Automotive wiring harness is an assembly of cables used in the integration of various electronic components. Also known as cable assembly, it helps in transmitting power to different modules in an automotive. It is one of the main components as it handles the complete current flow across all the components of a vehicle including its lights, wipers, electrical devices and other electronic components. Technical developments in the automotive segment have augmented the fitting trend of many high end microelectronics and security features into the automobile. The automotive wiring harness facilitates safe, compact and simple functioning of the electronic devices installed in the automobile.
Drivers, Restraints & Trends
The global automobile industry registered an annual growth rate of over 5.5% from 2010 to 2015, and is estimated to be valued at US$ 5.1 Trn by end of 2015, which in turn is expected to fuel the global demand for automotive wiring harness. Increasing fuel costs and stringent government regulations regarding CO2 emissions are boosting demand for electric vehicles in regions such as North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe and Asia Pacific. Governments across various geographies have mandated use of certain electronic safety features, such as Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and other features, in automotive. Furthermore, increase in demand for high-end electronic and safety features in vehicles, particularly passenger cars, along with cost reduction and enhanced reliability, is leading to rise in demand for automotive wiring harnesses globally. Use of automotive Ethernet by automotive OEMs represents a new trend in the external as well as internal electronic devices connectivity in an automobile. These automotive Ethernets minimise the use of complex wiring harness structures to a great extent and, thereby, may act as a restraint for growth of the global automotive wiring harness market in the coming years. Growing demand for connectivity and car digitisation, which not only helps establish connectivity within the integral parts of a vehicle but also enables communication with other vehicles through improved and intelligent roadway infrastructure, is an emerging trend in the market.
