Kingboard Laminates Raises Prices for 8th Time This Year, Thin Fabric Only

The narrowing of this increase to thin-fabric grades is the signal worth noting: it suggests the pricing pressure is concentrated in the high-end, capacity-constrained end of the laminate chain rather than broad-based input inflation. For downstream buyers of high-layer-count boards, the eighth consecutive move points to sustained cost pass-through rather than a one-off adjustment. Whether thick-fabric pricing stays flat while thin fabric keeps climbing is the open question, since that spread would say more about AI-driven demand than the headline percentage does.
