During the period, overall demand in the electronics market was robust, with rapid development in high-end sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI). Emerging electronic products centered on AI concepts experienced particularly strong demand. The prices of copper-clad laminates and their upstream materials—including AI electronic glass fiber yarn, AI electronic glass fiber cloth, and copper foil—generally saw significant increases. Sales volume also grew compared to the same period in 2024. This drove a rise in profits for the group's copper-clad laminate division, and the business climate across the entire copper-clad laminate industry chain continued to improve.
