The TMRC is a special program of the IPC with a mission to provide detailed market data and forecasts for PWB manufacturers. The TMRC is the premier market research organization for the electronics interconnection industry, open only to members of the IPC. TMRC membership includes over 300 of the leading PWB fabricators, OEMs, and suppliers to the industry. Members receive 30-40 market research reports each year.
