Europe's Electronics Industry Faces a PCB Problem Beyond Chips
Original: Europe’s Electronics Industry Has a PCB Problem, Not Just a Chip Problem
Europe's electronics sector is being warned that its weaknesses go beyond semiconductor shortages to printed circuit boards, a lower-profile but essential component of nearly all electronic devices. Industry commentary argues that Europe has become heavily dependent on PCB manufacturing concentrated in Asia, and that without investment in domestic circuit board production capacity, efforts to strengthen European chip sovereignty will remain incomplete and vulnerable to supply chain disruptions.
Why now: Debate over European tech sovereignty and supply chain security is drawing attention to overlooked dependencies like PCBs.
