The Rectangular Input/Output Connector Market
New from Bishop & Associates, the 2024 Rectangular Input/Output Connector Report takes a close look at sales, markets, products, and the global conditions that will shape the rectangular I/O connector market in the years ahead.
Bishop & Associates has released a 221-page, five-chapter research report providing a detailed analysis of the worldwide market for rectangular input/output connectors. The Rectangular Input/Output Connector Market 2024 report furnishes sales data by region for the years 2022, 2023, 2024F, and forecasts for 2029F, broken down by key applicable connector types. The world rectangular I/O connector market is complex and diverse. While legacy products in this category, including D-subs, micro-, nano-, and Thunderbolt connectors, are experiencing growth, and several newer products are expanding quickly, including small form factor types (SFP, SFP+, etc.), HDMI and other multi-media connectors, and M.2 packaging for solid state drives, a few older products are in rapid decline. To illustrate, technology production now includes M24308 D-sub equivalents with RF performance to 110 GHz — in standard Size 20 contact cavities — for 5G, SATCOM, radar, and test instrumentation.Cover image
The report covers sales data for 2022 and 2023 with sales forecast for 2024F and 2029F, for primary types of rectangular connectors, and — for the first time — data also includes sales of cable assemblies, reviews distribution, and analyzes major counterfeiting problems. The report covers U.S. and international specifications applicable to rectangular I/O connectors. Major manufacturers are listed with reviews of key suppliers. Both technology and economics have pushed rectangular I/O connectors to the forefront of increased application use. Rectangular (or square) connectors can offer over 21% more space than equivalent circular connectors. SWaP-C prompts for density gain and weight reduction have led to EN4165 replacing D38999 circulars and rectangular EN3682 and EN4644 giving ARINC 600 real competition for newer airframe and ground vehicle communication interconnection. Major appliance connectors are improving reliability by incorporating interconnect reliability position assurance concepts used by automotive connectors. White goods growth is prompting sales of RAST and glow-wire connectors. Computers, vehicles, and even weapon systems are incorporating USB-C within a variety of enclosures. This report is intended for use by those interested in forecasting rectangular I/O and power rectangular connectors by product and industry trends, or for benchmarking comparative sales by product or worldwide versus regional markets. Content includes information on creative specials that will become tomorrow’s standards. The Rectangular Input/Output Connector Market 2024 report is available now.
