Abstract
Bishop and Associates has just released a new ten chapter research report
providing a complete analysis of The World' s Top 100 Electronic Connector
Manufacturers. This new report furnishes detailed statistics that benchmark
the leading connector manufacturers by 2005/2006 total sales, sales by end-use
equipment market, sales by product category, and many other key industry
measurements. All manufacturers are exhibited by 2006 sales, and are ranked by
region of the world with percent year-to-year change. This report provides all
the key data needed to analyze each of the top 100 worldwide electronic
connector suppliers.
The world' s top 100 connector manufacturers recorded 2006 shipments of $33.553
billion. This represented 84 percent of the worldwide connector market. The
balance of the connector industry had 2006 shipments of $6.401 billion, and
represented 16 percent of the total market.
We estimate there are 1,230 worldwide manufacturers of connector products.
Many are very small and only have sales in one region of the world. Many of
the small manufacturers supply a limited line of products to the market.
