North American Printed Circuit Board Industry Sales Show Strong Growth in June
Total North American PCB shipments in June 2021 were up 6.3% compared to the same month last year.
IPC recently announced the June 2021 findings from its North American Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Statistical Program. The book-to-bill ratio stands at 1.15. Total North American PCB shipments in June 2021 were up 6.3% compared to the same month last year. Compared to the preceding month, June shipments grew 17.3%. PCB bookings in June rose 19.4% compared to the 2020 month and 28.9% compared to May 2021.
“We saw strong PCB orders in June, outstripping any month since early 2006,” said Shawn DuBravac, IPC’s chief economist. “The electronics supply remains constrained and companies continue to look for any available capacity. Shipments also picked up strongly during the month, suggesting some disruptions are starting to improve and companies are increasingly able to fulfill incoming orders.”
