Fastest Growing Markets for Connectors: Connector Types And Technologies
This research report identifies 17 specific connector types that are expected to grow at a significantly faster rate than the general market over the next five years. This 22-chapter, 220-page report defines the key characteristics of each connector, as well as provides typical applications, major manufacturers along with projected market values and five year CAGR. This report also reviews emerging trends and technologies that are likely to have a major impact on connector design and applications over this same period.
Each connector type is defined with a product description including key mechanical and electrical performance characteristics, as well as the rational for its selection. Major applications are also identified. A global market value and forecast to 2020 documents our growth expectations for each connector type.
Many of the selected interfaces have existed in the market for several years, but emerging applications will propel their growth well beyond that of the general connector market. Some legacy connector types, for instance, are being adapted to high-speed differential signaling, which will allow implementation in next-generation equipment. In other cases, entirely new interfaces will likely show significant percentage growth from near zero as they are implemented in new high-volume applications.
