The Internet of Things is generating a lot of traction in a number of industries, but printed circuit board assembly could stand to gain the most.

The military and defense contractors are now more technologically advanced than ever, and the success of the industry is translating into big paydays in the future for printed circuit board manufacturers.

Athletics have entered the digital age and PCBA is playing a large role in facilitating that transition.

A recent discovery in Tanzania could provide a sharp boost in production for the medical sector of PCBA manufacturing.

It's an undeniable fact that the printed circuit board manufacturing industry has changed incredibly over the last decade alone. Extend this to 20 or 30 years, when personal computers were first hitting the shelves, and the advancements are truly astonishing.

Behind every device is a manufacturing team who created it. This statement rings even more true for printed circuit boards, even though consumers may not recognize it.

The printed circuit board industry experienced excellent year-over-year growth, according to an IPC press release. As of April, 2016, yearly growth hit 5.6 percent, while sale and order volume eclipsed last year's statistics.

Printed circuit boards may be the driving force at the heart of nearly every product we use today, but it wasn't always like that. They've come a long way and have transformed with technology into the high-powered chip they are today.

Since the first television and computer came onto the market, technological devices have become considerably smaller. New technology is requiring PCB manufacturers to miniaturize components to fit unique specifications, which means breaking the conventional rules day after day.

The growth of technology doesn't stop for anybody, which is why it's incredibly important to stay ahead of trends when it comes to manufacturing parts for devices.
