1) automotive electronic connectors will continue to be in high prosperity. The driving factors are the electrification and intellectualization of vehicles: in the direction of electrification, the penetration rate of Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) vehicles has gradually increased, and the sales volume will reach 2.99 million in 2021. According to the estimate of Dongguan Dingtong Precision Metal Co.Ltd(688668) prospectus according to the value of 4000 yuan per vehicle, the market scale of Shanxi Guoxin Energy Corporation Limited(600617) vehicle connectors will reach 12 billion yuan in 2021; In the direction of intelligence, according to the prediction of xinsijie Industrial Research Center, with the popularization of automatic driving and the improvement of automatic driving level, the market scale of China's vehicle high-speed connector is rising, which is expected to reach 14.5 billion yuan in 2025.

2) consumer electronic connectors are expected to grow steadily. With the integration of 5g, Internet of things, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, new display and other technologies with consumer electronic products, product renewal and iteration will be accelerated. In this context, the demand for consumer electronic connectors will maintain steady growth and continue to develop to high-frequency, high-speed and miniaturization.

3) the development of connector cable assembly is synchronous with that of connector, and there is a strong demand for localization. According to the estimation of automobile sales volume predicted by Zhixin electronic announcement and automobile industry association, the scale of automobile cable components in China is expected to reach 77.2 billion yuan in 2022. With the increase of the penetration rate of electrification and intelligence, the number and value of connector components will increase. For a long time, high-end automobile connecting components have been monopolized by Tyco, Yazaki and other foreign companies, with high price, long supply cycle, large capacity fluctuation and strong demand for localization. China's leading connector manufacturers such as Suzhou Recodeal Interconnect System Co.Ltd(688800) will produce some components accordingly, and some harness manufacturers such as Dadi Electric will also expand to connector cable components.
