Introduction

Abstract

Bishop and Associates has just released a new six-chapter research report, The Future of Electronics Manufacturing in North America - Impact on Connectors. This new report profiles the North American electronics manufacturing industry and its electronic connector market. Some elements of this report were several years in the making, drawing on our analyst' s long experience in the electronics industry, North America' s multiple phases of off-shoring, outsourcing, and involvement in government/industry initiatives that have attempted to address the globalization issue as it impacts the domestic manufacturing market, yet strengthens North American OEM' s global competitiveness.

The report' s foundation includes eight years of experience compiling the Connector Roadmap with the International Electronics Manufacturing Initiative. It also includes extensive experience in the industry, including NIST' s Advanced Technology Program, the Department of Commerce and Census Bureau data, IEEE National Innovation Forum, DARPA, and other U.S. competitiveness initiatives.

Main Points of Interest

  • Continuing trends in outsourcing and off-shoring.
  • Growth in emerging markets, particularly China.
  • Low-to-negative growth in some domestic markets (based on where equipment is manufactured).
  • Issues relating to domestic manufacturing infrastructure.
  • Detailed connector industry forecasts and cyclical scenarios.
  • Potential government and private sector actions.

This report is a snapshot of the huge, complex North American electronics manufacturing market and the connector industry, which are operating in an increasingly global marketplace, and insight into how we can strengthen North American markets going forward. It is a non-agenda-driven analysis, which points out areas of concern in manufacturing, and includes concerns about the future of domestic design, which is linked to manufacturing.

The report should help those involved in the electronics industry better understand these trends. Interested parties include OEM, EMS, ODM, electronic component manufacturers, and specifically, connector suppliers.

This is also good information for the investment community, strategic planners, government personnel, and managers and executives with interests in the future of this strategically important industry.

The report includes detailed forecasts of North American, regional, and global connector markets, with an emphasis on North America, China, and Asia-Pacific. It details, as a strategic example, Taiwan' s transition from an upstart to an electronics design and manufacturing powerhouse, to a country strategically linked to outsourcing and electronic assembly in China. This is supported by strong industry-government cooperation in the planning process, with a very successful track record. Taiwan dominates several electronic product categories, often behind-the-scenes for major OEMs.
