Bishop and Associates Inc. announces the release of a new eight-chapter, 196‐page research report providing a high altitude look at several major connector markets, including aerospace, military, transportation, semiconductor, robotics, computers, medical electronics, and silicon photonics. The report identifies key trends over the next decade and how they will impact connector sales.

The electronic industry is entering its 75th year, driven by semiconductor technologies, successive generations of electronic equipment, and more recently, software developments. These forces affect everything – down to the nuts and bolts of the industry – i.e. connectors. It behooves the connector industry to understand these changes, because the next decade will see multiple paradigm shifts that will affect the industry, its customers, and suppliers.

The connector industry is mature, has consolidated, and still includes many niche players. Since all electrical, and most electronic devices require physical connections, this industry will be around for many years to come. However, to achieve more than single-digit/cyclical growth, horizontal and vertical integration in this industry may be significant to future growth. The caveat is to not undermine your core business in the process.
