The printed circuit board industry closed 2025 at about $88 billion in revenue, and a conservative forecast puts it at $140 billion by 2031, following an 8.1% CAGR. That headline figure averages two industries moving in opposite directions: an AI-driven segment compounding at 45 to 70% a year, and a barely growing commodity tail. Against

Advanced packaging has become the place where AI system performance is won or lost. High-end performance packaging revenue is forecast to grow to more than $51 billion in 2031, a 27% CAGR during 2025-2031, with package unit volume expanding at a 33% CAGR and wafer demand at 30%. The gap between those three figures tells

Every leap in AI now rests on a physical bill: the chips, memory, interconnects, and power packed inside the data centre. Against this backdrop, Yole Group releases its latest report, Data Centre Semiconductor Trends 2026, offering a comprehensive analysis of the semiconductor market, ecosystem, supply chain, and technologies shaping the data centre semiconductor landscape.
