Middle East and Africa Press Fit Connector Market to Witness a CAGR of Around 5.1% During 2024-30

The Middle East and Africa Press Fit Connector Market size is valued at around USD 565.20 million in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 5.1% during the forecast period of 2024-30, cites MarkNtel Advisors in the recent research report. The rising use of press-fit connections in automotive circuit boards is driving market expansion. Press-fit connectors are used in diverse vehicle systems such as engine control units, airbags, and infotainment systems.

Modern cars are outfitted with advanced electronic systems like engine control units (ECUs), safety systems, infotainment, and communication modules. These electrical and infotainment systems and modules necessitate upgraded connectors to accommodate quicker data transfer rates. Furthermore, their dependability and resistance to external variables make them appealing to the automobile industry, which is increasing demand for press-fit connectors across the Middle East and Africa.

Moreover, the increased production of consumer electronics in the Middle East and Africa (MEA) increases demand for press fit connections. Electronic production is carried out by companies like LG, Samsung, and others in South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Consumer electrical items that are complex and lightweight, such as cellphones, televisions, computers, washing machines, and so on, require press-fit connectors in their PCB manufacture, increasing demand in the region. Thus, the rising product innovation and continuous launches of unique products are augmenting the market growth and are expected to create immense opportunities in the forecast period.

In addition, the use of press-fit connections in power distribution systems expands market prospects. The press-fit connectors ensure safe and efficient power distribution by providing reliable connections between circuit components and conductors. The planned investment in electrical networks by Middle Eastern countries in order to offer uninterrupted electricity supply to consumers would create significant demand for press-fit connectors, propelling its expansion.

Segmentation Analysis

Compliant Press-In Segment Expected to Hold Major Market Share

Based on type, the market is segmented into compliant press-in and cold press-in. The compliant press-in segment is estimated to hold a significant share in the Middle East and Africa Press Fit Connector Market over the forecast period due to its quality of producing gas-tight and highly dependable connections. The compliant press-in connectors outperform the cold press-in terms of thermal performance, making them more suitable for temperature changes in Middle Eastern nations.

Furthermore, compliant press-fit connectors benefit from high-density PCB architectures. They are an excellent alternative for applications like consumer electronics, which require space-saving solutions proliferating market growth.

Automotive is Anticipated to Account for a Prominent Market Share
