Bishop and Associates has just released a new five-chapter research report covering the World
Telecom Market for Connectors -- 2005. This report provides a comprehensive analysis of connector
usage in the wireless, wireline carrier and enterprise network sectors of the world telecom
equipment market. Statistics are presented showing historical and forecast connector shipments to
the telecom industry for the years 1999 through 2009.
This new report examines recent and ongoing impacts to this key end-use industry for connectors,
including the following:
- Changes in the end-use industry market structure.
- Accelerated shift of equipment manufacturing to the Far East, in particular, the Peoples
Republic of China, and Malaysia.
- Shift to EMS manufacturing services.
- Efficiencies of electronic packaging and interconnection technology.
Bishop & Associates believes that the combined impact of these developments has produced a
structural change to the telecom market rather than a cyclical one.
