PCB development work in China began in 1956,1963-1978, and gradually expand to form the PCB industry. 20 years of reform and opening up, the introduction of foreign advanced technology and equipment, a single panel, double sided and multilayer boards were the rapid development of domestic PCB industry from small to large and gradually developed. 2002, becoming the third largest PCB-producing countries. In 2003, PCB production value and the import and export volume more than six billion U.S. dollars, the world's second largest PCB producer. The PCB industry in China in recent years maintained a rapid growth of about 20%, and is expected to surpass Japan to become the most active countries of the world's largest PCB production value and technological development around 2010.

From the yield components, the main products of the Chinese PCB industry by a single panel, double panel turned to plywood, but upgrading is from 4 to 6 layers to more than 6 to 8 layers. With multilayer boards, HDI boards, the rapid growth of the flexible board, the PCB industry structure is gradually optimized and improved.

However, although the PCB industry in China has made great progress, but compared with the advanced countries there is a large gap, there is still a great improvement in the future and room for improvement. First, China has entered the later of the PCB industry, there is no specific PCB R & D institutions, R & D capabilities of new technology and foreign manufacturers. Secondly, the product structure from the point of view, still in the lower board production, although the FPC, HDI has increased rapidly, but due to the small base, the proportion is still not high. Again, most of the PCB production equipment in China rely on imports, part of the core raw material can only rely on imports, the industry chain is incomplete also hindered the development of enterprises footsteps in PCB series.
