It is the highlight of all kinds of exhibitions, and there will be big growth this year.
With the rapid development of semiconductor process technology, the integration capability of integrated circuits is getting stronger and stronger, but in the composition of electronic products, a device is indispensable, it is the connector, and the connector is the core necessary for the electrical connection of the whole circuit system. The basic element, whose function is to switch on, off or switch by means of electrical/optical signals and mechanical forces. Connectors are used in all electronic products, from microcapsule cameras to large-scale defense equipment are inseparable from connectors, widely used in automotive, communications, aerospace, military equipment, computers, industry, household appliances, and many other fields, in any electronic In the exhibition, the connectors are a beautiful landscape.
This is because the global connector market has continued to grow for nearly 40 years. According to Bishop&Associate, the global connector market has grown from 59.4 billion yuan in 1980 to 364.3 billion yuan in 2016, with a compound growth rate of 5.2%, which has increased over the past decade. The rate is slow and the compound growth rate is 2.6%. From the perspective of the year, the global connector market reached US$54.4 billion in 2016, a year-on-year increase of 4.5%, and it still maintained a steady growth trend. The Chinese market performed better, with a growth rate of about 2 times that of the global market and a 10% year-on-year increase to US$15.94 billion, accounting for nearly 30% of the global total and 20% higher than 2010. Although the global connector market has experienced a temporary decline since 2014, with the rebound of the Chinese economy and the intelligent upgrade, it will continue to drive the industry forward.
According to the data released by the latest National Bureau of Statistics, from January to April this year, China's industrial profits are still maintaining good growth. In 2012-2016, the profits of industrial enterprises above designated size increased by 5.3%, 12.2%, 3.3%, -2.3% and 8.5%, respectively, and the growth rate in each year was lower than the growth level in April this year.
In addition, from January to April, industrial enterprises above designated size achieved a total profit of 2,278.03 billion yuan, a growth rate of 24.4%, and a new profit of 447.3 billion yuan, the highest value since the same period in 2012. This shows that China's economy has bottomed out. From the perspective of South China's electronics town, after the opening of the year, the supply of various components has tightened. The whole machine manufacturers have indicated that they have received new orders, and emerging markets have grown significantly, such as children's companionship. Demand for robots, sweeping robots, and small drones has increased. Under such demand, it is expected that the global connector market will reach 61.76 billion US dollars in 2017 this year, and the Chinese market will be close to 20 billion US dollars. It is very exciting data.
Second, the four trends of connector developmentAs product intelligence trends become more apparent, connector products present four trends.
Trend 1: From standard to customized
Traditional connectors are passive products. Manufacturers provide standardized products to customers. As electronic products diversify and more and more smart products emerge, such as robots and drones, manufacturers need more customized connector products. To meet the needs of the product, the connector product manufacturer needs to develop new products together with the customer to meet the shape and function needs of the customer to read, so the connector manufacturer needs to participate in the customer's design.
Trend 2, from single signal transmission to multi-signal transmission
Traditional connectors transmit only a single signal, such as video, control, or data signals. As electronic products become thinner and lighter, connectors move from a single signal to multiple signals, and the same cable can simultaneously transmit light, electricity, or other signals. It also helps to save space and improve system reliability.
Trend 3: From passive products to modular intelligence
In order to gain more profits, traditional connector manufacturers are turning connectors from a passive product to a modular product. For example, in the server cable provider, the connector will be intelligent, and the single cable will be changed by adding active ICs. Become a smart cable that can monitor data.
Trend 4, miniaturization, thinning and miniaturization
Nowadays, electronic products are becoming thinner and lighter, and they are also driving the development of even small-sized products, connectors, and small-sized products, such as small size, low height, narrow pitch, multi-function, long life, and surface mounting. So connector manufacturers have to adapt to these changes to improve processes and designs.
China's connector market has occupied about 30% of the global connector market, but China's connectors are mainly low-end, high-end connectors account for a relatively low proportion. From a global perspective, automotive connectors are the largest application market. According to statistics, the automotive market application is the largest application mayor of the global connector, accounting for 22.2%. Followed by telecommunications and data communications, about 21%, in addition to computer and industry accounted for 16%, 12%.
While automotive, communications, and consumer electronics are the traditional main battlegrounds for connectors, emerging areas may bring more business opportunities to connectors. These emerging areas include autonomous driving, AR/VR, robotics, drones, shared bicycle smart wear, and more. These emerging areas have special needs for connectors that drive the diversification of connectors.
If China's electronic products are the same, component manufacturers are moving towards branding, although the connector market is promising, but the current system vendors are fragmented and diversified. If connector manufacturers need to quickly find potential target customers, they need to strengthen brand communication. Such as through participation in exhibitions, seminars, customer case sharing, etc. to deepen the user's understanding and awareness.
December 21-23, 2017 Shenzhen International Electronics Show and the 6th Shenzhen International Embedded System Exhibition will be held in Shenzhen Convention and Exhibition Center. The organizer has set up a special connector area, international famous connector manufacturers and distributors such as Heilind Electronics. (Herlian Electronics), Boao, Haoyu, Ganfeng, Kefa, etc. will participate in the exhibition. At that time, a large number of system manufacturer designers in South China will visit the site to find new products. This is a rare brand communication opportunity, expect more Connector manufacturers show more boutiques on the same stage!
