Abstract
Bishop and Associates has just released a new 13 chapter research report
covering The World Military Connector Market. This report It is an extensive
and comprehensive analysis of the current state and future of U.S. military
and the applications that drive connector consumption. This new report is
designed to help those involved in the military connector business to
understand the new direction of the U.S. military and its sub-segments, and to
analyze trends and forecasts. The report identifies subsystems poised for high
growth and also benchmarks connector market size by category and type for 2005
and 2006, including five-year CAGRs projections to 2011.
With a military budget that is approximately equal to the sum of all the rest
on the nations in the world, the U.S. is by far the largest single market for
military connectors. However, the fastest growing defense budget is that of
China. With economic growth bolstering the overall economy, China is busy
adding to its military capabilities.
The connector industry will see a trend toward increasing numbers of
commercial products being used in building-block design approaches. This
shift is being fueled by the 1994 Department of Defense (DOD) Commercial
off-the-Shelf directive that is now well underway. COTS has allowed the
military to move away from the traditional ten-year programs of past decades
and embrace the advanced technologies of the commercial sector. Gone are the
days of application-specific designs that resulted in the military lagging
behind the commercial sector by five to ten years. Although no new military
specifications will be issued for connector designs, traditional mil-spec
connectors will continue provide military applications with interconnect
solutions for decades to come
