IPC announced today the November 2024 findings from its North American Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Statistical Program. The book-to-bill ratio stands at 1.15.

Total North American PCB shipments in November 2024 were up 4.7 percent compared to the same month last year. Compared to the preceding month, November shipments were down 1.4 percent.

PCB bookings in November were up 29.1 percent compared to the same month last year. November bookings were down 13.7 percent compared to the preceding month.

“A jump in November orders pushed the PCB book-to-bill to the highest level in over two years. All eyes are now on whether this momentum carries forward into the new year,” said Shawn DuBravac, IPC’s chief economist.
