With the rapid growth of consumer electronics, automotive electronics and communication terminal markets, and the continuous transfer of global connector production capacity to Asia and China, Asia has become the most potential place for connector market development, while China will become the fastest growing and largest capacity market in the world. It is estimated that the growth rate of China's connector market will continue to exceed the global average in the future. In the next five years, the average annual growth rate of China's connector market will reach 15%. By 2010, China's connector market capacity will reach 25.7 billion yuan.

The main supporting fields of electrical connectors include transportation, communication, network, it, medical treatment, household appliances, etc. the rapid development of product technology level and the rapid growth of market in supporting fields strongly lead the development of connector technology. So far, the connector has developed into a series and specialized product with complete product types, rich varieties and specifications, diverse structure types, subdivision of professional direction, obvious industry characteristics and standard system specifications. In general, the development of connector technology presents the following characteristics: high speed and digitization of signal transmission, integration of all kinds of signal transmission, miniaturization and miniaturization of product volume, low cost of product, surface mounting of contact termination method, modular combination, convenience of plug and plug, etc. The above technologies represent the development direction of connector technology, but it should be noted that the above technologies are not necessary for all connectors, and the requirements for the above technologies are completely different for connectors in different supporting fields and different use environments.
