Taiwan’s PCB (Printed Circuit Board) industry occupied 33.9% of the world market share in 2021, and possessed the world’s No. 1 position. It has established very competitive clustering effect in Taiwan, which serves as the key upstream supplier attributable for the success of Taiwan’s electronic industries. The top 10 PCB companies accounted for 43% of the total revenue of Taiwan’s PCB industry. It is the objective of this research to understand the relative competitive positioning of these 10 PCB companies. Multidimensional Scaling method was used to convert each company’s 8 financial indexes into a position in a two-dimensional diagram. The 8 financial indexes can be grouped into two principal factors using Principal Component Analysis. The Y-Axis can be represented by the Input Effectiveness factor, and the X-Axis can be represented by the Profitability factor. Using the Clustering Analysis, the top 10 PCB companies can be characterized into 4 clusters. The 2nd cluster has the highest profitability, the 1st and 3rd clusters have the medium profitability, and the 4th cluster has the relatively low profitability. Nan Ya Printed Circuit Board Corporation has the highest input effectiveness. The improving strategies for companies in each of the 4 clusters are recommended.
