Analyst Perspective
The governments’ encouragement in various industries is one of the factors contributing to the wire harness market growth. For instance, in December 2021, the Government of India announced an extra tax deduction of US$ 1,879.46 on the purchase of an electric vehicle on loan. Due to this, electric vehicles are gaining traction, leading to the massive demand for wire harnesses. Based on material, the wire harness market is segmented into PVC, vinyl, thermoplastic elastomer, polyurethane, and polyethylene. Wire harnesses manufactured using these materials can withstand varied environmental conditions, thus end users purchase wire harness as per the need. For instance, a wire harness made of polyethylene is suitable for use in moist environment, as polyethylene has ability to resist moisture.

Market Driver:
Growing Technological Advancements in Automobiles to Drive Growth of Wire Harness Market
The automotive industry's rapid shift toward advanced technologies is significantly driving the growth of the global wire harness market. To remain competitive and meet evolving consumer expectations, automobile manufacturers are continuously integrating innovative features into new vehicle models. Key technological advancements such as adaptive cruise control, automatic high beam adjustment, self-driving capabilities, and hands-free liftgates are becoming increasingly standard in both premium and mid-range segments. These innovations necessitate highly sophisticated electrical systems, in which wire harnesses serve as critical infrastructure. Wire harnesses function as the central nervous system of a vehicle's electrical architecture, bundling thousands of wires and connectors into organized, secure pathways. On average, a modern vehicle may contain around 40 wire harnesses, incorporating approximately 3,000 wires and 700 connectors—equivalent to nearly 5 kilometers of cabling. These harnesses support connectivity across vital automotive systems, including powertrains, lighting, infotainment, battery management, climate control, and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). As vehicle complexity continues to grow, so does the demand for reliable and efficient wire harness solutions. Recent automotive launches underscore this trend. For instance, in July 2022, Mahindra introduced the new-generation Scorpio-N, which includes cutting-edge features such as the AdrenoX infotainment interface, a 12-speaker Sony audio system, and connected car technology. These additions significantly increase the complexity of the vehicle’s electrical network, thereby boosting demand for high-performance wire harness systems. Similarly, Toyota's teaser launch of the i-Connect system further demonstrates the automotive sector’s growing emphasis on connected technology, requiring robust and adaptable wiring solutions. In parallel, the global shift toward electric mobility is further amplifying demand. The rise of electric vehicles (EVs) and plug-in hybrid models introduces a new layer of complexity to electrical architecture, with additional requirements for high-voltage wiring, thermal management, and battery integration. Wire harnesses must now accommodate the unique needs of EV platforms, from power delivery and energy regeneration to real-time data transmission between vehicle subsystems. Additionally, developments in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology, such as Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s pilot programs launched in May 2022, highlight new applications where electric vehicles can function as mobile energy storage units. This advancement introduces further demand for intelligent and high-capacity wire harnesses capable of managing bi-directional power flow. In conclusion, as the automotive sector continues to embrace digital transformation and electrification, the role of wire harnesses becomes increasingly integral. Suppliers and OEMs investing in high-quality, durable, and flexible harness systems will be well-positioned to capitalize on this sustained market momentum.
