Abstract
Bishop and Associates has just released a new report providing a complete analysis of The World IC Socket Market. This new report furnishes detailed 2005/2006 sales statistics for both production IC sockets and test/burn-in sockets. Sales by end-use equipment markets are also provided, as well as five-year projections to the year 2011. Expanded coverage of twelve major socket types is supplied and profiles of leading manufacturers are exhibited. This report provides all the key data needed to analyze the World IC Socket Market.
World demand for IC Socket connectors reached $1,888 million in 2006, up +14.1 percent from the 2005 total of $1,655 million. IC Socket represented 4.7 percent of the total 2006 connector market of $35.5 billion.
The IC socket market will increase to $2,844.4 million in 2011, a five-year CAGR of 8.5 percent. In 2011, the IC socket market will increase to 4.8 percent of world connector demand.
This report examines current and future trends in IC sockets. It discusses the effects that international regulations and globalization has had, and will have on the IC socket market. Business and economic considerations involved in the manufacturing of IC sockets are reviewed and the many applications for IC sockets are discussed.
IC sockets are used in all end-use equipment markets. The computer and peripheral sector is the largest consumer of IC sockets, with a total of $582 million in 2006, or 30.8 percent of total demand for IC sockets. The industrial and data/telecom sectors are also large users of IC sockets.
