Times Microwave is a well-known brand in the global RF and microwave interconnect solutions, and its products are widely used in aerospace, 5G communication, radar, defense, testing and measurement, and other fields.
● High-performance RF connectors: including 2.92 mm, 2.4 mm, 3.5 mm, SMP series, which can maintain low loss and stability in millimeter wave and high-frequency bands.
●Easy assembly design: For example, EZ series products adopt no-braid trim technology, which reduces human assembly errors, improves consistency and reliability.
●Wide application coverage: From LMR coaxial cable accessories to complex microwave interconnection components, Times Microwave provides reliable protection for critical missions.
These advantages mean that in order to truly replace competitors in price competition, domestic connectors must continuously catch up in terms of performance and quality control.
One, the market size and price trend of domestic connectorsBackground of market expansion
The global connector market is growing rapidly, with a projected compound annual growth rate of over 6% in the next ten years. As a manufacturing and application powerhouse, China's market size continues to expand, especially in areas such as 5G base stations, new energy vehicles, and industrial automation, where the demand for domestically produced connectors is rising year by year.
The core factors affecting price
●Raw material cost: fluctuations in the prices of copper, metal coating, and high polymer insulating materials will directly affect the product cost.
●Manufacturing Technology and Yield: The production of precision RF connectors requires high consistency and low-loss processes, and yield improvement helps to reduce costs.
●Market competition: The number of domestic brands is increasing, price competition is becoming more intense, and prices of mid-to-low-end products may face downward pressure.
State policies support domestic substitution, promoting enterprises to accelerate expansion while ensuring quality, forming a scale effect, thereby driving price stabilization.
3. Trend prediction
●In the short term (1-2 years): Prices may fluctuate slightly due to fluctuations in raw materials and exchange rates.
● Mid-term (3-5 years): With the increase of localization rate and mass production, prices gradually stabilize and there is a division: high-performance products maintain a certain price range, while general-purpose products see further price declines.
●Long-term (more than 5 years): Technological breakthrough and brand effect will bring differentiation, and high-end domestic connectors will gradually have pricing power close to international brands.
Two, the reference significance of benchmarking Times MicrowaveTimes Microwave's high-end connectors are typically priced to reflect the performance and reliability premium. For example:
●EZ-240-SM-X and other medium and small specifications products pay attention to assembly efficiency and consistency.
●EZ-600-NMH-X and other large-scale products emphasize high power and low-loss transmission capability.
●Millimeter wave microwave connectors series, compatible with future 5G and satellite communication needs.
Domestic substitute products will not only have price competitiveness if they can gradually approach these key indicators, but they will also gain negotiating power in the high-end market.
The price trend of domestic connectors is influenced by the global market environment as well as the progress of domestic brands in technology, yield, and quality control. There will still be fluctuations in the short term, stabilize in the medium term, and have the potential to achieve value increase in the high-end market in the long term. For enterprises that need to balance performance and cost, choosing domestic alternatives reasonably is an important strategy to reduce procurement costs and enhance supply chain security.
