半导体供应链近年备受关注，但PCB基础材料领域也出现瓶颈。AI数据中心扩张正吸收大量覆铜板产能，导致PCB材料短缺加剧。
原文深度解读
本文由STARTEAM Global与Würth Elektronik联合发布，发布于2026年9月8日，主题为PCB基础材料短缺加剧。文章指出，AI数据中心扩张大量消耗高等级覆铜板产能，导致传统工业和汽车应用的材料供应紧张。关键数字包括：AI服务器PCB层数为传统设计的3至5倍，需求预计至少持续增长至2026年底，玻纤布供应紧张预计2028年前不会缓解。文章还提及短缺已扩展至标准FR-4材料，并介绍了相关行业活动。
- AI服务器PCB层数是传统设计的3至5倍，导致对高质量PCB材料的需求大幅增加。
- 行业专家预计，至少到2026年底，需求将保持高位或继续增长。
- 短缺不仅限于覆铜板，还影响铜箔、半固化片（特别是PP1080和PP2116）、高性能树脂以及用于钻孔和铣削工具的碳化钨。
- 玻纤布的供应紧张预计在2028年前不会显著缓解。
- 短缺导致价格上涨、交期延长、价格可预测性降低和分配措施更严格，许多制造商的生产能力已被长期预订。
- Confidee COO Raymond Goh评估称，短缺已从高端层压板扩展到标准FR-4和常规PCB材料。
供应链影响
- AI基础设施的持续扩张可能继续挤压传统工业和汽车应用的PCB材料供应，取决于AI需求增速。
- 玻纤布供应紧张可能持续至2028年，可能影响依赖该材料的PCB制造商的生产计划。
- 半固化片和铜箔等关键材料的短缺可能导致PCB交期延长，取决于制造商产能分配策略。
- 材料价格波动和分配措施可能影响下游电子制造商的成本结构，取决于市场供需平衡。
- 制造商长期产能承诺可能降低供应链对短期需求波动的灵活性，可能加剧市场波动。

虽然半导体供应链近年来主导了行业关注，但PCB基础材料领域也在形成瓶颈。根据STARTEAM GLOBAL和Würth Elektronik的联合市场分析，AI数据中心扩张正在吸收大量高等级覆铜板，留给传统工业和汽车应用的产能减少。
AI服务器中使用的PCB层数是传统设计的3至5倍，推动整个供应链对高质量PCB材料的需求大幅增加。行业专家预计，至少到2026年底，需求将保持高位或继续增长。
短缺不仅限于覆铜板。供应压力日益影响铜箔、半固化片——特别是PP1080和PP2116——高性能树脂以及用于钻孔和铣削工具的碳化钨。具体到玻纤布，预计在2028年前供应紧张不会显著缓解。
后果是价格上涨、交期延长、价格可预测性降低以及分配措施更严格。许多制造商的生产能力已被长期预订，进一步限制了应对短期需求波动的灵活性。
“通过与客户、材料供应商和技术合作伙伴的紧密合作，我们能够提前洞察材料可用性、制造产能以及全球供应链稳定性的变化，”Würth Elektronik管理委员会成员Manuel Mairhofer表示。
除了核心制造活动外，STARTEAM GLOBAL和Würth Elektronik还在PCB行业内开展技术交流和知识共享合作，包括与Peters Group共同参与s.mask倡议。该倡议旨在推动PCB技术创新，增强行业对未来市场变化的韧性——这一目标与两家公司今天发出的供应链警告直接相关。
该分析呼应了Evertiq在2026年全年对PCB材料状况的报道，包括Confidee首席运营官Raymond Goh的评估，即短缺已超越高端层压板，现在正影响标准FR-4和常规PCB材料。
从制造和设计到供应链和新兴技术，电子行业从未停滞。在即将举行的Evertiq Expo活动中，与推动行业前进的人们会面。下一站是9月17日的Evertiq Expo哥德堡，行业专业人士将齐聚一堂，交流知识、发现新解决方案并建立有价值的商业联系。

While the semiconductor supply chain has dominated industry attention in recent years, a parallel bottleneck has been building in PCB base materials. AI data centre expansion is absorbing large quantities of high-grade laminates, leaving less capacity available for traditional industrial and automotive applications, according to a joint market analysis by STARTEAM GLOBAL and Würth Elektronik.
The layer count of PCBs used in AI servers is three to five times higher than conventional designs, driving a substantial increase in demand for high-quality PCB materials throughout the supply chain. Industry experts expect demand to remain at elevated levels, or continue to grow, at least through the end of 2026.
The shortage extends beyond copper-clad laminates. Supply pressure is increasingly affecting copper foils, prepregs — particularly PP1080 and PP2116 – high-performance resins and tungsten carbide used in drilling and routing tools. For fibreglass fabrics specifically, no significant easing of supply constraints is expected before 2028.
The consequences are rising prices, longer lead times, reduced price predictability and stricter allocation measures. Production capacities at many manufacturers have already been committed for the long term, further limiting flexibility in responding to short-term demand fluctuations.
"Through our close collaboration with customers, material suppliers, and technology partners, we gain early insights into changes in material availability, manufacturing capacities, and the stability of global supply chains," said Manuel Mairhofer, Member of the Management Board of Würth Elektronik.
Beyond their core manufacturing activities, STARTEAM GLOBAL and Würth Elektronik collaborate on technology exchange and knowledge sharing within the PCB industry, including joint participation in the s.mask initiative alongside Peters Group. The initiative aims to advance innovation in PCB technology and strengthen the industry's resilience to future market changes – a goal that sits directly alongside the supply chain warning the two companies are sounding today.
The analysis mirrors Evertiq's own reporting on the PCB material situation throughout 2026, including the assessment from Confidee COO Raymond Goh that the shortage has moved beyond advanced laminates and is now affecting standard FR-4 and conventional PCB materials.
From manufacturing and design to supply chains and emerging technologies, the electronics industry never stands still. Meet the people driving it forward at the upcoming Evertiq Expo events. The next stop is Evertiq Expo Gothenburg on September 17, where industry professionals gather to exchange knowledge, discover new solutions and build valuable business connections.
