YAZAKI, SUMITOMO, NEXANS, LEAR, AND FURYKAWA- NOTABLE MARKET PLAYERS IN COMMERCIAL VEHICLE WIRING HARNESS INDUSTRY
Wiring harness comprises of the wires, cables, and power distribution system to transmit electric power and signals across the automobiles. With the growth in the number of electric circuits and size as well as the weight of wire harnesses constantly rising depending in the different models. The advanced technologies are being used for electrical multiplexing and signal sharing transmission to meet with the emerging requirement electrification of vehicles eventually understanding the reduction in the quantity as well as size of wires. The growing disposable income of the citizen demand of high-caliber speakers, power window, and integration of small LCD’s creates huge opportunity for the automotive wire harness experts working for OEMs, development service providers and the suppliers.
There are three significant factors in the automotive industry which affect the cable and wire industry. The first factor is to keep the long-term trend of cars on the road, especially the new models getting launched or are planned to get launched, which integrates wiring harness in it to attract the users. The second factor is to make industry-wide design of the vehicle lighter, and more fuel-efficient cars which requires efficient harness design. And the third factor is the upcoming trend of integrating electronic interfaces with the drivers control systems as well as the passenger compartment. Thus, mounting the complexity and number of harnesses in vehicles. The advancement in technology increased the acceptance of educational robots, which integrates AI and analytics. The commercial vehicle wiring harness market is dynamically growing in terms of volume and revenue in recent years.
