Reasons for outsourcing PCB design
PCB design is based on circuit schematICs to achieve the functions required by circuit designers Excellent PCB design can save production cost and achieve good circuit efficiency and heat dissipation efficiency
Characteristics of domestic PCB design industry
Since the reform and opening up, China has attracted large-scale transfer of European and American manufacturing industries due to preferential policies in labor resources, MARKets, investment and other aspects. A large number of electronic products and manufacturers have built factories in China, driving the development of domestic related industries.
Serious shortage of PCB design talents in second and third tier cities
In recent years, domestic PCB design industry has been affected by factors such as the financial crisis and industrial upgrading This PCB industry has been affected to a certain extent in China As China's PCB industry is mainly distributed in South China and East China, the sum of the two has reached 90% of the country's total The agglomeration effect is too obvious, resulting in a serious shortage of second and third tier urban talents for PCB design
Uneven distribution of downstream applications in China's PCB industry
In the downstream application distribution of China's PCB industry, consumer electronics accounted for the highest proportion, reaching 3.9%; The second is computer, accounting for 2.2%; Communication accounts for 14%; Industrial control/Medical Equipment accounted for 14%; Automotive electronics accounted for 6%; 5%.
The development of PCB design technology lags behind the world advanced level
Circuit board

Although China is now the country with the largest industrial scale in the world, it still lags behind the world's advanced level in terms of the overall scientific and technological level of the PCB industry. In terms of product structure, multilayer boards account for the largest proportion of output value. However, for low-end products with less than 8 floors, HDI, flexible boards, etc. have a certain scale, but there is a gap between technology content and advanced foreign products such as Japan. In China, the IC board with the highest technology content is even rarer. Production
Although the domestic PCB industry faces many problems and challenges, the huge market still urges many companies to invest in it. In addition to professional PCB design service providers, some non professional solution providers also have a continuous demand for PCB design. In this regard, domestic merchants choose to outsource PCB design services. According to statistics, in the first half of this year, Kuaibao released more than 50 PCB design outsourcing demands. This is also the fastest growing outsourcing demand of Kuaibao this year.
Because PCB design is an indispensable part of the electronic industry chain, enterprises have their own special aspects when choosing PCB design outsourcing. From the demand of PCB outsourcing, the leading outsourcing service platform for SMArt product development, for QuickPower services, we can see the reason for its demand.
Analysis of 3 reasons for outsourcing PCB design in China:
1. Outsourcing. Generally speaking, customers have their own full-time PCB design team. Only when their own resources can not meet the needs of design progress and design quality can they find some fixed and complementary design companies. These requirements are very high, and are determined by the industry. One customer has such a demand for fast package software. The Owner issued the design requirements for the control circuit of the gas mass flow control controller. There are more than a dozen people in the technology team, but the company has many projects. The employees have no time to deal with so many projects, so they choose outsourcing. Due to the tight schedule of the project, the owner also opened a professional integrity fund service.
2. Technical consulting and learning outsourcing. Such companies have their own PCB design teams, but their overall strength needs to be improved. They learn from others' methods and technologies through outsourcing. They are very familiar with the technological strength of the design company. Recently, there is a pcb design company in Beijing, which has a research and development team of more than 20 people, but the latest charge integrator project has no suitable engineers to design and develop. After repeated weighing, the employer chose to outsource this new project to a more skilLED PCB design solution company.
3. I don't know that the technology PCB projects that outsource the whole project are usually applicable to PCB design engineers of small and medium-sized customers who have no or only a few full-time employees, so that they are looking for a design company and hope that they can operate with a company with strength and security
