communication equipment, computers, and other electronics experienced a 10.6% growth over the previous year.
Technological advancement has paved the way to solve industrial complexities, and with the constant boom in 5G product demand, investments are being made in smart manufacturing. Hence, governments as well as various private companies are initiating strategies to bolster industrial automation, which has propelled the scope of 5G smart factories in major economies.
For instance, in May 2024, Ericsson announced additional funding of US$50 that would be used in the expansion of its 5G smart factory situated in Texas. The expansion would enable the company to address the growing demand for 5G infrastructure in the USA.
Likewise, in October 2023, VVDN Technologies, in collaboration with Telit Cinterion and the Union Minister of Railways, Communication, Electronics, Information & Technology, established a dedicated SMT line for manufacturing 5G connectivity modules. The new establishment will cater to the growing 5G demand for high-tech products.
Based on end-users, the 5G PCBs market is divided into automotive, telecommunication, consumer electronics, industrial, and others. Telecommunication and consumer electronics are anticipated to hold a significant market share, fueled by the favorable investment in the commercialization of private 5Gs. Moreover, the boom in modern technological options usage is further driving the demand for wireless communication networks, thereby positively impacting the PCB's demand for 5G applications in such sectors.
Hence, companies are investing in new facility establishments, MOUs, strategic partnerships, and mergers to improve their product offerings, which is acting as an additional driving factor. For instance,
5G PCB market, based on geography, consists of major countries, namely the United States, China, Japan, South Korea, and Germany, among others. The mentioned countries are experiencing significant growth in their 5G transition, backed by favorable government investments and policies. Moreover, product launches and the ongoing “Industry 4.0,” which aims to bolster industrial automation, are acting as additional factors for regional market growth.
