Abstract
Bishop and Associates has just released a new 13 chapter research report covering The World Military Connector Market. This report It is an extensive and comprehensive analysis of the current state and future of U.S. military and the applications that drive connector consumption. This new report is designed to help those involved in the military connector business to understand the new direction of the U.S. military and its sub-segments, and to analyze trends and forecasts. The report identifies subsystems poised for high growth and also benchmarks connector market size by category and type for 2005 and 2006, including five-year CAGRs projections to 2011.
With a military budget that is approximately equal to the sum of all the rest on the nations in the world, the U.S. is by far the largest single market for military connectors. However, the fastest growing defense budget is that of China. With economic growth bolstering the overall economy, China is busy adding to its military capabilities.
The connector industry will see a trend toward increasing numbers of commercial products being used in building-block design approaches. This shift is being fueled by the 1994 Department of Defense (DOD) Commercial off-the-Shelf directive that is now well underway. COTS has allowed the military to move away from the traditional ten-year programs of past decades and embrace the advanced technologies of the commercial sector. Gone are the days of application-specific designs that resulted in the military lagging behind the commercial sector by five to ten years. Although no new military specifications will be issued for connector designs, traditional mil-spec connectors will continue provide military applications with interconnect solutions for decades to come
