Rigid flex printed circuit boards (PCB) are circuit boards that combine rigid and flexible board technologies. Depending on the design of the application, the majority of rigid flex boards are made up of many layers of flexible circuit substrates that are outwardly or internally attached to one or more rigid boards.
The flexible substrates are typically shaped into the flexed curve during manufacturing or installation and are intended to be in a constant state of flex. As these boards are created in a 3D space, giving higher spatial efficiency, rigid flex designs are more difficult to create than the design of a normal rigid board environment.
The Global Rigid-flex PCB market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Applications for rigid flex printed circuit boards are numerous and include anything from medical monitoring to surgical equipment, consumer electronics, industrial electronics, and more.
However, given that the healthcare sector is digitising quickly and makes up 10% on average of a nation’s GDP, PCB is employed in healthcare more frequently than it is in the pharmaceutical industry. The stiff flex PCBs are good in overcoming weight and space issues with spatial degrees of freedom in consumer devices.
The Rigid Flex PCB market will expand as a result of improvements in industrial electronics, particularly for applications in factory automation and building automation.
Additionally, the Rigid Flex PCB market will expand due to developments in the healthcare and pharmaceuticals industries, which include a wide range of monitoring and surgical equipment along with numerous other wearable gadgets.
The demand for navigation systems, vehicle tracking systems, and information display systems in these vehicles will fuel market growth.
Additionally, with the introduction of new technologies in vehicles and the mainstreaming of electric vehicles, the automotive sector is experiencing tremendous demand.
Copper foil, electrolytic solvents, and cobalt salts are some of the materials used to make PCBs, but as their manufacturing costs rise, businesses are being diverted from developing aggressive pricing strategies.
