The development prospect of connector

With the rapid growth of consumer electronics, automotive electronics and communication terminal markets and the continuous transfer of global connector production capacity to Asia and China, Asia has become the most potential place for connector market development, while China will become the fastest growing and capacity market in the world.

Connector downstream applications are broad, and will continue to grow in the future. Upstream of the connector are copper and other metal materials, small pin plastic materials, coaxial cable and other raw materials, while downstream fields are very extensive. According to statistics, in the downstream fields of the connector, the main five application fields are automobile, communication, computer and peripherals, industry, military industry and aerospace, accounting for 76.88%. In terms of market segments, the computer and consumer electronic connector market will grow steadily. On the one hand, the continuous upgrading of the operating system, the popularity of two in one devices and tablet computers will bring the development of the global computer market.

On the other hand, personal and entertainment electronic products such as TV sets, wearable products, video game machines and home appliances will also usher in sustained growth. In the future, the trend of product technology progress, miniaturization, function integration and consumer purchasing power in the terminal market will lead to the improvement of connector product demand. It is estimated that the compound growth rate will be about 2.3% in the next five years. Mobile and wireless device connector market will grow rapidly. Connector is the basic accessory of mobile phone and wireless equipment, which is used to connect headphones, chargers, keyboards and other devices.

In the future, with the increasing demand of mobile phone products, the upgrading and unification of USB interface, the miniaturization of mobile phone and the development of wireless charging, the design and quantity of crimping pin connectors will be improved, ushering in rapid growth. It is estimated that the compound growth rate will reach 9.5% in the next five years.

Communication infrastructure connector market will also usher in rapid growth. The application of connector products in communication infrastructure mainly includes data center and optical fiber transmission infrastructure. It is estimated that the composite growth rates of communication infrastructure connector market and data center connector market will be 8.6% and 11.2% respectively in the next five years. There will also be growth in the automotive, industrial and other sectors. The circular hole single row pin connector can also be used in automobile, industry, transportation, military / aviation, medical equipment, instrument and other fields. Among them, with the rise of automatic driving, the increasing demand of consumers for cars and the increasing popularity of on-board information and entertainment, the demand for car connectors will expand. The industrial field involves heavy machinery, robotic machinery and hand-held measuring equipment, etc. in the future, with the improvement of automation, the performance of connectors will continue to improve. With the improvement of medical level, there is a demand for medical devices and connectors. At the same time, the development of automation equipment and the improvement of public transportation system will also promote the development of connectors.
