AI in PCB Manufacturing:From Pilots to ScaleA global benchmark of where AI is actuallyrunning today – and what it takes to scale. April 2026

Research OverviewObjectives•Evaluate AI adoption status in PCB manufacturing•Assess business value from AI applications•Identify scalable pathways and critical enablers•Understand investment trends and industry collaboration needsScope•Industry: Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Manufacturing•Geography: Global, with focus on Chinese Mainland, Taiwan Region, Southeast Asia, North America, and Europe•Timeline: January – April 2026Methodology•Quantitative survey: 111 respondents•Qualitative interviews: 6 anonymous executives2

Key Findings

4If AI is mainstream, why is impact still uneven?AI has crossed the use threshold, but production deployment and value realization remain uneven.68%Using AI today32%Not yet in production41%No clear value yet81%Increasing investmentThe central question: what separates “using AI” from “scaling AI” — and why companies are still investing through the friction.Base: Total Responses (N=111)Q7. Is AI currently used in your company’s PCB manufacturing or daily operations? / Q8. In which areas is AI currently running in actual production? Select up to 4. / Q10. To date, what value has AI primarily delivered in your company’s PCB manufacturing? Select up to 3. / Q.17. Compared with the past two years, how do you expect AI-related investment in PCB manufacturing to change over the next 2-3 years?

Adoption is real; maturity is uneven Most firms have started. Few have turned AI into a repeatable manufacturing capability.The industry is still at the “assisted intelligence” phase, not “autonomous manufacturing.”
