The World Telecom Market for Connectors provides a new, in‐depth analysis of the world telecommunications and data communications market for connectors from 2010 to 2015. The 257 page report is organized around the six major market segments which include enterprise network equipment, wireless infrastructure equipment, wireless subscriber equipment, wireline carrier equipment, cable/MSO equipment and other telecom equipment.

For each market segment, the strategic implications of economics, competition, industry consolidation, convergence and technology advances are examined with respect to their impact on the evolving architectures, corresponding evolution of the equipment design and connectors.

For each major market segment, the subset of equipment is identified by equipment type and is characterized by where the equipment resides in the evolutionary process (legacy, transitional or next generation) and, key packaging and interconnection characteristics/trends. Five-year connector sales are identified by connector type for each subset of equipment.

From 2009, the market grew 21.2% in 2010 to a connector value of nearly $7.4 billion. The single largest influence on the telecom/datacom market is the Internet.  From 2000 to 2010, worldwide Internet usage increased from 361,000 users to 1,966,515,000.  In 2000, the global IP traffic equaled 95.5 Petrabytes per month, an average of 0.26 Gigabytes per user.  In 2010, this traffic has increased to 21,380 Petrabytes per month, an average of 10.9 Gigabytes per user. The second largest factor influencing the telecom/datacom market is hand-held wireless devices including cell phones, smartphones, and broadband devices.  In 2010, according to the International Telecommunication Union, there was 5.3 billion mobile cellular subscriptions worldwide.  That is approximately 76% of the world population. These two factors are driving the growth of the telecom/datacom market, particularly wireless infrastructure equipment.
