Abstract Table of Contents Related Reports

Bishop and Associates, Inc. just released a six-chapter report providing a roadmap for the Connector Industry. This new 2006 report provides industry roadmaps on connector technology, connector market segments, product categories, long-term forecasts, and some input on other electronic components and product sectors. The report is organized into the following segments:

Executive Summary
Technology Roadmaps
Long Term Forecasts Overview
Industry Trends
Electronics Industry Roadmaps Technology Trends
Product Roadmaps

Information used to create this report includes input from Bishop and Associates and other key industry sources. This report is more market oriented and connector specific than the important iNEMI national technology roadmap.

This new report from Bishop & Associates identifies areas where roadblocks or other barriers will occur, and where industry forces are moving in a direction that will impact connector applications. There are forces at work that will shape future connector use, and in some cases radically change or eliminate traditional connector applications.
