Summary

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the market detailing connector consumption by country, with details by end-use equipment sector, and connector product category. Sales are provided for the years 2005, 2006, and a 2011 forecast.

The 15 European countries represented in this report make up the bulk of the European Connector Market. European Union members Greece, Luxembourg, Cyprus, and Malta, together with Iceland and the various city-states make up the group 'Others'.

The European connector market grew by an average of +5.8% per year (CAGR) between 2001 and 2006.

Although most European countries registered higher than average growth, the United Kingdom and Italy (the second and fourth biggest connector markets in Europe) have been declining and have had a negative influence on the overall average growth rate.

Germany and France have been growing at a rate close to the average, both with a compound average growth rate of +6.2% per year.

Finland has recorded exceptional growth. After the collapse and recovery of the telecommunications market, the Finnish connector market has achieved high growth rates and recovered quickly.

The Spanish connector market also performed well, and growing +12.4% per year on average.

Market Growth in US Dollars

In the next five years (2006-2011) we expect the Nordic countries to grow a rate close to 5% per year. Ireland and Spain will outperform other European countries. Italy will not grow at the European average, and Germany's connector growth will remain modest as well. The remaining countries will grow at either some percentage points above or below the European average CAGR of +3.3%.

Although the market has largely recovered from the 2000 and 2001 recession and the collapse of the telecom/data market, this market sector has never reached the sales levels achieved before the collapse. The market has bounced back, but large chucks of the production capacity have migrated elsewhere and are no longer in Western Europe.

Manufacturing of computer products and consumer electronics has moved out of Europe to China, Asia and Eastern Europe. The automotive industry is moving further East to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Russia.

Industrial equipment production, a traditional stronghold of Germany, has been less effected, as the production runs are usually smaller and systems more complex. The market for renewable energy like wind power and solar energy is booming in Western Countries (including the USA). For Photovoltaic, Heavy Duty and Power connectors these will be lucrative applications.

Military and Aerospace applications remain highly sensitive and will not be moved elsewhere in the future.

Europe may also continue to perform well in the transportation sector as trains, planes and heavy vehicles become more sophisticated, complex, and require advanced engineering capabilities. Engineering for these products will probably remain in Europe with some of the manufacturing of parts being outsourced elsewhere. For example, Airbus unveiled restructuring plans during 2006 including further expansion of Airbus' global (manufacturing) footprint.

The automotive industry, by far the biggest connector market in Europe, remains under pressure and production capacity build-up will continue in Central and Eastern Europe while the production of new vehicles in Western Europe will not increase.

Five-Year Forecast by Market Sector

As expected the computers and peripherals connector market will further decline in Europe over the next five years. The medical equipment sector will be the fastest growing market sector. The transportation (non-auto) sector is also growing at a good rate, with a CAGR of 5.9%. These are markets in which Western European countries will be able to compete in the global market place. The telecommunications market will grow at a CAGR of 3.7%, driven by the continuing wireless/mobile communication boom.
