Goldman Sachs sharply raised its market size forecasts for AI server-related PCBs and CCLs in its latest industry report. Boosted by the news, the A-share PCB sector surged, with Baoding Technology hitting its up limit for the fifth time in six trading days. Goldman Sachs now expects the global AI server PCB market to reach 37.5 billion US dollars in 2027, up 38 percent from its previous forecast, and to further grow to 84 billion US dollars in 2028. The CCL market is projected to reach 22.1 billion US dollars in 2027, up 18 percent, and could rise to 48 billion US dollars in 2028. This implies compound annual growth rates of 148 percent and 161 percent for the AI server PCB and CCL markets respectively from 2026 to 2028. Goldman Sachs noted that this growth is driven not only by higher server shipments, but also by factors such as increased PCB layer counts, greater penetration of high-end HDI, upgrades in CCL materials, and higher PCB usage within server racks.
