World Connector Market Handbook

Description

Although 2024 was a good year, with connector sales growing +5.6%, no one was prepared for the double-digit growth we saw in 2025

Which region exhibited the greatest growth in 2025? How did this growth compare to other regions. How is this growth anticipated to compare to growth of these same regions in 2026, in 2031?
Which market sector or sectors showed the greatest growth in 2025? Did any of the market sectors show a decline? How are these market sectors expected to perform five years from now? Will other market sectors outperform them?
From 2024 to 2025, which product families saw the greatest increase? Is this growth anticipated to continue in 2026, or will other product families show greater growth? How closely is the growth of a product family tied to the growth of a market sector? To the growth of a region?

Analyzing the connector industry from 2016 through 2025, with a preliminary 2026 and 2031 forecast, Bishop & Associates latest research report, The Connector Market Handbook, details the connector industry by region, top level end-use market/equipment sector, and product type. Utilizing tables and graphs, key statistics are provided for total world, as well as by individual region.

Increasing over $12.7 billion in 2025, the connector industry saw connector sales grow a strong +14.7% from 2024 to 2025. Will we witness this same type of strong growth next year, five years from now and if we do, which market sectors and product types will drive this growth?
