Distribution’s share of the connector market has increased steadily from 2004, when it accounted for only 19.1 percent of world connector sales. In our opinion, distribution’s share of the total market will continue to increase as customers in fast growing economies, such as China and India, embrace the value proposition that distribution provides.

HIGHLIGHTS
  • Connector manufacturers’ sales to distributors have grown faster than the overall market during the five-year period 2004 - 2009 in all six regions of the world. Distributor sales to end customers also grew faster than the overall market over the same period.
  • The impact of distribution on the overall connector market varies widely by region of the world. The region where POP sales represented the largest percentage of total connector sales was Europe with more than 30 percent going through the distribution channel in 2009. POP, however, will
  • account for less than 10 percent of overall connector sales in Japan in 2009.
  • End-use equipment sectors also vary widely among regions. In 2009, the Military/Aerospace market sector generated the highest percentage of POS sales in North America and Europe, but the lowest
  • percentage of POS sales in each of the other regions. Computers and Peripherals generated the most POS sales in China and Asia Pacific, but the least in Europe.
  • Sales by connector type, however, are fairly consistent from region to region. PCB connectors represented the highest percentage of total POP in every region in 2009, while rectangular/IO
  • connectors generated the second highest sales level in all but one region.
  • From 2008 to 2009, POP sales fell at a historically high percentage. It is anticipated that by the end of 2010, 88 percent of that loss will be recovered, placing POP sales 3.6 percent below 2008 levels and approximately at the same level as 2007.
