IPC conducts statistical programs for the EMS, PCB, and solder segments of the electronics manufacturing industry. The North American PCB Statistical Program aggregates industry data covering sales, orders and growth rates by product types and company-size tiers for rigid PCBs and by product types for flexible circuits, as well as separate rigid and flex book-to-bill ratios. Backlogs, inventory levels, and sales performance in the military, medical and prototype markets are also reported.
