Electronic Connector Market to Eyewitness Stunning Growth by 2033 | BIS Research

An electronic connector is a device that establishes an electrical and mechanical connection between electronic components or circuits. It enables the transfer of signals, power, or data between these components, often through pins, sockets, or conductive interfaces, facilitating the functioning of electronic devices and systems. Electronic connectors were first developed in the late 19th century and have become increasingly advanced and specialized over time. Today, there are thousands of different types of electronic connectors available, each designed for a specific application.

The global electronic connector market is projected to reach $123.90 billion by 2032 from $78.98 billion in 2022, growing at a CAGR of 4.66% during the forecast period 2023-2032. The growth in the global electronic connector market is expected to be driven by increasing demand for advanced and efficient electronic connectors from applications such as automotive and transportation, computers and peripherals, and telecommunications.

Growing demand for fiber to the home (FTTH) and high bandwidth internet is fueling the growth of optic fiber connectors in the market. The key drivers for the RF-coaxial electronic connector market include the need for reliable and efficient transmission of signals between electronic devices and the growing demand for high-frequency transmission for wireless-enabled devices and fixed communication systems. The usage of printed circuit board (PCB) connectors is being significantly driven by the rising use of automation and robots, as well as the burgeoning automotive industry. The market for input-output (I/O) electronic connectors is being driven by an increase in the use of connectors due to the proliferation of various electrical and electronic devices.

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Connectors to Hold Significant Market Share in the Electronic Connector Market (by Product Type)

Based on product type, printed circuit board (PCB) connectors currently dominate the electronic connector market in comparison to its counterpart segments. The demand for printed circuit board (PCB) connectors is increasing day by day with the advancement of technology and increasing usage of electronics in every application. The need for efficient, more compact, and reliable devices from end users is driving the PCB connectors segment in the global electronic connector market. It is expected to see a substantial rise in the product launches of PCB connectors for high-voltage applications in the forecast period with the emergence of e-mobility applications. PCB connectors enable the smooth transfer of both data and power among various components, modules, and subsystems, facilitating effective communication and coordination in automation and robotics.
