Forecast to 2020
The automotive wiring harness broadly consists of six components namely electric wire,
protector, grommet, terminal, tape and clamp. Automotive wiring harness industry is showing
great advancements in increasing the efficiency of the harness. The price of automotive wiring
harness have been declining in recent times due to falling copper prices (one of the raw material
for automotive wiring harness) and several lawsuits against the price control practice of the key
manufacturers. The fall in prices has further increased the demand for automotive wiring
harness globally. In the European Union, six substances used in automotive wiring harness
namely lead, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyls and polybrominated
diphenyl ether must fall under RoHS lead-free directive.
Among regions, Asia Pacific dominated the global automotive wiring harness market in 2013
followed by Europe. Japan is the leading producer of automotive wiring harness in Asia Pacific.
With the increasing automobiles, Asia Pacific is expected to retain its leadership position by
2020.
The pacified European automobile market is expected to pick up the fast growth trend with its
recovering economy which is expected to forward its benefit to the automotive wiring harness
market.
Automotive wiring harness industry is highly consolidated where four major players account for
about 75% of the market. The key market players in automotive wiring harness market include
Delphi Automotive, Furukawa Electric, Lear, Leoni, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Yazaki, Tianjin
Jin-Zhu Wiring Systems and Prestolite Wire.
The large companies have been making organic and inorganic investments to increase their
global reach and cater to the increasing automotive wiring harness demands. For instance,
Furukawa acquired Mitsubishis automotive connector business in 2011 to increase investment
in this field. In May 2013, Furukawa decided to expand the production of its Philippines factory.
Chinese automotive wiring harness company Shenzen Deren Electronics Co. Ltd. purchased
auto connector and wiring harness business of CAEG in 2012. The largest companies such as
Yazaki, SY System Tech, Leoni and Furukawa have been several times penalized for controlling
market prices in North America and Europe. These four companies have been penalized with
USD 187 million in July 2013 by European Union on the same grounds.
