Core Connection: The "Neural Network" of Industrial Interconnection

Whether it is the strategic promotion of "Made in China 2025" and "Industry 4.0", or the popularization of technologies such as new energy vehicles, 5G communication, and the Internet of Things, their core goals cannot be separated from three key connections - collaboration between devices, interaction between devices and people, and interoperability between people and data. And all of these connections cannot be achieved without the basic support of connectors and industrial wiring harnesses, which are like the "neural network" of industrial interconnection, running through many fields such as electronics, home appliances, automobiles, aerospace, and precision instruments.

Market Opportunity: Dual Test of Demand Surge and Technological Upgrade

Connectors and industrial wiring harnesses not only have the advantages of easy installation and strong adaptability, but also have a huge market demand. Currently, the rapid rise of the new energy vehicle industry, the widespread adoption of smart home appliances and electronic devices, coupled with the large-scale implementation of 5G applications and the deep penetration of industrial automation, have brought explosive market opportunities to the connector and wiring harness industry, as well as higher requirements for product technical performance, reliability, and safety. The industry is facing a dual test of "surge in demand and technological upgrading".

New Energy Vehicles: Opportunities and Breakthroughs in Core Growth Points

In the core growth point of new energy vehicles, industry opportunities and challenges are particularly prominent. According to relevant reports from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the annual production of new energy vehicles in China has approached 2 million units in 2020. The rapid expansion of the market has made electronic and electrical systems in the process of vehicle electrification a key support for determining the reliability and safety of the entire vehicle, and a core focus of attention for major vehicle and component companies. In the research and production of NIO's first mass-produced SUV ES8, TE Connectivity (hereinafter referred to as TE), a globally leading provider of connectivity solutions, provided comprehensive technical support and safety guarantees for the vehicle with innovative technology solutions and excellent local manufacturing capabilities.

TE empowerment: Technological innovation solves core industry problems

TE has a wide product portfolio, years of accumulated global technical experience, and strong local R&D and manufacturing capabilities in the field of new energy vehicles, which lays a solid foundation for our deep cooperation with local car companies such as NIO. ”Mr. Shen Weiming, Vice President and General Manager of TE China Automotive Division, stated. Relying on the advantages of connection, sensing, and protection solutions in high-voltage electrical system architecture, TE is helping new energy vehicle companies overcome core challenges such as vehicle safety, range, and cost control, fully unleash the value of the industry chain through technological innovation, and promote the development of the new energy vehicle industry towards a safer, more efficient, and sustainable direction. It is worth noting that TE has participated in the ICH Shenzhen exhibition for two consecutive years and brought more targeted industry application solutions and innovative products to the exhibition site in 2018, continuously empowering industrial upgrading.

Industry Landscape: Dual Empowerment of Industrial Strength and 'Made in China'

Seemingly compact connectors are often closely linked to the overall industrial strength of a country in terms of industry development level. The label of "Made in Germany" as "high-quality, efficient, and innovative" is renowned worldwide, and its connector industry also occupies a core position in the German electronic and electrical industry system with its top-notch technological level. At the same time, since the proposal of the "Made in China 2025" strategy, which is the Chinese version of "Industry 4.0", it has continued to promote the concept of "Made in China", and the grand goal of building a strong manufacturing country has brought unprecedented development opportunities for the domestic connector and wire harness industry. With the continuous improvement of local enterprise technology research and development capabilities, the Chinese connector industry is accelerating its transformation towards high-end and intelligent products, helping "Made in China" occupy a more important position in the global industrial landscape.
