Automotive Wiring Harness – A Brief Overview

A wiring harness is a bundle of wires specifically connected to create an organized cable system. Small lengths of wires are cut and secured together through connectors to create a single piece of harness. Cars and other vehicles use these harnesses to control electronic components, transmit power, and send signals to every part of the vehicle. In layman’s language, automotive wiring harness acts as the central nervous system of the vehicle.

Automotive Wiring Harness Market Forecast and Trends

Growth Drivers

Expanding Automobile Production

The growing automobile production capacity across OEMs in different parts of the world has a direct impact on the demand for automotive wiring harnesses. New markets are also emerging with domestic production for automobiles. For instance, VinFast, a Vietnamese automaker, is boosting its production of electric vehicles so that it can launch on the US market. Further, the Egyptian Ministry of Military Production and Emirati M Glory Holding are in talks about manufacturing cars in Egypt. These developments are anticipated to drive the global automotive wiring harness market growth in the forecast period.

Increasing Innovations in Automotive Wiring Harness

Manufacturers of automotive wiring harnesses invest significantly in developing new products to gain a competitive edge over their competitors. For instance, Sumitomo Electric recently launched an aluminum harness with high-strength aluminum alloy wires that offers twice the strength of aluminum at half the cost. Additionally, Ford, the American multinational corporation, uses 100% recycled ocean plastic to make automotive parts, such as wiring harnesses. Such developments are projected to offer lucrative growth opportunities to the global automotive wiring harness during the forecast period.

Restraints

Limited Lifespan of Metallic Wiring Harness

The metallic automotive wiring harness has a very limited lifespan since it easily reacts with changing environments, such as extreme temperatures. Such reactions may result in corrosion in the wiring harness and can cause malfunctions, affecting the proper functioning of electric parts, such as power inverter, controller, lights, etc. Additionally, constant introductions of new features in automobiles can put extreme pressure on the wiring harness, affecting its efficiency in transferring electric signals, thereby reducing its lifespan.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Global Automotive Wiring Harness Market

The growth of the global automotive wiring harness market was negatively impacted by the sudden COVID-19 pandemic outbreak. Lockdowns in various parts of the world restricted the production of automobiles and automotive wiring harnesses, which severely impacted the market's growth. Furthermore, the shortage of labor due to social distancing measures made the situation worse. Also, the restrictions on mobility, which resulted in a sharp decline in the demand for automobiles, also influenced the slump the automotive wiring harness market faced during the forecast period. However, the market is anticipated to witness prolific growth in the post-COVID-19 period due to the rising demand for electric vehicles.

Automotive Wiring Harness Market - By Category

Based on categories, the global automotive wiring harness market is segmented into general wires, heat-resistant wires, shielded wires, tubed wires. Due to the predominant use of copper metal wires covered in PVC, shielded wires account for the largest market share. The PVC insulation on metallic covers makes the wire fire-retardant or fire-resistant. Additionally, PVC is also tough and resistant to abrasion, which strengthens the wiring harness, preventing chemical rotting, which is a favorable factor that contributes to the market's growth.

Global Automotive Wiring Harness Market - By Application

Based on applications, the global automotive wiring harness market is segmented into engine harness, chassis harness, body & lighting harness, HVAC harness, dashboard/cabin harness, battery harness, seat harness, sunroof harness, door harness. Among these, the chassis segment accounts for the largest market share due to its wide applications in various parts of the vehicle, such as fog lamps, infotainment systems, turn indicators, headlamps, etc. However, the HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) segment of the global automotive wiring harness market is predicted to grow at the highest rate during the forecast period.

Automotive Wiring Harness Market - Regional Insights

Geographically, the global automotive wiring harness market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Middle-East & Africa. Among these regions, the Asia-Pacific accounts for the largest market share due to the increasing production capacity of automotive wiring harnesses in emerging economies such as China, India, Japan, etc. Moreover, the high concentration of leading automobile manufacturers in this region, such as Tata Motors, Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, BYD, etc., and expanding automobile manufacturers in this region is anticipated to boost the demand for wiring harnesses during the forecast period.
