Amphenol Corporation (APH)
Electronic connectors, most people abroad. Read October 1, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending 2025-12-31, filed 2026-02-11. Ranked 22 of the 24 Technology companies read so far, by the share within reach now: the sector.
A connector and sensor manufacturer whose filing states its worldwide and U.S. headcounts but no split by segment, so one electronic component pattern applies to a workforce that is 91% abroad.
The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.
What follows from the reading
Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 17% now, 34% at the end of 2027, 44% at the end of 2028, 49% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 49% desk work, 14% people work and 37% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 48% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 41% becomes checking a model's work and 5% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.
Headcount
170,000 employees as of 2025-12-31 (stated). Approximately 15,000 of 170,000 are in the United States.
The filing: “As of December 31, 2025, the Company had approximately 170,000 employees worldwide, of which approximately 15,000 were located in the United States.”
The workforce as industry patterns
| Pattern | Share | Reason, from the filing |
|---|---|---|
| Semiconductor and Other Electronic Component Manufacturing | 100% | By (c): the filing describes the design and manufacture of connectors, sensors, antennas and cable across three segments that are all interconnect products, with no headcount by segment stated, so one electronic component pattern. |
What the filing says about the workforce: About 6,400 employees support research, development and engineering; less than 10% of the U.S. workforce is represented by a union; more than 140 general managers run independent business units; the headcount rose from 125,000 in 2024 with acquisitions.
