With the rapid growth of consumer electronics, automotive electronics, communication terminal markets and the continuous transfer of global FFC cable connector production capacity to Asia and China, Asia has become the place of FFC cable connector market development potential, and China will become the global FFC cable connector market with fast growth and large capacity. It is estimated that in the future, the growth rate of China's FFC cable connector market will continue to exceed the global average. In the next five years, the annual growth rate of China's FFC cable connector market scale will reach 15%. By 2010, China's FFC cable connector market capacity will reach 25.7 billion yuan.
The main supporting fields of FFC connectors are transportation, communication, network, it, medical treatment, home appliances, etc. the rapid development of product technology level and the rapid growth of market in the supporting fields strongly lead the development of FFC connectors. Up to now, FFC cable connector has developed into a series and specialized product with complete product types, rich varieties and specifications, diverse structure types, subdivision of professional direction, obvious industry characteristics, standard system specifications.
In general, the development of FFC cable connector technology shows the following characteristics: high speed and digitalization of signal transmission, integration of all kinds of signal transmission, miniaturization of product volume, low cost of product, surface of contact termination, modular combination, convenience of plug-in, etc. The above technology represents the development direction of FFC cable connector technology, but it needs to be noted that the above technology is not required for all FFC cable connectors, and the requirements for the above technology are totally different for FFC cable connectors in different supporting fields and different use environments.
