AI boom, West Asia crisis drive PCB shortage, raise electronics costs

The West Asia conflict and a surge in AI server demand have caused a shortage of printed circuit boards, a key hardware platform, which in turn has triggered a price rise in the electronics industry. This crunch in printed circuit boards (PCB) -- a hardware platform on which components are fixed in electronic products -- stems from rising material costs, supply chain disruptions in key shipping routes, and component diversion toward high-end artificial intelligence hardware. The shortage of PCBs comes at a critical juncture for Indian industry as several major investments amounting to over Rs 15,000 crore are in the pipeline under the Electronics Components Manufacturing Scheme (ECMS) amid rising domestic demand. A senior official of electronics manufacturing services firm Syrma SGS told PTI that the recent strike of Iran on facilities in Saudi Arabia has triggered a shortage of some of the chemicals that are used for making PCBs.
