Most leading mobile brands have invested in handset and related equipment manufacturing in India-<br />

Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG, and Ericsson. All leading PC Brands- Lenovo, Acer, and HP have<br />

assembly plants and are aiming at expansion. The booming electronics industry leads to growing<br />

demand for glass reinforcement fabric.<br />

Market size <strong>of</strong> printed circuit board and glass fibre fabric for printed market in India<br />

The Indian PCB industry is small compared to the world market. The Indian market is approximately<br />

2-3% <strong>of</strong> the Chinese PCB market in value terms. The trend in Indian PCB industry is as given below:<br />

The industry has been growing at the rate <strong>of</strong> 40% by volume and 15-20% by value. PCB<br />

manufacturers in India mostly cater to the defence sector since the defence norms require local<br />

sourcing <strong>of</strong> these strategic components. However, the mobile phone, personal computers and<br />

communication technology sectors which are biggest consumers <strong>of</strong> PCBs still rely on imports<br />

however the Indian PCB industry is fast catching on. In India there are around 60 PCB manufacturers<br />

with around 15 large producers. Some <strong>of</strong> the major producers include AT&S, Cipsa, Epitome<br />

Components, Shogini Technoarts and Akasaka Electronics etc.<br />

Consumption norms and the market size<br />

The glass fibre fabric used for reinforcements is E-glass fibre which would be a 100-200 GSM fabric.<br />

The usage <strong>of</strong> the fabric is same as the surface area <strong>of</strong> the PCB.
