Japan PCB shipments up.
TOKYO -- October shipments of PWBs reached $822 million in Japan, up 15.1% sequentially, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said. Shipments totaled 2.28 million sq. meters, up 8.1%. The increase in volume was reportedly not due to any single product, with all markets segments experiencing
Flexible circuits were up 8.3% and module circuits were up 10.1%, however, volume from single-sided flexible circuits remained flat. Volume from double & multi-layer flexible circuits continued to increase. While volume levels remain high for the rigid module circuit segment, shipments for the past month seemed to show a slight weakness. Shipments for other module circuits remained sluggish during October, but manufacturers report optimism for this segment since demand has turned upward.
