Market analysis of mobile phone connector

With the continuous transfer of the global connector production market, Asia has become the region with the most development potential in the connector market, and China will form the fastest growing and largest capacity market in the global connector market. It is predicted that the growth rate of connector market in China will continue to exceed the global average in the future. By 20 10, the connector market capacity in China will reach 25.7 billion yuan. In the next five years, the average annual growth rate of connector market in China will reach 15%.

Connector is one of the most important devices in mobile phones. On average, each mobile phone needs 8 connectors. With the continuous improvement of the mobile phone market, the mobile phone connector market will continue to rise.

Mobile phone connector is an important electronic component in mobile phone, and its quality is directly related to the quality and reliability of mobile phone. Most of the after-sales quality problems of mobile phones are also related to connectors. The types of connectors used in mobile phones are slightly different according to different products, and the average number of connectors used is about 5 ~ 9.

With the development of mobile products such as mobile phones to miniaturization, thinness and high performance, the connection between display module and substrate is more complicated. In this context, the requirements of the substrate for the narrow spacing, low back and multi-polarization of the substrate connector and FPC connector are more urgent, especially for the ultra-thin requirements of mobile phones, which require the ultra-low back of the internal connectors. Therefore, the development characteristics of mobile phone connectors are: low height, small spacing, multi-function, good electromagnetic compatibility, standardization and customization coexist. In order to realize the low back, narrow spacing, miniaturization, multipolarization and high reliability of products, we have carried out in-depth research and development of mobile phone connectors by using digital technology.

This year, Mainland China has officially become the largest connector market in the world. Driven by the rise of 3C brand in Chinese mainland, local connector/cable manufacturers in Chinese mainland have risen, and the production chain system has rapidly taken shape. Some large local cable component manufacturers have been gradually cultivated, including Luxshare, Chang Ying Precision, AVIC Optoelectronics, anytek Electronics and other local manufacturers in China.

According to statistics, during the period of 1999~20 1 1, the regional share of China connectors increased from 4% to 22.5%, with a growth rate of nearly five times. However, this year, while the European debt storm continues to burn and the fiscal cliff of unemployment rate in the United States is still unclear, China has become a relatively stable regional market in the world and the largest connector application area. It is estimated that its market share will reach this year.

The rise of Chinese mainland is mainly due to the booming market demand and the fact that the penetration rate of ICT products is still not saturated. The greater driving force is the gradual rise of 3C brand. According to statistics, during the period from 200 1 to 20 1 1, the PC market share in China increased from 5% to 19%, becoming the largest PC market, and the rise of China market also led to the rise of local brands. In the third quarter of this year, Lenovo officially surpassed HP, reaching 14%. Chinese mainland brand/white brand smartphones began to rise, and the global market share of ZTE and Huawei reached 6%.

China has become the largest LCD TV market, with local brands accounting for 70% of the domestic demand market. Last year, China's LCD TV market accounted for more than 20%, surpassing North America to become the largest market in the world for the first time, which also made Hisense and TCL rank seventh and tenth respectively in the global rankings. On the whole, with the gradual rise of 3C brand in China, local connector/cable manufacturers have been further promoted, and brands such as Lenovo and Huawei have given birth to the downstream outlet of local connector/cable factories.

After the rapid growth of local connectors/line codes in China, the pace of enterprise mergers and acquisitions, emerging applications and international customer layout has been accelerated. Listed companies in China local connector factory played a leading role, gradually driving unlisted companies to string up the downstream application supply chain.

Supply chain settlement of local connector industry in China has gradually taken shape. With the support of local government policies, the supply chain will radiate outward, forming multi-party settlements, including Jilin, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Hubei, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Guangdong, Sichuan and other regions, with the Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta and central provinces being the most complete.
