Increased Adoption Of Electric Vehicles

Governments across the globe are taking initiatives to promote the adoption of electric vehicles. For instance, in 2021, the Indian Government offered a subsidy of Rs. 1.5 lakh on purchase of four-wheel EVs by reducing GST component on electric vehicles. Electric vehicles are environment friendly and aid in reducing the pollution. Electric vehicles runs on electric power and any kind of damage in wiring harness can cause serious damage to vehicles. Therefore, need for technologically advanced high voltage wire harness in electric vehicles is expected to support the growth of the market. 

Development Of Vehicles With Advanced Safety Features

Several automobile manufacturers are taking initiatives to provide enhanced safety and security features such as airbags and advanced driving systems in vehicles to comply with safety mandates. In automobiles, safety features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane departure warning system (LDWS), and others require electronic components along with high quality wiring harness system. This in turn is expected to increase demand for electronic components in vehicles, which is anticipated to further boost the demand for wire harnesses.

Technological Advancements

Technological advancements such as manufacturing of more flexible wires for improved power delivery, wires to withstand more heat, and use of aluminum to replace copper in wiring harness have contributed to development of innovative products. Surge in need to make vehicles safer and reduce the risk of short circuiting in vehicles have encouraged market players to invest in R&D of advanced products. Greater adoption of internet of things to stay connected is further expected to offer growth opportunities during the forecast period. 

Covid-19 Impact Analysis 

The COVID-19 crisis has created uncertainty in the automotive wiring harness market, massive slowing of supply chain, falling business confidence, and increasing panic among the customer segments. Governments of different regions have announced total lockdown and temporary shutdown of industries, thereby adversely affecting the overall production and sales. 

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in supply-chain disruptions causing delay in manufacturing of vehicles. Several automobile manufacturers faced shortage of components related to wiring harnesses, which further resulted in delay in production of vehicles. For instance, in 2020, in South Korea, Hyundai suspended operations at Ulsan complex due to lack of parts. 

The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in a significant drop in global car sales. However, there was a rise experienced in the sale of electric vehicles. Europe experienced growth in sale of electric vehicles owing to increased purchase incentives in Germany, continued declines in battery costs, and technology transition initiated by fleet operators in order to meet the emissions standards set for 2020. 

With upliftment of lockdown restrictions increased demand for vehicles are expected to be observed, which is anticipated to further aid in the growth of automotive wiring harness market. Moreover, various initiatives have been undertaken by different governments across the world to promote adoption of electric vehicles. The growing penetration of electric vehicle requires high voltage wire harnesses to be integrated in electric vehicles, which further aids in the growth of automotive wiring harness market.
