World Industrial Market for Connectors
The global industrial market for connectors represents between 11 and 12 percent of the total global connector market, making it the fourth largest end-use of equipment connector market behind automotive, computers/peripherals, and telecom/data. The overall share of the industrial market for connectors has remained remarkably stable over the years.
Distribution sales to the industrial end-use market much weaker in Asia Pacific, China and Japan than in North America and Europe, where sales remain relatively strong. On average, the overall POP (Point of Purchase) sales to the distribution channels were about 25 percent of total sales in 2011.
The industrial end-use equipment market is so diverse that it offers plenty of opportunities for niche players and specialized connector manufacturers, but the top-10 connector manufacturers in this market do have a combined share of more than 60 percent (2010 sales data).
The diversity of the Industrial Market for Connectors makes it stand out from most other connector end-use equipment markets and the report illustrates this unique characteristic by dedicating separate chapters on the five market segments ranging from Industrial Controls to Heavy Equipment.
