According to the latest statistics from CINNO•ICResearch, total investment in China’s PCB industry reached approximately 105.3 billion yuan in 2025, up 2.9% YoY from 2024. Although the number of investment projects in China’s PCB industry pulled back in 2025 compared with 2024, investment size per project increased significantly, with the largest single investment also rising accordingly. The investment landscape became more concentrated in the high-end segment, with an optimized structure. PCBs dedicated to AI computing power became the clear main theme, with key investment flowing into high-end products such as advanced HDI, high-layer-count boards, and high-speed, high-frequency boards; automotive electronics PCBs followed closely behind and posted strong growth, benefiting from upgrades in NEVs and intelligent driving; communications and industrial control PCBs provided steady support for 5G and data center construction. Overall, the industry moved away from the low and mid-end fragmented layout of 2024 and officially entered a new stage led by the high-end segment.
