2010-2011: A New “Up” Business Cycle

Overview

Historically, the connector industry goes through business cycles that result in consecutive years of growth before experiencing a downturn. Since 1980, there have been five growth business cycles, including 2010, when a new business cycle started.

This data provides some interesting findings:

• Since 1980, the average growth cycle for the connector industry is six years.
• Three of the four cycles produced compound annual growth rates of 9.5% to 10%.
• The highs and lows have been more pronounced in the past 10 years – more volatility.
• The strength of the 2010 recovery (sales growth of +28.4%), combined with the strong YTD growth of 9.8% through April 2011, suggests that we may be at the beginning of another up business cycle.

There are some troublesome HEADWINDS:

• High unemployment in the U.S. and Europe
• Heavy government debt, with the potential for defaults in some European countries
• High deficit spending in the U.S. and a stalled budget process in Congress
• Japan’s natural disasters and nuclear reactor problems
• Unrest in the Middle East and Northern Africa
• Housing market mired in recession-like condition

There are some promising TAILWINDS:

• Historically low interest rates
• Modestly improving worldwide GDPs
• Automotive industry recovery
• Stock market recoveries worldwide
• Double digit GDP growth in China and India
• Explosive growth in smartphones and tablets
• Increasing demand for bandwidth and speed in our communication systems
