The high order backlog is what is allowing the connector industry to remain strong. Sales in the third quarter of 2022 were up 10.0% from 3Q 2021 at $22,160 million. Sales in the fourth quarter are expected to slow down. Sales for the year are projected to finish at $83,822 million, up 7.5 percent from 2021.

The industry backlog was $24,846 million at the end of September. This is down $827 million from the August backlog of $25,673 million. Based on the industry average weekly sales of $1,682 million, we have 14.8 weeks of backlog. To date, the industry has booked $67,282 million and achieved sales of $63,935 million.

The connector industry has reported four consecutive months of below 1.0 book-to-bill ratios. This is shown in the following graph. Note, September’s BTB ratio of 0.90 to 1.0 is the lowest BTB ratio ever recorded by Bishop & Associates!
