Market Growth: The Substrate-Like PCB market is expected to reach US$ 7.16 billion by 2031 from US$ 2.97 billion in 2024, at a CAGR of 13.4 % during the forecast period. A substrate-like PCB (SLP or substrate-like printed circuit board) has similar properties to the semiconductor substrate. This PCB is developed for advanced IC packaging and ultra-high-density applications. Substrate-like PCBs incorporate features from both traditional circuit boards and semiconductor substrates to fulfill the consumers’ needs for modern electronics. These PCBs are highly incorporated in high-performance applications such as smartphones, wearables, computers, braking systems, ADAS, and other advanced consumer electronics to improve their performance. Substrate-like PCB offers high-density, high-performance, compact designs and is capable of satisfying the needs of current, miniaturized electronics. Furthermore, significant benefits offered by substrate-like PCBs, such as thermal management, high-density interconnects, and signal integrity by reducing electromagnetic interference (EMI), have increased their adoption in industries. Consumer electronics, automotive, medical, industrial, aerospace, and other industries are using substrate-like PCB to improve the electrical performance of devices and systems, thereby driving the market.

High Demand from Consumer Electronics Industry: Substrate-like PCBs are widely used in industries that require very fine chip-scale packed ICs to coexist with regular ICs on the same substrate. The consumer electronics industry uses substrate-like PCBs in the manufacturing of smartphones, wearables, computers, televisions, refrigerators, air conditioners, displays, washing machines, and other devices. Substrate-like PCB technology helps design high-density interconnect (HDI) boards. Traditional printed circuit boards (PCBs) have a rigid, layered design with restricted routing possibilities, which limits miniaturization and performance. On the other hand, substrate-like PCBs provide a compact and more flexible design, allowing smartphone manufacturers to achieve higher component density in smaller, compact, and highly featured products demanded by consumers. In 2017, iPhone 8/X was the first smartphone to use substrate-like PCBs, which was built using a modified semi-additive process (MSAP) process. Apple’s iPhone X, iPhone 11 Series, iPhone 12 Series, iPhone 13 Series, and iPhone 14 Series are also equipped with substrate-like PCBs, which reduce 30% of the volume of the mainboard. Similarly, Samsung’s smartphones, including Galaxy S9, Galaxy S20, Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, Galaxy S23, and Galaxy Z series, are incorporated with substrate-like PCBs. With more smartphone manufacturers incorporating substrate-like PCBs in their high-end versions of smartphones, the adoption of substrate-like PCBs is rapidly growing. This type of PCB provides the interconnects that are needed to integrate many components, such as CPUs, memory, and antennas in consumer electronics devices.

Innovation in PCB Substrate Materials: Traditional materials such as ceramic have served as the foundation for PCBs. Recently, PCBs have been at the center of innovation in the electronic industry. Within this dynamic industry, PCB substrates such as epoxy resin, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), glass fiber weave, flexible polymers, and other dielectric and insulating materials have transitioned from traditional materials to nanocomposite. These materials provide mechanical support and electrical insulation for the PCB's components. PCB substrates serve as the foundation for mounting conductive routes and electronic components supporting the conductive traces that allow electrical impulses to flow throughout the circuit. As electronics manufacturers focus on developing advanced devices, the adoption of PCB substrates among PCB manufacturers is increasing.
