Rapid technological development has increased the demand for compact and reliable electronic devices. Compact sized products with improved connectivity coupled with high speed will likely emerge winners. Connectors are an integral part of such devices. The key drivers of the connector industry are growing 3C applications (computing, communication, and consumer electronics), miniaturization of electronic devices, and increasing electronic content in devices.
The growing market in Asia-Pacific
According to Bishop & Associates, Inc., a market research firm specializing in the global electronic connector market, connector sales grew 8.2% in 2014 to $55,402 million. Lucintel, a management consulting firm further predicts that the connecter market will reach a value of $65.7 billion by 2019. However, connector sales figures in 2015 do not live up to its expectation. The Bishop & Associates report shows an overall year on year decline in sales by 5.6% (Figure 1: Connector Industry Sales Performance by Region) across the world. Only the Asia-Pacific region is expected to round up the year with …show more content…

Technological development: Six main directions
1. FEC and IC packaging miniaturization: density is less than a space of 200mmH
2. High-speed transmission interfaces, connector must be matched with high bandwidth and high-speed circuit, realizing high speed
3. Reliability and stability of peak current mode, making full use of cooling air and providing more excellent long-term stability
4. Response to the trend of electronics environmental protection, lead-free, halogen-free and nanometer environmental protection materials will be widely
