North American Printed Circuit Board Industry Sales Increase 10.1% in July
While total North American PCB shipments were up 10.1% in July 2020 compared to the same month last year, they fell 15.7% compared to June 2020.
IPC recently announced the July 2020 findings from its North American Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Statistical Program. The book-to-bill ratio stands at 1.0. Total North American PCB shipments in July 2020 were up 10.1% compared to the same month last year. Compared to the preceding month, July shipments fell 15.7%. PCB bookings in July fell 9.4% year-over-year and declined 36.5% from the previous month.
“We’ve seen very strong order growth the last five months which may lessen naturally as demand decreases, but we expect shipment growth to continue into the fall,” said Shawn DuBravac, IPC’s chief economist.
