It is estimated that in 2016, terminal block sales will amount to approximately $2.5 billion, this is up from 2015, but not as great as sales in 2014. Although growth will occur in all regions, China and Asia Pacific will see the most growth. Growth will also not be level across equipment sectors, with some still experiencing negative growth. From 2016 to 2021, this growth will continue with some market sectors experiencing greater than overall industry growth.
