Semiconductors do not function in isolation.
They gain functionality through electronic inter-
connection with other components on printed
circuit boards (PCBs). These electronics systems
feature prominently in key sectors like defence,
aerospace, space, automotive, medical, and high-
performance computing, but electronics are vital
to every industry.
IPC announced the July 2023 find-
ings from its North American Elec-
tronics Manufacturing Services
(EMS) Statistical Program. The
