High Density Interconnect PCB Market Size was valued at USD 5,197.2 Million in 2023. The High-Density Interconnect PCB market industry is projected to grow from USD 6096.3156 Million in 2024 to USD 21,823.6 Million by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.28% during the forecast period (2024 - 2032). HDI is an abbreviation for High Density Interconnector, which is a circuit board with a relatively high line distribution density that employs micro-blind and buried hole technology. It is crucial in enhancing electrical performance and lowering the weight and size of equipment. HDI PCB designs push the boundaries of technology, and key market companies are at the forefront of innovation, meeting the most stringent specifications. The demand for HDI PCB manufacturing has been expanding due to technological breakthroughs and the numerous advantages HDI PCBs provide for high-tech applications. Fitting more technology into less space with fewer layers limits many PCB producers who lack specialised equipment and the ability for advanced features, finer lines, and tighter tolerances. HDI printed circuit board designs make use of sophisticated features such as microvias, blind vias, via-in-pad, stacked and staggered vias to maximise board area while enhancing performance and usefulness.

COVID-19 has impacted various industries across the globe resulting in travel bans, worldwide lockdowns, and the disruption in the supply chain of various businesses. The semiconductor industry has also been deeply affected by the unprecedented event and witnessed a sharp decline in revenues due to the uncertain positioning of technological devices. Despite the growing uncertainties, semiconductors manufacturers, especially chipmakers, are trying to continue their operations and working on their long-term strategies. Many semiconductor manufacturers are also collaborating with their partners and specific markets with consistent business stability. For instance, while focusing on the health and safety of their employees, semiconductor manufacturers are making efforts in constant research, designs, and manufacturing processes. The urgency for continuing operations has occurred within the semiconductor industry for their end users, including medical and healthcare technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), Industry 4.0, and 5G, working to combat the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many PCB manufacturers have been serving clients during the COVID-19 crisis to meet their imminent requirements. The leading PCB manufacturers in the US have been meeting the requirements of their clients across medical and other essential services industries as usual. The company has been operating all the while following OSHA and FDA guidelines with the prescribed work strength. However, that doesn’t mean any compromise on quality or changed deadlines. However, following the pandemic, experts believe that the demand for High Density Interconnect (HDI) PCBs has risen considerably in the healthcare industry. Their applications are extensive in medical devices such as CT scans, defibrillators, MRIs, ultrasonic equipment, medical imaging systems, electrical muscle stimulation equipment, and more.
It is becoming more common to use IoT devices in manufacturing, warehousing, and other industrial settings as industrial automation become more and more sophisticated. HDI technology is used in many of these advanced pieces of equipment. Businesses today use electronic tools to keep track of inventory and monitor equipment performance. Machines are increasingly equipped with smart sensors that collect usage data and communicate with other smart devices, as well as relay information to management and help optimize operations. Like almost everything else, cars are becoming more connected and computerized. The majority of modern cars have around 50 microprocessors, which control the engine, diagnose problems, provide safety features, and do other tasks. There are many advanced features that rely on HDI PCBs, including onboard WiFi and GPS, rearview cameras, and backup sensors. As automotive technology continues to advance, HDI tech will likely play an increasingly important role. In addition to medical devices, HDI PCBs are prominently used in equipment for monitoring, imaging, surgical procedures, laboratory analysis, etc. The use of high-density technology could improve the accuracy and cost-effectiveness of monitoring and medical testing.
5G technology is constantly evolving with new features being added daily. It is therefore important for PCB manufacturers to understand both the raw material requirements and the equipment upgrade requirements. Investing in the R&D of PCB assembly processes to meet 5G requirements can also prove to be a tremendous growth opportunity. Due to its innovative features and robust performance, the 5G network is quickly gaining traction in the consumer sector. With the growing demand for powerful and flexible 5G devices, the PCB industry will expand. PCB assembly providers must, however, support 5G technology by offering tools and processes that are capable of evolving rapidly. In addition to meeting consumer demand and achieving better profits, production facilities that have the tools and processes in place to adapt to technology — instead of lagging behind it — will continue to grow as trends change and coverage expands.
Moreover, PCB boards are used in four areas of communication network construction: wireless networks, transmission networks, data communications, and fixed-line broadband. During the early stages of 5G construction, PCBs were in high demand for wireless networks and transmission networks, especially for backplanes, high-frequency PCB boards, and high-speed multilayer PCBs. A growing number of 5G high-bandwidth business applications, including mobile high-definition video, car networking, and AR / VR, will have a significant impact on the data processing and exchange capability of data centers in the middle and late stages of 5G construction. Within five years, it is expected that domestic data centers will upgrade from 10G to 100G and 400G ultra-large data centers. It will be a time of rapid growth for multilayer electronic circuit boards in the data communications industry.
By Interconnection Layers, the High Density Interconnect (HDI) PCB market has been categorized as 1 Layer (1+N+1) HDI, 2 or more layers (2+N+2) HDI, and All Layers HDI. During the projected period, the demand for All Layers HDI segment is expected to grow rapidly.
