The connector industry has been dominated by the low-end market for many years, and has a great advantage in the low-end market. In recent years, connector manufacturers in mainland China are also entering the mid-to-high-end market. At the same time, they have been fighting price wars with the Asian market. Due to their strong labor resources, they are often the winners in the price stand. Now basically all connectors can be bought in mainland China. Mainstream models are mainly used in computer, telecom, A/V products, as well as fiber optic and PCB connectors.

With the rapid growth of consumer electronics and automotive electronics, coupled with the continuous transfer of global connector production capacity to Asia, Asia is recognized as the place with the most potential for development in the connector market, and will become the fastest growing connector in the world and a large market. The future popular connector products will be connectors for automotive electronics applications, terminal communications and consumer electronics, such as fiber optic connectors, IEEE1394 connectors and USB connectors.
In general, the overall development characteristics of the connector field are: high-speed, digital and integrated signal transmission; small size, narrow spacing, and multi-function of product volume; low cost. In addition, assembly technology is also required to develop to surface mount (SMT) and micro assembly (MPT).
There are still many new industries that require connectors, many of which have very high requirements for connector technology, and the mainland still has a lot of shortages in terms of technical strength and production experience. Facing the market and technological changes of connectors, we should keep track of the cutting-edge technologies of connectors, learn new technologies of connectors, gradually get rid of the competition of low-end and middle-end product types, and develop high-end product lines.
