As we all know, PCB circuit boards are high-pollution, high-energy consumption, high-investment, and labor-intensive industries. During the transition period, companies face many problems. In terms of environmental protection, due to the continuous improvement of the country’s environmental protection requirements in recent years, the policies formulated have become more and more stringent, which has put increasing environmental pressure on enterprises;
In terms of the cost of PCB circuit boards, not only do we have to face the continued rise in international raw material prices in a high-inflation environment, but we also have to face the sharp increase in worker wage costs brought about by the implementation of new labor laws; coupled with the appreciation of the RMB, Southeast Asian countries have low costs Due to many external factors such as the rise of manufacturing, many low-end manufacturing companies in the PCB circuit board industry have even reached a critical point of life and death. The various cost control methods adopted by many companies are nothing more than reducing wages and saving money on raw materials. However, these cost savings and expenses are very limited and cannot fundamentally solve the problem. Some circuit board companies may also lack investment in R&D and marketing, leading to unbalanced development and loss of core competitiveness. Although some companies have considered cost issues and begun to move to the central and western regions to reduce labor costs, in fact, they have increased other design, research and development, and logistics costs, which is not cost-effective in the long run.
Although there are still many PCB circuit board companies that choose to believe in the traditional PCB circuit board design, production, sales, operation, and management models, there are still many doubts about the Internet, so they are in a wait-and-see state. However, some companies have already tried it first. Shui combines the circuit board industry with the Internet to create a new circuit board cloud platform in product design; in engineering operations, it realizes full automation of Internet management; in terms of sales and management, it takes Internet thinking as its lead. Of course, some of these companies have also benefited from it and have achieved outstanding results.
The popularization of information technology and software applications has promoted the development of various industries. The emergence of “Internet +” thinking has subverted the industrial structure of certain industries and expanded people’s horizons. This thinking was first introduced into the service industry and then extended to the industrial production field. Of course, this thinking has also brought a spring breeze to the PCB industry.
The PCB circuit board industry has been developing for many years, but subsequent growth has been weak in recent years, which is not optimistic. There are news reports that more than 10% of China’s PCB circuit board companies disappear every year. The emergence of this situation is closely related to the changes in the industrial structure brought about by the development of the times. Only through change can the PCB circuit board industry survive in the reality of fierce competition.
