Connectors are important electronic components that transmit current or signals, and are widely used in communication equipment, medical, consumer electronics, rail transportation, aerospace, military, new energy, automotive and other fields. Affected by the booming development of downstream emerging industries, the global connector market has continued to develop steadily in recent years. The world's top connector manufacturers continue to invest and set up factories in China. The development of emerging fields has promoted the improvement of the technical level of Chinese local connector manufacturers, and the competition in the domestic connector industry has become increasingly fierce. In this context, the Chinese connector market has developed into the world's No. 1 connector consumer market. This article introduces the current development status and trends of the global connector industry and China's connector industry. It focuses on the development and operation of domestic connector manufacturers and the improvement of competitiveness. In addition, as the demand for connectors in mature downstream industries tends to be saturated, emerging fields such as 5G communications and new energy vehicles have become important engines for the development of the connector industry. <<
