Power Connector Market By Type (Low Duty, Medium Duty, Heavy Duty), By Application (Automotive, Aerospace, Data Communication, Others) - Growth, Future Prospects And Competitive Analysis 2019 - 2027

Increasing automotive production to drive the overall sales

Power is vital when it comes to electronics. Power connectors act as the vital connection between a device and its power source. Power connectors are devices that enable an electrical current to flow through it for the sole purpose of supplying a device with power. Power connectors are designed to carry both A.C. as well as D.C. supply. A.C. plugs and sockets enable connecting devices to a building's primary power supply. Depending on the national standards of your country, these plugs and sockets vary in current rating, voltage, design, and size. There are several standard types of non-interchangeable D.C. connectors, preventing users from accidentally trying to connect an incompatible socket and plug. These connectors are primarily used for transferring energy, and this is a task they do admirably. A considerable chunk of connectors is expected to consume the adoption of wireless technologies such as Wi-Fi, R.F., and Bluetooth. This factor paves the way to witness growth for this market. In addition, growing technology penetration, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), is expected to help increase demand for high-performance and secure data connectivity and transmission. This factor, in turn, may increase power connector demand.

Market Synopsis

Automotive To Lead The Global Market Throughout 2027

In terms of application, the automotive segment led the global power connectors market in 2018 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance throughout the forecast period. This segment accounted for a share of more than 38% in 2018. Technological advances have introduced many new vehicle safety features, such as adaptive cruise control, adaptive front lighting, lane departure warning, and park assistance. Such functions require a large number of sensors, components of electronics, and ECUs. Different types of connectors are used to establish reliable connectivity between these components. In addition, the introduction of machine learning and V2V communication has increased the safety of the vehicle. Therefore, connectors play a crucial role in the smooth functioning of any vehicle and the many electronic devices it features, from power distribution to running GPS navigation-based features. Any malfunction in connectors may result in severe failure of the function. Manufacturers are thus focused primarily on research and development initiatives to produce high-quality connectors that provide continuous functioning.

The Asia Pacific to Register a Considerable Growth Rate

Due to the increasing focus on energy management and technological advances, Asia-Pacific is expected to record a significant growth rate in the power connector market over the forecast period. The growing Asia-Pacific data center services (due to numerous multinational and domestic companies turning to colocation solutions and cloud service providers (CSPs)) are fueling the demand for power connectors in the region. Major companies such as Google are planning to set up their data centers in China to cater to their growing businesses. This is mainly attributed to the low cost of manufacturing and labor. Similarly, Japan is expected to boost the data center services market with its primary colocation markets in Osaka, Tokyo, Nagoya, and Indonesia. These countries give a boost to the growth of the market for power connectors.

Some of the key manufacturers operating in the global power connectors market include Molex, Igus, T.E. Connectivity, CLIFF Electronic Components, Amphenol, CUI, Samtec, Harwin, Foxconn, NBC, Hirose Electric, Bulgin, Belden, Furutech, ITT, G.E., Kyocera, Glenair, Anderson Power Products, Methode Electronics, Aerospace Electronics, Phoenix Contact, and Binder among others. In addition, major players are adopting several marketing strategies such as acquisitions & mergers, product launch, product innovation, geographical expansion, and partnerships in order to maintain their goodwill in the ever-competitive market.
