PCB prices have risen by up to 40% due to war in Iran, according to Reuters' industry sources

According to Reuters industry sources, the conflict in Iran has significantly impacted the supply of materials essential for Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), leading to price increases of up to 40%. The disruption stems from a halt in production of a critical base material used in PCB laminates, coupled with shipping challenges in the Strait of Hormuz. These factors, combined with existing demand from AI server companies, have contributed to rising prices for various PC components.
