Special connectors are key components in weapons and equipment. Core components such as seekers, engines, and autopilots of various tactical missiles require the use of thousands of connectors to integrate the cable network into a complete weapon system. The current level of informatization in the military is constantly improving, and the amount of data that needs to be processed and transmitted in the field of special equipment is growing rapidly. The market demand for high-speed electrical connectors and optical connectors will usher in a broad market space. In addition, the demand for new energy vehicles and 5G communications continues to grow, which is expected to jointly open up a second growth curve for the special connector industry. According to data from Bishop & Associates, the global connector market as a whole has shown a steady growth trend in recent years thanks to the continuous expansion of high-speed infrastructure.

Specialty Connector Industry Overview

Connectors are common electronic components in various weapon systems, and their usage ranks first among all types of components.
Special connectors need to work stably within a wide operating temperature range, and at the same time have the characteristics of corrosion resistance, high impact resistance, and high and low temperature resistance.
In modern aircraft, the number of connectors and their accompanying cable harnesses tends to be directly proportional to the size of the aircraft. For example, the total cable length of a large passenger aircraft is as high as 250km, and the number of required electrical connectors has reached about 4,500.
The special connector industry faces double barriers of technology and qualifications, requiring companies to have the guarantee of cutting-edge technology and reliable process design. In addition, they need to comply with special standards and pass strict qualification certification.

Competitive landscape and leading manufacturers of special connectors

At present, my country's special connector industry has gradually entered the independent research and development stage from the imitation stage. The leading companies in the industry have high R&D investment and can quickly respond to the production and iterative update needs of special fields. At the same time, mergers and acquisitions in the industry in recent years have also accelerated the increase in industry concentration.
The concentration of my country's special connector industry has increased significantly, and the competition pattern is relatively stable.
Enterprises such as AVIC Optoelectronics, Aerospace Electrical Appliances, Huafeng Technology, Yonggui Electrical Appliances, Shaanxi Huada, Hangzhou Aerospace Electronics, and Zhengzhou Aerospace Electronics are the main suppliers of special connectors in my country.
Each major manufacturer focuses on corresponding segments and occupies a certain share of the market.
Among them, AVIC Optoelectronics has the largest share in the special connector market. Its products cover optical, electrical, fluid connectors and related equipment, and are widely used in aerospace, communications, rail transportation and many other fields.
The market share of aerospace electrical appliances follows closely behind, with leading advantages in aerospace, missile launch and other fields. More than 70% of its products are sold to high-end customers in aerospace, aviation, electronics, ships, weapons and other fields.
Yonggui Electric's special connector products are mainly used in various special equipment of China's 11th largest special equipment group.
Established state-owned enterprises such as Shaanxi Huada and Huafeng Technology will successively enter the capital market in 2023, further strengthening the strength of my country's special connector industry.

From the perspective of domestic policy, special connectors are the core segment of the connector industry, and the policy environment is often closely linked to the policy environment of the entire connector industry.
In recent years, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Finance and other departments have issued a series of policies and measures to support the development of the electronic components industry. Documents such as "China's Electronic Components Industry "14th Five-Year Plan" Development Plan" have put forward requirements for the connector industry. Clear development goals and plans.
In December 2023, the National Development and Reform Commission issued the "Industrial Structural Adjustment Guidance Catalog (2024 Edition)" to encourage the development of the "new electronic component manufacturing" and "special materials for the production of electronic components" industries, as well as the special connector industry. The development provides more specific policy guidance.
