Market research analysts at Technavio predict that the global PCB connectors market will grow steadily during the next four years and post an impressive revenue of more than USD 22 billion by 2021. This market research analysis identifies the miniaturization of electronic devices as one of the primary growth factors for the growth of PCB connectors market. Though introduced primarily in the aerospace industry, factors such as the need for smaller assemblies in specific applications and the need to reduce material costs have led to the usage of miniaturized devices in the defense, medical, and consumer electronics sectors as well. This demand for reliable and compact electronic devices will in turn, increase the demand for miniaturized and reliable PCB connectors, subsequently driving the growth of the market.
The introduction of stringent carbon emission and fuel economy standards will drive the demand for emission sensors and infotainment systems, which will, in turn, increase the need for automotive connectors. Additionally, the growing safety concerns among consumers will also increase the demand for advanced systems including advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), on-board diagnostic systems, infotainment systems, and electronic transmission, which demand the need for automotive connectors for proper functioning. Moreover, the use of connector technologies can also help automotive manufacturers facilitate space-saving and reduce the overall cost of automotive electronic systems, consequently propelling market growth.
The market is considered by the presence of a considerable number of PCB connector manufacturers. The well-established international vendors dominate the market and are increasingly concentrating on M&A to increase market shares and enhance their product portfolios. The market also consists of a number of smaller companies who concentrate on certain products or regions. These connector manufacturers concentrate on integrating advanced technology for particular products and also offer products at competitive prices, posing a stiff challenge to the international vendors. With vendors increasingly concentrating on enhancing their product portfolios through M&A strategies, the competitive environment among the market players will intensify in the coming years.
