AI inflation spreads again: 10% resin price increase drives full upstream inflation in PCB industry
From a macro perspective in Q2 2026, the global electronic materials market is undergoing a profound transformation driven by an interplay of “cost-push” factors and “structural shortages.” Recently, leading copper-clad laminate (CCL) companies such as Kingboard announced a uniform 10% price increase for board materials and PP prepreg. This development not only signifies the official end of a three-year destocking cycle, but also reveals that core upstream raw materials such as resin and electronic fiberglass cloth have entered a substantive period of supply contraction.

After last week's attack in Saudi Arabia, the east-west oil pipeline—with a previous maximum daily crude oil transport capacity of 5 million barrels—was shut down. The U.S. Energy Secretary stated he expects the pipeline to resume operations soon, but regional officials said recovery may take several weeks. Saudi Arabia’s crude oil exports dropped to 3 million barrels per day in August, the lowest in at least nine years, but increased in September.
