Abstract

Multiplication of Electronic Equipment on Vehicles Spurs Demand for Wire Harnesses and Connectors

As the amount of electronic components in the car increases, so will demand for wire harnesses from original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). Wire harnesses are the electrical backbones of vehicles, distributing electricity to power door locks, windows, mirrors, lights, seats, and other features. The introduction of onboard computers, navigation systems, telematics, and infotainment systems will bolster the need for harnesses over the forecast period. This Frost & Sullivan research examines the markets for both wire harnesses and the connectors that attach them to other vehicle components. It pinpoints market drivers and restraints and presents accurate forecasts for each segment. With such a comprehensive guide to the field, your company will be poised to capitalize on emerging opportunities.

Price Pressures Mount for Market Participants

"The automotive OE market is driven primarily by cost considerations," says the analyst responsible for this report. Given such highly competitive new vehicle markets, automakers are forced to reduce total car prices to remain competitive. As a result, automobile manufacturers are applying pressure to suppliers to deliver low-cost products without sacrificing quality.

"The challenge for harness and connector producers is to remain profitable while reducing costs," states the author. Smaller participants will be significantly impacted by pricing pressures, as they struggle to maintain profit margins while competing with higher-volume suppliers. This study tracks pricing trends and identifies emerging challenges, allowing your company to anticipate and overcome any hurdles that might lay ahead.

Focus on Product Innovation Essential for Industry Winners

"Technological innovation is a key competitive factor in these markets," says the analyst. In the past, wire harness suppliers built components to automaker specifications. But now harness suppliers must be full-service providers. Successful manufacturers undertake the majority of product engineering for their customers to ensure that they are an integral part of the solution.

Automakers are looking to reduce the size and weight of wire harnesses and connectors. "Suppliers that can design and develop new technologies that allow for size, weight, and cost savings will definitely have a competitive advantage over other market participants," according to the analyst. This report devotes a full chapter to technology trends, enabling your company to optimize resources and focus on areas that will best meet customer needs.
