FPCB Makers Expected to See Weak 1H17 on Slowing iPhone 7 Demand

Reading time ( words)

Flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) makers Zhen Ding Technology and Flexium Interconnect are expected to see weak revenue performances for the first five months in 2017 as demand for iPhone 7 has started weakening and the two suppliers are unlikely to regain their momentum until Apple begins to prepare for its next-generation iPhone in June 2017, according to a Digitimes report. 

Both Flexium and Zhen Ding will see their revenues begin to decline in December and decrease more significantly in January and February 2017 due to dwindling demand for iPhone 7 devices.
