Abstract

Bishop and Associates, Inc. has just released a 25 chapter report providing a detailed analysis of Connector Types and Technologies Poised for Growth. This new report addresses a list of 20 specific connector types that are expected to experience greater than average growth in either volume or sales based on the rapid expansion of markets for existing and new products that utilize these interfaces. New technologies already driving the market as well as emerging technologies that are poised to influence connector design and/or application are reviewed. A discussion of market trends that are changing the way electronic connectors are used is included.

The key objective of this report is to explore how established, as well as emerging new products will generate exceptional growth of select connector types. The influence of new technologies affects the connector development community, as well as general electronic products and their impact on the design and implementation of connectors. This report identifies key market trends that will drive the sales of 20 identified connector types over the 2006 - 2010 period.

Issues covered in this report include:

Which existing connector types are poised for exceptional volume and/or sales growth?
What new products and technologies are driving connector growth?
Which industry segments will utilize these connectors, why?
Who are the leading manufacturers of these connectors?
How connector manufacturers differentiate their products defined by an industry specification.
What specific applications will drive the growth of these connectors?
