PCB strong book to bill ratio February North American

PCB strong book to bill ratio

International Association Connecting Electronics Industries (IPC) released "Statistical PCB industry research report in February in North America " today . The report shows that February sales still sluggish , but orders rose , pushing book to bill ratio higher.


North American PCB industry total shipments , compared with February 2014 , down 1.1% , resulting in YTD shipments fell 1.6% ; compared with the previous month , the chain increased 1.2%.

PCB total order amount , compared with February 2014 , an increase of 5.1% , pushing orders increased 0.9 percent so far this year ; compared with the previous month , a decline of 0.7 %. February 2015 North American PCB industry book to bill ratio up to 1.05.

Data Interpretation

Book to bill ratio , is the ratio of the research project with the participation of IPC sample orders in the past three months, divided by the year's sales , to get. The ratio of more than 1.00 , indicating that the current demand exceeds supply , suggesting the development of the next three to six months, sales growth trend will be in . Ratio of less than 1.00 , it indicates that the current supply is greater than demand .

Year growth rate and growth rate so far this year , for the exploration industry trends instructive. Ring data affected its cyclical and short-term changes in factors need to be treated with caution . Compared with the shipment data, order data changes larger orders shipped between the ratio of change from month to month , is not so important , unless there are significant changes in three consecutive months trend. Reasons for change orders and shipments and understand book to bill ratio of change is equally important.

IPC 's monthly PCB industry statistics , data from a representative in the United States and Canada rigid / flex PCB manufacturers sample companies regularly offer. IPC will publish monthly PCB and PCB book to bill ratio statistics project reports . Monthly statistical report will be released in the last week of the following month.
