Commercial Vehicle Wiring Harness Market Analysis

The demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing worldwide, particularly due to the strong government policies that support its adoption and growing environmental concerns. This rise in the demand for EVs is fueling the growth of the commercial vehicle wiring harness market, as wire harnesses play a vital role in handling the energy and information flow in vehicles. In addition, the growing integration of advanced features such as self-driving cars and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) is fueling the growth of the market. Furthermore, the growing integration of fiber optics for high connectivity and increasing demand for sustainability in wiring harness production is anticipated to create an opportunity for the growth of the commercial vehicle wiring harness market. Moreover, the increasing demand for smart wire harnesses, which can be compatible with any vehicle, is expected to further propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Commercial Vehicle Wiring Harness Market Overview

The wiring harness is a collection of electrical cables or wire assemblies that connect all of the electrical and electronic components in an automobile, such as sensors, electronic control units, batteries, and actuators. The wiring harness manages the flow of energy and information inside the electrical system to enable main automotive tasks, such as steering and braking, as well as secondary car functions, such as ventilation and infotainment. Wire harnesses link several wires into non-flexible bundles, making them safer than loose wires and reducing the chance of shorts in electrical circuits. In addition, wiring harnesses are composed of durable materials. They are built such that these bundles may function well in harsh conditions while carrying huge power loads. Furthermore, wiring harnesses help improve the fuel efficiency of any car, which is further raising their demand in the automotive industry.

Commercial Vehicle Wiring Harness Market Drivers and Opportunities

Rise in Demand for Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicle (EV) sales are increasing due to concerns regarding environmental protection and government policies favoring the adoption of low-emission or zero-emission vehicles. Also, governments of different countries are offering subsidies and tax rebates to citizens to increase the adoption of EVs. The government authorities are taking various initiatives to promote EVs globally. Several US states are taking initiatives by providing financial incentives, including rebates, tax credits, and registration fee reductions, thereby promoting EV adoption in the country. For instance, in 2021, the government of Colorado offered a tax credit of US$ 4,000 on the purchase of a light-duty EV. Similarly, the government of Connecticut accepts a reduced biyearly vehicle registration fee of US$ 38 for EVs. Such government initiatives are leading to increased EV sales worldwide. According to IEA’s annual Global EV Outlook 2024, ~14 million new electric cars were registered in 2023 worldwide.

In 2023, the sales of electric cars were 3.5 million higher than in 2022, an increase of 35% year-on-year. As per the same source, electric cars accounted for ~18% of all cars sold in 2023, which was an increase from 14% in 2022. Also, in 2023, of the total number of new electric cars registered globally, China registered ~60% of new electric cars, Europe registered 25% of new electric cars, and the US registered 10% of new electric cars. The number of new electric car registrations reached 8.1 million in China in 2023, increasing by 35% compared to 2022. China is the world’s largest EV producer, producing 64% of global EV volume. Thus, the rise in sales of EVs boosts the demand for wire harnesses as they play a vital role in handling the energy and information flow within EVs.

Integration of Fiber Optics

The growing reliance on fiber optic cables is becoming a cornerstone of innovation and efficiency in the rapidly changing automobile industry. As automobiles become more connected with new technology, the use of automotive fiber optic cables becomes critical in addressing the increased need for quicker data transmission and better performance. Fiber optic cables boost in-car entertainment and information systems, providing passengers and drivers with an unrivaled audio-visual experience that dramatically increases user happiness and overall driving experience. In addition, fiber optics can provide real-time vehicle diagnostics, enhanced driver assistance systems, and autonomous driving capabilities by allowing for quick data transfer, which is critical for split-second decision-making. Its application in automobile design reduces vehicle weight, resulting in more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles.

Fiber optics are critical in systems such as adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, and lane departure warnings, which require quick data transfer. Their application ensures that safety measures are not only more effective but also more reliable, giving drivers a greater sense of confidence. Moreover, using fiber optic cables in in-vehicle communication systems allows for a more seamless and efficient flow of information, which is critical for the proper functioning of modern safety measures. This real-time communication improves vehicle performance and marks a significant step in automotive safety innovation, paving the way for future vehicle technology advancements and moving the industry to greater levels of passenger protection. Thus, the growing integration of fiber optics in vehicles is expected to boost the demand for wire harnesses during the forecast period.
