PCB maker Zhen Ding tops US$634M August revenue on AI server, optical module demand

Zhen Ding's August revenue exceeding $634 million is fueled by robust demand for AI servers, optical modules, and IC substrates, signaling a surge in global data center investments. This trend propels upstream PCB materials like copper foil and solder mask, while pushing midstream manufacturers toward HDI and multilayer board technologies. From a compliance standpoint, tightening U.S. export controls increase operational costs and supply chain risks, particularly for critical components. Competitors such as Xingsen and Shenwan Circuit may accelerate capacity expansion to capture market share. Over the next 12–24 months, sustained AI compute demand will likely drive a new cycle of PCB growth, especially in server and optical module segments, reinforcing Taiwan, China’s supply chain dominance.
