Middle East and Africa Press Fit Connector Market

Market Introduction

Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and the UAE are among the key countries in the Middle East & Africa. The growing focus of the governments across the region to promote the use of electric vehicles and increased awareness about energy storage solutions in the renewable-based power sector is expected to drive the demand for press fit connectors. Countries like Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are becoming early adopters of electric vehicles in this region. For instance, The Saudi Arabian Standards Organization (SASO) has plans to issue regulations for the use of electric cars. In the United Arab Emirates, the Road Transport Authority (RTA) has issued advisory and worked to develop efficient charging stations. This rise in the adoption of electric vehicles will increase the production of press fit connectors as this technology is increasingly replacing the soldering technology. For instance, United Arab Emirates promote plans of green mobility solutions and as part of its plan to have 25% of the city’s trips converted into driverless journeys by 2030, the city completed the construction of 200 charging stations in the emirate by 2018, Mounting electronics and infotainment systems in the automotive sector and burgeoning developments in-network services such as 5G are also driving the growth of the MEA press fit connector market. Development of smart cities is the major factor driving the growth of the MEA press fit connector market.

Middle East & Africa comprises South Africa, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and other countries. South Africa recorded the highest number of COVID-19 cases in the Middle East & Africa region and is followed by Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The Middle East & Africa region has a smaller number of companies operating or offering market-specific solutions. The countries such as the UAE and South Africa are adopting advanced electronics such as smartphones, smart wearables, and IoT connected devices. Increasing focus of governments toward industrialization is supposed to drive the market growth in Middle Eastern countries.

The press fit connector market in MEA is expected to grow from US$ 505.18 million in 2021 to US$ 702.10 million by 2028; it is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.8% from 2021 to 2028. Connected cars, driverless cars, modern telematics, and advanced infotainment systems are among the modern trends in the automotive sector, which are bolstering vehicle sales. Electric and infotainment systems require advanced connectors to support faster rates of data transfer. Thus, with increasing electrification of vehicles and the rising adoption of telematics in them, the demand for press fit connectors is also on the rise. These new connected cars will create demand for 15 FAKRA/HSD connectors. The connectors are integrated to establish a connection between coaxial cable and transceivers and receivers located in FM signals, vehicle GPS, satellite radio, cellular communications, and safety applications, among others. Hence, with increasing thrive for advanced connectivity in cars and other vehicles, the demand for the press fit connectors is also increasing. Further, with the growth of the connected vehicle trend, the demand for durable electrical and electronic systems is also growing. Applications such as in-vehicle navigation, infotainment, and electric and hybrid drivetrains require many new connections. As a result, companies operating in these business segments are opting for the press-fit connector technology to augment and replace solder joints. A press-fit connection, which is highly reliable, includes an elastic pin and a plated through-hole (PTH). The PTH is drilled into a layered circuit board that is electroplated, typically with copper, to create the circuit on insertion of the press-fit pin. The press fit connector market players are also introducing new products for supporting evolving needs of the automotive industry, especially regarding high-speed connectivity solutions. Therefore, the growing use of advanced electrical systems in vehicles is contributing to the press fit connector market growth.
