The future PCB is expected to integrate more intelligent functions. With the development of the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and 5G communication technology, PCBs will be required to have more sensing, computing, and communication capabilities. This will make PCB design more complex, while requiring more advanced manufacturing processes and materials.

Sustainable development is also an important direction for the future of the PCB industry. With the tightening of environmental regulations, PCB production will pay more attention to the effective utilization of resources and the minimization of waste. The use of renewable materials and the development of biodegradable PCBs will become a new trend in the industry. In addition, improving the lifespan and recyclability of PCBs will also help reduce electronic waste and promote the sustainable development of the entire electronics industry.

In summary, the future of PCB will be intelligent and sustainable. This not only requires manufacturers, designers, and researchers in the industry to constantly innovate and improve, but also requires support and cooperation from policy makers and various sectors of society.
