KINGBOARD ANNOUNCES PRICE INCREASE ON CCL MATERIALS AMID TIGHT SUPPLY OF UPSTREAM RAW MATERIALS

July 6, 2026–Industry News

Leading laminate manufacturer Kingboard Laminates has issued a formal price adjustment notice, citing persistent demand growth and severe supply constraints in upstream core materials.

According to the official notification dated July 6, 2026, the company stated that rising market demand has increasingly tightened the supply of key raw materials such as glass fabric and copper foil, driving their costs significantly higher. In response, Kingboard will implement the following price revisions with immediate effect for all new orders:

Product Category               Adjustment

FR-4 (thickness≥1.3mm)       +15%

CEM‑1 / 22F                   +10%

Prepreg (PP)                   +15%

Copper foil processing fee       +5 CNY/kg for≤1.5oz; +8 CNY/kg for≥2oz

The adjustment applies to all thickness grades of the affected products. The company expressed its appreciation for customer understanding and cooperation during this market-driven cost transition.

This move reflects the broader pressure across the copper-clad laminate (CCL) supply chain, as strong end‑market demand–particularly in automotive electronics, AI infrastructure, and consumer devices–continues to outpace the expansion of upstream materials capacity. Industry analysts expect similar adjustments from other laminate suppliers in the coming weeks.

Kingboard remains committed to stable supply and quality assurance, while closely monitoring raw material trends to support its global customer base.
