I can reliably predict a bright future for the PCB industry. There are plenty of indicators of strength in the PCB market and I'm sure that this field will continue to grow as the economy gets back in gear.

• Multifunction advanced PCB design technologies will be integrated in the coming years, For example, A pc not only can be high-tech calculater, also have the function of telecommunication and mobliephone.
• Nowadays, As the delopment of electronics industry, the demand for ultra-high-speed PCB design is more and more popular,
• Engineers are assigned the task of design mixed analog and fast rise-time
  digital boards, and have all signals arrive at their destination cleanly
  
• With the advance of highly specialized design and layout software, the
  design of these boards has become increasingly ‘easy’ (automated)
  
• These physical design and layout tools can be provided with design
  constraints and auto-routed easily, resulting in increased productivity of the
  layout engineer and contributions to signal integrity problems
• The advancement of design and layout software needs to be matched by
  the accompanying advancement in powerful ANALYSIS tools used to
  solve timing delays, mismatched line impedances, crosstalk, and dielectric
  loss on high speed lines
  
• Just as an auto-layout program cannot layout 100 percent of the nets on a
  complex, high-speed board, an analysis tool cannot default to 2-
  dimensional field solvers and behavioral models on 100 percent of the nets
  on a PCB.
  
• Many nets on a board may be analyzed accurately using 2-d solvers.
  However, critical signals will require a full 3-d solver that does not default
  to an ‘ideal’ case for the current return path. The full 3-d solver will take
  into account ground planes with holes, cutouts or that are split. Changes in
  reference planes, cutouts, and coupling to power/ground planes are other
  situations that require a full 3-d solver.
