Cyrionix publishes evidence-based research for teams making PCB and PCBA sourcing decisions. Each publication states its scope, evidence cutoff, methodology and limitations so readers can understand both the finding and its boundary.
Featured Research
North American PCB & PCBA Sourcing in 2026
Evidence-first analysis of tracked bare-PCB trade, the U.S. assembly-manufacturing footprint, component conditions, origin-sensitive tariffs and transaction-specific landed cost.
Research Data Notes
These focused notes answer six narrow questions using the same August 18, 2026 research evidence cutoff. Important values remain visible as HTML, while each note preserves the classification, period and methodological qualifications that govern its use.
Trade & Sourcing
U.S. Bare-PCB Imports: 2021–2025 Trend and H1 2026 Update
Tracks import-for-consumption customs value for a controlled basket of seven bare printed-circuit classifications, including a comparable H1 update.
Where U.S. Bare-PCB Imports Come From: 2025 and H1 2026
Shows origin shares, top-five concentration and HHI for the same tracked customs basket without treating country share as supplier capacity.
U.S. Manufacturing
U.S. PCBA Manufacturing Employment and Establishments
Reports official private-industry NAICS 334418 workforce and establishment measures, with every 2025 QCEW observation identified as PRELIMINARY.
U.S. PCBA Manufacturing by State: 2025 Employment Footprint
Examines where published PRELIMINARY 2025 NAICS 334418 employment was concentrated without converting employment into capacity.
Tariffs & Sourcing Economics
PCB Tariffs by Origin in 2026: Research Scenarios for U.S. Imports
Presents classification- and date-scoped research scenarios, preserving Chapter 99, exclusion and transaction qualifications rather than asserting universal country rates.
PCB & PCBA Landed Cost: A Transaction-Specific Sourcing Framework
Separates publicly observable inputs from quote-specific and buyer-specific variables without inventing freight, quality or country-cost percentages.
How Cyrionix Research Is Built
Cyrionix keeps unlike statistical systems separate. Trade value is not treated as PCBA market size, employment is not treated as capacity, establishments are not treated as factories, and supplier location is not treated as proof of customs origin.
Primary and authoritative releases are tied to their eligible evidence cutoff. Calculations preserve their source inputs and formulas. Material source conflicts are quarantined rather than silently resolved, and tariff or landed-cost scenarios retain transaction-level qualifications.
This public methodology describes how the current research collection is governed. It does not expose private evidence files or imply that public data can answer supplier-specific questions about price, capacity, quality, lead time or customs treatment.
