Automotive Harness System Market grows over 5% CAGR during 2022 – 2032
July 16, 2024 | Global Market InsightsEstimated reading time: 2 minutes

The automotive harness system market size was USD 52.2 billion in 2022 and will witness over 5% CAGR from 2023-2032 due to the increasing demand for electric & hybrid vehicles worldwide
As per the report, the market is being driven by several factors, including the increasing adoption of advanced technologies in automobiles, such as electric vehicles, autonomous driving systems, and infotainment systems. Automotive harness system, also known as wiring harness, is responsible for connecting various electrical and electronic components in vehicles, ensuring smooth communication and functionality. Moreover, stringent safety and emission regulations imposed by governments worldwide are compelling automakers to integrate sophisticated wiring systems. Additionally, the rising demand for lightweight and energy-efficient harness systems is further propelling the market, as manufacturers focus on improving fuel economy and reducing vehicle weight.
Increasing automotive electrification to boost battery harness system demand
Based on application, the market is divided into HVAC, seat, engine, battery, body & lighting, chassis, dashboard & cabin, and others. The automotive harness system market share from the battery segment is predicted to witness significant growth through 2032. Batteries, especially in electric vehicles (EVs), require a complex wiring infrastructure to connect them to the vehicle's electrical system. The harness system ensures efficient power distribution, allowing the battery to supply energy to various components, including the motor, lights, HVAC system, and infotainment system. The system also enables the battery to communicate with other vehicle systems, providing information on battery health, charge levels, and temperature. Furthermore, the harness system ensures the safe and secure routing of high-voltage cables, protecting against electrical hazards. The need for efficient and reliable operation of batteries in modern vehicles will boost the demand for battery harness systems.
Lightweight & recyclability of aluminum harness systems
In terms of material, the market is bifurcated into aluminum, copper, and others. The automotive harness system market size from the aluminum segment is expected to grow significantly from 2023 to 2032. The lightweight nature of aluminum makes it an ideal choice for reducing the overall weight of the vehicle, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. Aluminum harness systems also offer excellent corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability and reliability in harsh environments. Moreover, aluminum's high conductivity allows for efficient power transmission, minimizing power loss and maximizing the performance of electrical and electronic components. Additionally, aluminum is recyclable, making it an environmentally friendly option. The use of aluminum in automotive harness systems is steadily increasing, driven by the focus on vehicle fuel efficiency and sustainability.
