기판-전선 커넥터 : 시장 점유율 분석, 산업 동향, 통계, 성장 예측(2025-2030년)

The wire-to-board connector market size stands at USD 4.71 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 5.63 billion by 2030, reflecting a 3.63% CAGR over the forecast period.

Steady expansion stems from rising demand in electric vehicles (EVs), compact consumer devices, factory automation upgrades, and low-earth-orbit (LEO) satellites. Order growth of 7.0% and sales growth of 2.7% in 1H-2024 confirmed the industry's resilience despite supply-chain pressures. Surface-mount automation, sub-2 mm pitch adoption, and higher-current designs above 6 A continue to shape product roadmaps. Asia-Pacific retains manufacturing leadership while Latin America emerges as the fastest-growing region. On the competitive front, incumbents rely on miniaturization and thermal know-how rather than price to defend positions, and selective acquisitions such as TE Connectivity's USD 2.3 billion purchase of Richards Manufacturing signal ongoing consolidation.

Global Wire-to-Board Connector Market Trends and Insights

Ultra-compact Wearables Driving Sub-2 mm Pitch Demand in Asia

Sub-2 mm connectors now dominate shipments because fitness trackers and smartwatches require ever-smaller footprints. Molex's 0.175 mm pitch range illustrates how staggered contacts overcome soldering limits while keeping 0.35 mm pads. Metal Injection Molding supports mass production of microminiature housings with tight tolerances. Asia-Pacific manufacturers concentrate the necessary tooling, reinforcing the region's lead. As form factors shrink, cross-disciplinary teams address signal integrity and electromagnetic interference concurrently.

Rapid EV-Battery BMS Adoption Boosting High-Current Connectors

Battery management systems in EV packs increasingly specify connectors above 6 A, the fastest-growing current class of the wire-to-board connector market. TE Connectivity's HC-Stak cuts terminal size by up to 30% and supports aluminum cabling, easing vehicle mass targets. Specialized bushings such as PennEngineering's ECCB maintain low resistance despite aluminum oxidation. Rising EV volumes in China, Europe, and North America create demand clusters that influence supplier footprints.

PCB Real-Estate Shrink Limiting Landing Pads

Connector pads under 0.4 mm challenge pick-and-place accuracy and raise rework costs, depressing short-term growth. Denser layouts heighten crosstalk and thermal hotspots, forcing expensive high-Tg laminates that erode savings. Yield drops prompt some OEMs to delay next-gen layouts until assembly lines upgrade.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

1. Automation Retrofits in Brownfield Factories Raising Sensor Refresh
2. LEO-Satellite Constellations Requiring Vibration-Resistant Connectors
3. Solder-Joint Reliability at >125 °C Under-Hood

Segment Analysis

Sub-2 mm connectors captured 48% of 2024 revenue and anchor the wire-to-board connector market's miniaturization wave. The segment expands at a 3.7% CAGR to 2030 as smartphones, hearables, and implantables shrink boards further. The 2.1-4 mm class remains essential in automotive modules where mechanical robustness trumps size. Above-4 mm products cater to specialized high-current needs but steadily lose share.

Research prototyping 80 µm pitch contacts with <50 mΩ resistance hints at future disruption. Asia-Pacific fabs house most sub-2 mm tooling, reinforcing regional dominance. Designers must co-optimize signal integrity, thermal spread, and insertion force as pitches fall, making this slice of the wire-to-board connector market a nexus for cross-discipline collaboration.

Surface-mount connectors owned 57.3% of 2024 sales, reflecting automation's pull across consumer and industrial lines. Automated pick-and-place lowers cost per joint and limits PCB drilling, supporting a 3.6% CAGR. Through-hole remains critical for power electronics, where larger solder barrels aid heat dissipation and shock resistance.

Rework on dense surface-mount boards is costly because neighboring components block access. IPC/WHMA-A-620 calls for tighter process windows that many legacy lines struggle to meet. Asia-Pacific maintains the strongest surface-mount infrastructure, whereas some North American facilities still favor through-hole for rugged assemblies in the wire-to-board connector market.

The Wire-To-Board Connector Market Report is Segmented by Pitch Size (Up To 2 Mm, 2. 1 To 4 Mm, Above 4 Mm), Mounting Type (Surface-Mount, and Through-Hole), Current Rating (Up To 1 A, 1. 1 A To 3 A, and More), Orientation (Vertical, and Right-Angle), End-User Vertical (Consumer Electronics, IT and Telecommunication, Automotive, Medical Devices, and More), and Geography. The Market Forecasts are Provided in Terms of Value (USD).

Geography Analysis

Asia-Pacific generated 46.7% of 2024 turnover owing to clustered PCB and final-assembly capacity in China, Japan, and South Korea. Incentives draw supplementary builds to India, widening the regional base. Southeast Asian nations lead semiconductor packaging, pulling high-density connectors into local supply chains. These fundamentals keep the wire-to-board connector market firmly anchored in the region for the forecast horizon.

North America combines automotive assembly in Mexico, advanced aerospace in the United States, and medical device exports across the zone. Reshoring initiatives and tariff exposure are nudging selected connector lines back from Asia, yet cost gaps persist. Canada's mining equipment sector adds pockets of demand for ruggedized variants of the wire-to-board connector market.

Europe aligns connector innovation with EV drivetrain rollouts and Industrie 4.0 upgrades. Germany spearheads high-current development for vehicles, while Nordic utilities integrate connectors into wind and grid-storage assets. Strict RoHS and REACH mandates drive global suppliers to adopt compliant chemistries. Latin America, led by Brazil's automotive growth, posts the fastest 5.2% CAGR as OEMs deepen local content to buffer currency risk. Small but rising African and Middle-Eastern projects in solar micro-grids round out global exposure.
