# PCB สำหรับอุปกรณ์อิเล็กทรอนิกส์สำหรับผู้บริโภค: คู่มือฉบับสมบูรณ์
ตลาด consumer electronics มูลค่ากว่า 1.5 ล้านล้านดอลลาร์ เป็น segment ที่ต้องการ PCB มากที่สุดในโลก แต่ก็เป็น segment ที่ท้าทายที่สุดด้วย เนื่องจาก cost pressure สูง, product lifecycle สั้น, และ consumer expectation ที่เพิ่มขึ้นทุกปี
> จากประสบการณ์ตรง: "Consumer electronics ต้องการทั้ง performance, miniaturization, และ cost efficiency พร้อมกัน Design ที่ดีต้อง balance ทุกอย่างให้ลงตัว ไม่ใช่ optimize แค่ด้านเดียว" — Hommer Zhao, Engineering Director
