The scope of the report extends to sizing of the automotive connectors market and global market trends with market data for 2024 as the base year, 2025 and 2026 as the estimate years with projection of CAGR from 2027 to 2032.
The report also features a list of the top ten largest global players in the market. A review of each company includes 1) an estimate of the market share, 2) a listing of the products and/or services in the market, and 3) the features of these products and/or services in the market. The report has a chapter on Comparative Business Strategies for the largest four players. An example of the Comparative Business Strategies analysis would be -- How does Netflix's business strategy to expand its market share in the global online streaming compare to Amazon Prime's business strategy through its video products and services?
The ten market players in this report and a brief synopsis of their participation in the market are:
TE Connectivity, Amphenol, Aptiv, Molex, Yazaki, Sumitomo Electric (and Sumitomo Wiring Systems), J.S.T. (JST), Hirose Electric, Rosenberger, and Foxconn (FIT) are among the ten major companies supplying automotive connectors, each combining broad product portfolios, global OEM relationships, and investments in EV and ADAS-ready interconnects to lead the market. TE Connectivity is widely recognized as the largest global connector supplier with extensive automotive offerings spanning high-voltage EV connectors, board-to-board and wire-to-wire systems, and ruggedized solutions for harsh environments. Amphenol maintains a top-tier position with a vast range of automotive interconnects, high-ampacity power solutions, and strategic acquisitions that extend its market reach and scale in automotive and telecom applications. Aptiv focuses on advanced electrical architectures and high-voltage connectors for electrified powertrains as well as high-speed data and safety-critical connectors for ADAS and autonomous platforms, positioning it as a leader for software-defined and connected vehicle architectures. Molex brings strengths in miniaturization, hybrid power-signal solutions, and EV charging interfaces, serving OEMs with compact, high-density connectors and cable assemblies for vehicle electronics and infotainment systems.
Yazaki and Sumitomo (including Sumitomo Wiring Systems) are dominant in wiring harnesses and large-scale vehicle electrical distribution, combining connector modules with integrated harness solutions that remain essential to mass-production OEM supply chains in Asia and globally. J.S.T. (Japan Solderless Terminals) and Hirose Electric supply critical small-form-factor board-to-board, wire-to-board, and micro-connectors used across infotainment, body electronics, and sensor modules; their expertise in precision, high-reliability miniature interconnects supports compact electronic control units and telematics devices. Rosenberger specializes in high-frequency and data connectors, RF interconnects, and high-speed automotive data cabling needed for in-vehicle networks, 5G vehicle connectivity, and advanced driver assistance systems that demand signal integrity at scale. Foxconn Interconnect Technology (FIT) has grown rapidly via acquisitions and partnerships to enter automotive interconnects and EV charging ecosystems, leveraging Foxconn’s manufacturing scale to supply modular charging solutions, high-power connectors, and integrated assemblies for new EV platforms.
Collectively these ten suppliers address the industry drivers of electrification, autonomous driving, and increased in-vehicle data bandwidth by expanding high-voltage product lines, developing robust high-speed data connectors (including USB‑C and automotive Ethernet interfaces), and scaling wire‑to‑wire, wire‑to‑board, and board‑to‑board assemblies for first‑fit OEM applications. Regional strengths vary: Japanese firms (Yazaki, Sumitomo, JST, Hirose) retain deep ties to Asian OEMs and harness manufacturing, European/US-headquartered leaders (TE Connectivity, Amphenol, Molex, Aptiv, Rosenberger) excel in diversified global platforms and EV‑grade innovation, and Taiwanese/Chinese players (Foxconn/FIT and suppliers across China) provide high-volume manufacturing and rapid integration into EV supply chains. Market research and industry rankings consistently place TE Connectivity, Amphenol, and Molex at the top by market share while highlighting the growing importance of specialized data and high‑voltage connectors from Rosenberger, Aptiv, and newer entrants scaling through acquisitions and partnerships.
