Taiwan-based PCB maker Unitech Printed Circuit Board expects demand for any-layer designs for use in automotive electronics, wearables and other IoT-connected devices to increase and drive the company’s revenue growth in 2016, according to a report by Digitimes.
The report quoted Unitech president Hsu Cheng-hung as saying that any-layer PCB demand for auto and IoT applications will rise and help offset decelerating demand for smartphones.
To cope with the increased demand, Unitech will expand its production capacity for any-layer PCBs by 10% at its manufacturing site in Yilan, northeastern Taiwan, the report said.
