European Connector Market

SUMMARY

Bishop & Associates has just released a new six-Chapter research report analyzing the European Connector Market. 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 2006, 2007, and a 2012 forecast.

This report supplies detailed statistics for the following 25 countries:

• Austria
• Italy
• Hungary
• Bulgaria
• Ukraine
• Norway
• Belgium
• Netherlands
• Czech Republic
• Estonia
• Turkey
• Switzerland
• Finland
• Portugal
• Poland
• United Kingdom
• France
• Spain
• Slovakia
• Denmark
• Germany
• Slovenia
• Romania
• Sweden
• Ireland

The developments in international markets and electronic production have become very dynamic in the past two decades. From the age of internationalization in which manufacturers set up quasi permanent locations abroad we moved in to the age of globalization which involves moving production locations all over the globe to those areas where end-use markets develop or where production is most cost efficient. The speed at which these changes are taking place is increasing and specialized production companies (EMS providers) have emerged to take over (part of) this effort from OEMs.

The results is that tracking the connector market performance has become equally dynamic and market volumes by location are much more volatile than several decades ago. This means that market research data by country will become outdated faster and has to be updated more frequently.

In an attempt to underline the changes that have taken place in Europe the past two decades on political, economical and social levels Bishop & Associates has now consolidated all European connector markets from Western Europe to Central and Eastern Europe into one concise research report.

Although is it clear that the market dynamics are not the same between Western Europe and Central and Eastern Europe (the CEE region), we can, at the same time, no longer separate these regions in terms of political, economical and social development. Most CEE countries in this report are now part of the European Union and some are getting ready to adopt the Euro. Slovenia already has.
