The increase in global automotive production is a significant driver of growth for the automotive wiring harness market. For instance, according to an article published by ACEA, in 2022, about 85.4 million motor vehicles were produced worldwide, up 5.7% from 2021. Similarly, as per another article published by the India Brand Equity Foundation, India's annual automobile production in FY23 was 25.9 million units. In June 2024, the total manufacturing of passenger vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles was nearly 23,36,000. In FY24, the total production of passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles accounted for approximately 2,84,34,000 units. As production increases, more wiring harnesses are needed to assemble these vehicles. Wiring harnesses are essential for connecting various electrical and electronic components, from basic lighting to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and infotainment.

Moreover, the growing transition from internal combustion engines (ICEs) to electric vehicles (EVs) has been a significant driver for the automotive wiring harness industry. There has been a significant surge in the sale of electric vehicles. For instance, according to an article published by IEA, in 2023, about 14 million new electric cars were registered globally, bringing the total number on the road to 40 million. Electric vehicle sales in 2023 were 3.5 million greater than in 2022, representing a 35% year-on-year growth. Also, in China, new electric car registrations reached approximately 8.1 million in 2023, up 35% from 2022. In the United States, new electric car registrations reached nearly 1.4 million in 2023, up more than 40% from 2022. Since EVs require complex and high-quality wiring harnesses due to their heavy reliance on electrical systems for propulsion, energy management, and other functions, this is driving the demand for automotive wiring harnesses. This is encouraging numerous leading players to invest heavily in the utilization of these harnesses in order to gain a competitive edge. Besides this, consumer demand for connected vehicles equipped with infotainment, navigation, and remote diagnostic capabilities is driving the need for more complex wiring solutions that can support high-speed data and multimedia transmissions. For instance, in May 2024, Molex, a global electronics and connectivity innovator, launched the MX-DaSH family of data-signal hybrid connectors, which combine power, signal, and high-speed data connectivity in a single connector system. These new wire-to-wire and wire-to-board connectors are intended to aid in the transition to zonal architecture and handle a wide range of emerging applications that require dependable data transmission.
