Global and Chinese PC connector industry report, 2012-2013

IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese PC Connector Industry Report, 2012-2013" report to its offering.

In 2012, the PC connector market scale approximated USD8.4 billion. It is common that cable assembly producers team up with connector makers. In other words, most cable assembly producers are involved in a small amount of connector business, likewise, most connector markers set foot in a small amount of cable assembly business.

In terms of the desktop PC connector market, Euro-American companies, Honhai and Foxlink are taking the leading position in the internal connecter market, while a great number of Taiwanese SMEs are occupying the external connector market. When it comes to the notebook connector market, Japanese and Taiwanese players are monopolists since 90 percent notebooks worldwide are made by Taiwanese companies.

In general, large vendors focus more on internal connector business, while small ones are more concerned about external connector business. In the tablet PC field, external connectors are seldom used but internal connectors are largely provided by Japanese companies including Panasonic, Fujikura (DDK), JAE and Hirose.

In 2012, the output value of the connector industry in Taiwan reached roughly NT$158 billion (or about $5.448 billion), of which, 80 percent was contributed by the PC field.
