• Connectors Market Intelligence | Analysis, Trends, Forecast, Outlook

Connectors Market Description

The global connector market is expected to reach $72.26 billion by 2020, growing at a CAGR of 2-3 percent. The increasing demand for computerized content in the automotive industry at the consumer level in regions such as North America, Europe, and China is driving the demand for the connector market. Furthermore, the improved functionality of applications is resulting in rapid progress in innovative product development; thereby driving the demand for connectors. An increased level of consolidation is noted in the connectors industry, and many established companies have made a notable overseas acquisition to gain market share.

The report explores the top 10 connector manufacturers, which account for 59.7 percent of the
overall connector market share. In the North American region, the U.S. is the largest market for connectors and currently holds over 70 percent of the overall regional sales. The report also covers the best procurement practices in the connectors industry, which suggests that labor and energy constitute nearly 35-38 percent of the entire cost. However, there has been a gradual increase in labor rates in the emerging countries resulting in a rise in the price of connectors.

Global Connectors Driver and Constraints

Driver

Demand for connectivity, convenience, and advanced product features is resulting in increased electronic content in the end-use devices. Increased functionality of applications is resulting in rapid advances in the new product development and thereby driving the demand for connectors
Increased convergence of product is resulting in more electrical devices offering broad-based functionality. E.g., the increased convergence of connectors used in consumer electronics, mobile devices, and other infotainment devices
Growing demand for electronic content in automotive industry at consumer level especially in North America, Europe, and China is driving the demand for connector market

Constraints

Rapid innovation in the technology industry is resulting in the price erosion of products in the end-use industries, which in turn is resulting in pricing pressure on the connector manufacturers
Volatility in the raw material prices such as copper and gold coupled with the rising labor wage rates in the developing nations is resulting in increased pressure on the manufacturer’s profit margins
Slowdown of the economic activity especially in Europe, China, and Japan is another constraint for the connector market. In addition, lower demand from computer, industrial, and consumer sectors due to cautious consumption by businesses and individuals is expected to affect the growth of overall connector industry
