According to semiconductorinsight, the RF Flex-to-Board Connectors Market, valued at USD 361 million in 2024, is poised for steady expansion, projected to reach USD 526 million by 2032. This growth, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%, is detailed in a comprehensive new report published by Semiconductor Insight. The study underscores the indispensable role of these specialized interconnect solutions in enabling high-frequency signal transmission across next-generation electronic devices, particularly in the telecommunications and consumer electronics sectors.

RF flex-to-board connectors serve as critical interfaces between flexible printed circuits and rigid PCBs, facilitating reliable RF signal integrity in space-constrained applications. Their unique design allows for dynamic flexing and vibration resistance, making them essential components in modern electronics where miniaturization and performance are paramount. These connectors are becoming increasingly vital for minimizing signal loss and maintaining impedance matching in high-speed data environments.

5G Infrastructure Deployment: The Primary Growth Catalyst

The report identifies the global rollout of 5G infrastructure as the paramount driver for RF flex-to-board connector demand. With the telecommunications segment accounting for approximately 45% of total market applications, the correlation between 5G adoption and connector usage is direct and substantial. The global 5G infrastructure market itself continues to expand rapidly, creating sustained demand for high-frequency interconnect components.

“The massive concentration of 5G equipment manufacturers and smartphone OEMs in the Asia-Pacific region, which consumes about 65% of global RF flex-to-board connectors, is a key factor in the market’s momentum,” the report states. With ongoing investments in 5G network infrastructure and the Internet of Things (IoT), the demand for reliable high-frequency interconnection solutions is set to intensify, especially with the transition to millimeter-wave frequencies requiring more sophisticated connector designs.
