Cable Connector Market Analysis

The Cable Connector Market size is estimated at USD 110.32 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach USD 156.90 billion by 2030, at a CAGR of 7.3% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

The growing demand for media and entertainment and the increasing penetration of the internet across emerging economies led to the increase in the number of television and internet subscribers and users of smartphones, PDAs, and tablets. These factors created an immense demand for cable connector adapters, without which effective networking cannot be established.

  • The market for cable connectors is booming, owing to the global digital transition. Reliable connectivity, high performance, and efficiency are the major factors boosting the market's growth. High-performance networks are essential for business, manufacturing, security, and media. Furthermore, cables, such as USB Type-C and HDMI, are hugely popular.
  • The growing number of fixed broadband connections over the years has enabled the growth of the market studied. According to ITU, the number of global fixed broadband subscriptions increased significantly in the last five years, which provides an opportunity for the growth of the market studied, as the installation of these connections requires connectors. According to the International Telecommunication Union, the number of fixed broadband connections globally will increase to about 1.3 billion in 2021.
  • The use of cable connectors for miniature applications is rapidly growing. Several key markets, including mobile technology, aerospace and defense, and medical technology, drive the market's growth. Smartphones and other handheld devices also require smaller and lower-profile components, including micro-connectors capable of providing very high data speeds. For example, 10 Gbps board-to-board connectors are standard, and some advanced miniature board-to-board connectors can handle up to 20 Gbps. Therefore, the growth of consumer electronics is having a direct impact on the demand for cable connectors.
  • Furthermore, most data and power connections use RF connectors and cables, and these trends will likely continue with high-speed data, enterprise networking, and industrial IoT applications. With the adoption of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) increasing in Europe and APAC, the connector companies are turning to newer connectors, such as USB, CAT 5/6/7, HDMI, and DisplayPort, to name a few. For instance, in July 2021, Wurth Elektronik launched WR-UMRF (Ultra-Miniature RF Coaxial Connector), an extremely compact high-frequency coaxial connector.
  • However, the factors such as complex fault identification and correction procedure, fluctuation in raw material prices used to manufacture cable connectors, and the development of wireless connectivity technologies such as Bluetooth, and wireless HDMI transmitters, among others, are challenging the growth of the studied market.
  • The outbreak of COVID-19 had a notable impact on the growth of the studied market as it led China, along with other countries, to announce a lockdown and practice social isolation during the initial phase. This factor halted the manufacturing and production of numerous pieces of equipment and machinery for several weeks. Furthermore, various restrictions imposed on importing and exporting critical raw materials and industrial equipment significantly disrupted the supply chain. However, the market is expected to regain momentum with restrictions lifted in almost all parts of the world.

Cable Connector Industry Overview

The Cable Connector Market is fragmented. The relatively lower initial investment requirement enables new players to enter the market quickly. Moreover, acquisitions have been a critical trend in the market over the years as the bigger players are using this to reduce competition and further expand their market presence. Some key players include Amphenol Corporation, Fujitsu Limited, TE Connectivity Limited, and Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.

  • September 2022 - Amphenol RF expanded its AUTOMATE Type A MiniFAKRA product series with pre-configured cable assemblies. According to the company, these assemblies feature a straight quad port miniFAKRA jack on both ends and are designed for low-loss TFC302LL. Furthermore, these connectors are constructed with a closed entry cable interface which limits the size of mating parts to prevent contact damage during mating.
  • July 2022 - TTI, Inc., a leading specialty distributor of electronic components, announced that it is stocking the Industrial Mini-I/O connectors from TE Connectivity. The Mini I/O range of connectors provides excellent shock, vibration, shock, and EMI resistance, in a compact size and delivers reliable high performance in rugged industrial applications. The development will expand the reach of TE Connectivity to new customers.

Cable Connector Market News

  • November 2021 - TE Connectivity announced the launch of new connectors that are designed to work with robots and UAVs. To protect the unit from extreme environments, the connector is encased in a high-temperature rated plastic assembly. The connector is also outfitted with contact position locks to secure the housing during high and frequent vibration events.
  • September 2021 - Amphenol ICC and eTopus Technology announced the development of a 112Gb/s interconnect technology built on their products. The interconnect used 112Gb/s four-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) technology to pack the maximum bandwidth into each communication channel. The technology has been validated with Amphenol's ExaMax2 connector and 1-meter copper cable.
