Automotive Industry
The automotive industry is witnessing structural changes
since the past decade in the form of engine downsizing, electrification of
automotive mechanism, emission regulations, connectivity and safety. One of the
key trends that is influencing the automotive industry is the electrification
of vehicles. As the adoption of electronics increases in the automotive
application, the demand for automotive grade PCBs are expected to grow.
PCBs in Automotive
Industry
PCBs are essential components in electronic devices. A PCB
is a copper based board on which electrical wires are printed. These electrical
wires are connected to other electronic components on the board. PCBs are used
to upkeep and electrically connect all electronic components through conductive
paths. Hence, the demand for PCBs is directly correlated to the growth of the
automotive electronics industry and indirectly correlated to growth in vehicle
shipments. PCBs play a very important role in the automotive electronics
industry, as they form the fundamental structure for electronic connectivity.
Hence as the usage of electronics increase in vehicles is going to increase the
demand for PCBs.
Connected Cars and
Automotive PCB Market Growth
A connected car is a car that is equipped with Internet
access, and usually also with a wireless local area network. This allows the
car to share internet access with other devices both inside as well as outside
the vehicle. Connected Cars are taking
advantage of the rise of smartphones, and apps are available to interact with
the car from any distance. Users can unlock their cars, check the status of
batteries on electric cars, find the location of the car, or remotely activate
the climate control system.
Now a days automotive industry is more concentrating towards
technologies which are primarily involved in developing the car’s ability to
connect with the other vehicles and devices to enhance the driving experience.
To achieve this, Mobile operators and automakers collaborate to deploy network
technologies that support widespread, high-bandwidth connectivity and enable
remote management of the vehicle with the SIM card. Thereby a connected vehicle
ensures optimizing the operation and maintenance of the vehicle as well as
enhancing the convenience and comfort of passengers.
According to Embedded Computing Design, It is expected that
60% of vehicles will be connected by 2025 leading to increased demand for PCBs
in automotive. As connected cars will use integrated circuits to establish a
connection and communicate with other devices, the need for PCBs is expected to
increase. The demand for automotive grade PCBs is expected to increase due to
an increase in electronic content in vehicle, introduction of advance ADAS and
infotainment in mass mid-segment vehicles and adoption of connected car concept.
