Strengthen PCB procurement in Europe – risks of Asian dependency

What happened

European industry associations are urging OEMs to diversify PCB procurement away from Asia, citing strategic risks and IP leakage. The EU is planning regulations to exclude Chinese components, which could lead to allocation priorities favoring local suppliers. Watch: Potential for future supply constraints and cost increases for European electronics assembly if procurement shifts.
