FPC is a kind of flexible circuit board made of polyester film or polyimide as the base material. It has the characteristics of lightness, thinness, high density, and foldability. For the current 5G smart phones, smart wearable devices and automotive electronics applications are very extensive, and this wave of technology will also bring a significant increase in demand for FPC.

1. FPC domestic substitution is imminent

From the perspective of global FPC output value, China is now a country with large FPC production capacity. According to statistics, China’s FPC output value accounted for more than 56% of global output value in 2018.  China is indeed a big FPC demand country, so now the domestic substitution of FPC is imminent, and the country is also vigorously supporting it, and there is huge room for it.

2. The wave of mobile phone replacement is accelerating, and FPC demand is increasing

On December 10, 2019, Xiaomi officially released its first 5G mobile phone at the press conference, which is also the first 5G mobile phone with a price of less than 2,000 yuan. This incident represents the democratization of 5G mobile phone prices, and the tide of 5G replacement will accelerate. It is expected that the shipment of 5G mobile phones will exceed 280 million units in 2020, and the substantial increase in mobile phone shipments will inevitably lead to a large increase in FPC demand and a surge in sales.

3. Stand-alone FPC usage has steadily increased, and is expected to continue to grow

From the previous functional mobile phones to the current smart phones, mobile phones are undergoing continuous update and iteration. With the continuous innovation of mobile phones, many intelligent application functions have been added at the same time, such as fingerprint recognition, multi-camera cameras, and virtual side buttons. And so on, and the arrival of these functions also makes the available space inside the phone continue to decline. At this time, ordinary PCBs will continue to decrease, replaced by foldable FPCs. In this way, the internal FPC usage of a single mobile phone will increase.
