China's connector industry is ushering in new opportunities. The market will continue to develop in scale and depth in the future

Connectors are electronic components for the transmission and exchange of current or optical signals between electronic system devices. They are one of the indispensable key components in electronic devices and are crucial in the entire machine or integrated system. Its function is to connect two circuit conductors or transmission elements, provide a separable interface for the two circuit subsystems, realize the connection, disconnection or conversion of electrical/optical signals, and maintain signal distortion and energy between the systems. Loss changes, connector quality, reliability, performance, and functions will directly affect the reliability and functionality of various types of complete machine equipment.

Since the 1990s, as well-known connector manufacturers in Europe, America and Japan have successively moved their production bases to China, connector manufacturers have invested in setting up factories in the Pearl River Delta and Yangtze River Delta regions, as well as domestic defense and aerospace, communications, automobiles, The rapid rise of rail transportation, consumer electronics, medical care, home furnishing, industry and other fields has driven the rapid growth of China's connector market. At present, China has become the world's largest connector production base and consumer market.

In the future, with the acceleration of China's economic transformation and structural adjustment, the electronics manufacturing industry is ushering in new development opportunities. Facing the rapid development and overall transformation and upgrading in defense and aerospace, communications, automobiles, rail transit, consumer electronics and other fields, China's connector market will continue to develop in scale and depth.

Data show that China's connector market size will be US$26.9 billion in 2022, a year-on-year increase of 8.03%, and its proportion of the global market has increased to 32.03%. China's connector market is expected to reach US$31.5 billion in 2026.
