Wires and cables are used virtually in all applications in a vehicle. These wires and cables are manufactured from different types of materials though aluminum and copper two of the most popular types of automotive wire materials. Furthermore, wires and cables are manufactured with different colors, in order to organize and repair them.
Market Dynamics
Increasing automotive sales in leading Asia pacific countries such as India and China are expected to boost the global automotive wire and cable materials market growth over the forecast period. According to statistics published by International organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturer’s (OICA), the automotive sales observed a rise of 9.49% in India and 3.9% in China in 2018, compared to the sales figures in 2017. Furthermore, India and China are expected to be the major contributors in the near future. This is owing to rapid urbanization and changing lifestyles in the region. Thus, high growth of global automotive market is expected to boost the global automotive wire and cable materials market over the forecast period.
Furthermore, rising demand for electric and hybrid vehicles are expected to drive growth of the global automotive wire and cable materials market during the forecast period. According to the Electric Vehicle World Sales Database, the plug-in vehicle deliveries globally reached 2.1 million units in 2018, which was 64 % higher than in 2017. These include all battery electric vehicle (BEV) passenger car sales and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, light commercial electric vehicles in China and Europe, and light trucks in the U.S./Canada. Furthermore, at the end of 2018, the total number of plug-in vehicles sold globally was 5.4 million light vehicles and 600,000 units of medium and heavy commercial vehicles. This rapid growth in the number of electric vehicles will result a high demand for automotive wire and cable materials market over the forecast period.
However, increasing adoption of novel technologies such as Ethernet is expected to decrease the use of wires and cables and thereby hamper the market growth in the near future.
