Background of price fluctuations for domestically produced connectorsIn recent years, the domestic connector industry has developed rapidly, with domestically produced products gradually achieving technological breakthroughs from the low-end to the high-end. However, the subsequent fluctuations in raw material costs (such as copper, gold, and plastic resins), supply chain uncertainties, exchange rate changes, and adjustments in the market competition pattern have led to阶段性 fluctuations in the prices of domestically produced connectors.
● Upstream raw materials: The rising prices of metal coatings and plastic raw materials directly push up costs.
Competition in the domestic market: Competition among domestic brands intensifies, with some manufacturers cutting prices to capture the market, resulting in short-term fluctuations.
●International Comparison: Compared with overseas brands like EDAC, domestic connectors have a significant price advantage, but their fluctuation range is larger.
The impact of price fluctuations on procurement strategiesThe difficulty of cost control increases.
The procurement party needs to pay more frequent attention to market conditions to avoid budget overruns due to rapid price increases.
Supply chain flexibility requirements are increasing.
When domestic connectors replace imported brands (such as EDAC), enterprises usually maintain multiple supply channels simultaneously to cope with short-term price fluctuations and supply instability.
3. Long-term strategic choices
Some customers adopt a "part domestic + part imported" mixed procurement strategy: they retain imported EDAC products for applications with extremely high reliability requirements, and use domestic connectors for general applications to balance cost and performance.
The importance of testing and verification
Under the background of price fluctuations, enterprises often increase the testing batches of domestic substitute products to ensure that performance and quality are not affected during the supply chain switching process.
The price fluctuation of domestic connectors is an inevitable phenomenon in the development of the market, but it also promotes the optimization and upgrading of corporate procurement strategies. Through scientific supply chain management, reasonable price negotiation, and continuous verification of domestic substitute products, customers can completely achieve a balance between cost and reliability, thereby realizing long-term stable development.
