HDI PCBs gain ground in AI server infrastructure
High-Density Interconnect (HDI) PCB is projected to account for 39.0% of the PCB configuration segment in 2026. HDI boards place more circuit routes into limited board space, making them suitable for server systems where routing density is critical. Multilayer PCB remains relevant for standard server boards, while Embedded Component PCB and Rigid-Flex PCB address specialized packaging requirements.
AI Training Servers are expected to hold 42.0% of the server platform segment in 2026. Training systems place high demands on boards because accelerators and memory must communicate at high speed. Enterprise AI Servers support private workloads, while Data Center Networking and Storage Infrastructure add demand where traffic management and system connectivity are required.
Hyperscale Data Centers are anticipated to capture 44.0% of the application sector in 2026. Large cloud platforms qualify boards for repeated server builds. Enterprise Data Centers generate replacement demand, while Financial Services and Healthcare AI Systems require reliable boards for more specialized workloads.
Hyperscale Cloud Providers are estimated to represent 41.0% of the customer group in 2026. Their direct role in AI infrastructure purchasing gives them substantial influence over server-platform requirements and board qualification. Contract Electronics Manufacturers execute production programs, while Government Research Organizations use verified boards for computing clusters.
