With an academically focused appendix, this 8 -chapter, 389 -page report examines the way in which advanced technologies and expanded applications have created exceptional growth for the RF coax connector industry. This is further enforced as the report details how the RF coax connectors market is projected to have the second highest growth rate of all connector types, with a CAGR of 9.0%, from 2025F to 2030F.
The report presents past, 2022 & 2023, recent, 2024, and future, 2025F and 2030F sales results and forecasts, plus details on the newest coax connector product developments from the smallest MHF*, to higher frequency 1.35, 0.8-, and 0.6-mm connectors, and industry standards including IEEE-287-2021, MOSA, VITA, and MIL-Spec revisions, with application discussions, and reviews of primary suppliers. The report highlights the importance of miniaturization and higher frequency capabilities, with connectors now operating above 145 GHz.
The report also highlights the significance of international suppliers and standards with an illustrated section on the Next Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) Alliance of the MQ4/MQ5 cluster connector developed by Huawei for 5G cluster antenna interface.
With the defense industry increasingly adopting mmWave technology for enhanced communication capabilities, the "World RF Coax Connector Market 2025" report shows how the need for higher bandwidth and secure connections with emphasis on SWaPC2 is shaping this industry.
Included in the report is a detailed chapter on the billiondollar waveguide market, a market that has proven to be essential for high-speed data transmission, communications, and IoT applications, spanning military, aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors. The discussion regarding RF cables and assemblies includes overall market size and new cable technology.
