The panel rack mount power connector market's growth is anticipated to be driven by an increased uptake of electric vehicles. These electric vehicles (EVs), which use electricity to operate either fully or partially, replace traditional combustion engines that burn gas or diesel with electric motors and batteries. Improved battery technology, environmental considerations, government incentives, reduced operation expenses, and an expanded charging infrastructure contribute to the increased acceptance of electric vehicles. Panel rack mount power connectors are critical for EVs, as they secure and optimize power connections for EV charging stations, ensuring the safe and steady delivery of power to the vehicle's battery systems. Kelley Blue Book, a US-based Cox Automotive company, published a report in January 2024 stating that a record 1.2 million American car purchasers opted for electric vehicles in 2023. This represents 7.6% of the total U.S. vehicle market, a significant increase from 5.9% in 2022. Consequently, the escalating demand for electric vehicles fuels the growth of the panel rack mount power connector market.
