Prismark Partners released its mid-year 2026 global electronics material forecast, projecting the total printed circuit board market will surpass $90 billion by year-end with a 5.2% compound annual growth rate. AI computing infrastructure and new energy vehicles act as the core demand drivers: a single high-end AI server requires 5x higher-value high-multilayer PCBs compared to standard cloud servers, while global EV penetration pushes HDI and power PCB substrate consumption upward. The report analyzes only macro demand trends, raw material pricing cycles and end-market spending from cloud operators and automotive OEMs, without referencing any individual PCB manufacturing enterprise performance or expansion plans.
