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 place with the most development potential in the connector market, and China will become the fastest growing connector in the world. and the largest market. It is estimated that the growth rate of China's connector market will continue to exceed the global average level in the future. In the next five years, the average annual growth rate of China's connector market will reach 15%. By 2010, China's connector market capacity will reach 257 billion.

The main supporting fields of electrical connectors are transportation, communication, network, IT, medical care, home appliances, etc. The rapid development of product technology level in the supporting fields and the rapid growth of the market are strongly driving the development of connector technology. So far, the connector has developed into a serialized and specialized product with a complete range of products, rich varieties and specifications, various types of structures, subdivisions of professional directions, obvious industry characteristics, and standard system specifications.

In general, the development of connector technology presents the following characteristics: high-speed and digital signal transmission, integration of various types of signal transmission, miniaturization of product volume, low cost of products, contact termination method table. Paste, module combination, convenient plug-in and so on. The above technologies represent the development direction of connector technology, but it should be noted that the above technologies are not necessary for all connectors. Connectors in different supporting fields and different use environments have completely different requirements for the above technologies. . According to a survey report by BCC Research, a medical market research organization, the global home medical equipment market will grow to US$20.4 billion in 2012, with an annual growth rate of 6.8%. Medical electronics will become a new growth point for connector applications. The market predicts that by 2011, the connector market in the medical field will reach $1.63 billion.

  Mobile phone market

The connector is one of the most important components in a mobile phone. On average, each mobile phone requires 8 connectors. According to a Coda Research report, global smartphone shipments will reach 2.5 billion units from 2010 to 2015, with a compound annual growth rate of 24%. Statistics show that in the first quarter of 2010, the sales volume of 3G mobile phones in China reached 6.113 million units, an increase of 65.97% from the previous quarter. As the development of the mobile phone market continues to improve. The mobile phone connector market will continue to take advantage of the trend.

· The types of connector products used in mobile phones are divided into internal FPC connectors and board-to-board connectors; externally connected I/O connectors, as well as batteries, SIM card connectors and Camera Sockets, etc. Supported by 3G mobile phones and smart phones Demand market influence, the current development direction of mobile phone connectors is: low height, small pitch, multi-function, good electromagnetic compatibility, coexistence of standardization and customization Automotive market The automotive connector market is the largest connector segment, a typical A light vehicle has about 1,500 connection points. According to Bishop & Associates, the automotive connector market is expected to continue to grow, reaching a market size of US$13.4 billion by 2011.
