0941 GMT - Artificial-intelligence printed circuit boards are emerging as a key growth driver in the AI hardware stack, Daiwa analysts say in a research note. Driven by both volume expansion and higher average prices, the AI PCB total addressable market could reach $96 billion by 2030, they say. PCB manufacturers have entered "a capex supercycle," as China's top six PCB manufacturers have sped up their capex commitment from 2024 to 2026, led by Victory Giant Technology and WUS Printed Circuits, the analysts note. China accounts for about 54% of the global PCB market and Victory Giant alone had 14% of the global AI PCB market in 1H 2025, they say. Meanwhile, PCB manufacturers' accelerating capex will likely drive demand for drilling and exposure equipment, they add. (sherry.qin@wsj.com)
