Automotive cables are defined as flexibles used for data transmission and electrical connections in automobiles that are made of aluminum alloy to reduce the weight of the cables in an automobile. Automotive cables are used in lighting, in instrumental panel circuits in automobiles. Automotive cables are used as battery cables, multimedia, coaxial cables, multi-core screened cables, and sheathed ABS Sensor cables. The main product types of automotive cables are copper core, aluminum core, and others. A copper core cable is a collection of two or more copper wires wrapped in a single sheath or jacket. Automotive cables are sold through direct channels and distribution sales channels. The various applications include automotive primary wire and battery cable, brake cable, trailer cable, car speaker wire, and fusible link wire. The global automotive cables market is segmented - 1) By Product Type: Copper Core, Aluminum Core, Other Product Types 2) By Sales Channel: Direct Channel, Distribution Channel 3) By Application: Automotive Primary Wire and Battery Cable, Brake Cable, Trailer Cable, Car Speaker Wire, Fusible Link Wire The global automotive cables market size will grow from $5.4 billion in 2022 to $5.75 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global automotive cables is expected to grow to $7.51 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 6.9%. The increasing demand for automobiles promotes the growth of the automotive cables market. Automotive cables are used in automobiles for starting, charging, lighting, signaling, and in instrument panel circuits. For instance, battery cables in automotive are used to connect the battery to the car’s electrical system. The increasing demand for automotive will require automotive companies to increase their production and in turn, increase the demand for automotive cables. According to the October 2022 report by the Indian Brand Equity Foundation ( IBEF), an India-based government agency for providing economic information, the total number of passenger vehicles including three-wheelers, two-wheelers, and quadricycles produced in June 2022 was 2,081,148 units. Additionally, the market for passenger cars in India was estimated at US$ 32.70 billion in 2021, and by 2027, it is anticipated to have grown to US$ 54.84 billion, with a CAGR of 9%. Thus, the growth of the automotive cables market is positively impacted by the increase in the demand for automobiles. Major players in the automotive cables market are Sumitomo Corporation, Coficab Tunisie SA, Leoni, Delphi Automotive PLC., General Cable, Furukawa Electric, Lear Corporation, Coficab Group, Yazaki Corporation, and Allied Wire & Cable Inc. The growth of the automotive cables market is hindered by the growing availability of counterfeit auto parts including automotive cables. Cheap counterfeited cables are responsible for major revenue loss for authentic cable manufacturers. Apart from being priced low, these cables also increase the risk of accidents because of their low quality. The availability of counterfeited cables forces genuine manufacturers to spend heavy amounts to stop the sale of counterfeited products. According to the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry report, about 20% of all road accidents in India are attributed to counterfeit automotive parts with Rs 2,200 crore revenue being lost by the government due to these counterfeit products. Thus, the availability of counterfeit auto parts hampers the growth of the automotive cables market. The companies in the automotive cables market are investing in the substitution of copper with aluminum in battery cables to save manufacturing costs and reduce weight. Aluminum used is one-third the weight of copper and is less expensive than copper. The replacement holds no significant difference in the performance of the cable. Following the trend in October 2021, Toyota Boshoku Corporation, a Japan-based automotive component manufacturer, adopted the use of aluminum electrical wire to reduce the weight of automobiles and enhance their environmental performance. In April 2022, Suprajit Engineering, an India-based mechanical cable and halogen bulb manufacturer acquired Kongsberg Automotive ASA for a deal of $ 42 million. Through this acquisition, Suprojit Engineering aims to strengthen its Light Duty Cable (LDC) business unit and to gain a competitive advantage. Kongsberg Automotive ASA is a Norway-based automotive part manufacturer. Asia-Pacific was the largest region in the global automotive cables market in 2022. The regions covered in the global aircraft cables market research report are Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, Middle East, and Africa. The countries covered in the aircraft cables market are Australia, Brazil, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Russia, South Korea, the UK, and the USA. The automotive cables market consists of sales of copper-core automotive cables, aluminum-core automotive cables, and other automotive cables. Values in this market are factory gate values, that is the value of goods sold by the manufacturers or creators of the goods, whether to other entities (including downstream manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and retailers) or directly to end customers. The value of goods in this market includes related services sold by the creators of the goods. The market value is defined as the revenues that enterprises gain from the sale of goods and/or services within the specified market and geography through sales, grants, or donations in terms of the currency (in USD, unless otherwise specified).

The automotive lightweight material is engaged in the production of different lightweight materials for the manufacturing of automotive components such as carbon fiber, aluminum, and magnesium among others. Automotive lightweight materials are used in vehicles to decrease weight, increase speed, and improve fuel economy. The main types of materials in the automotive lightweight materials market are metal, composites, plastics, and elastomer. Metals such as high-strength steel, aluminum, magnesium, and titanium are used to make vehicles lighter and more efficient. Composites are made up of a high-performance fiber (such as carbon or glass) and a matrix material (epoxy polymer) that, when mixed, has superior properties to the individual materials. Plastics are used for added strength, flex, rigidity, fatigue resistance, shear strength, and heat resistance. Elastomers are polymers with high viscoelasticity which are used in the production of components that need to withstand extreme temperatures such as hoses, insulators, seals, bushes, engine mounts, and gaskets. The automotive lightweight materials are used for passenger vehicles, light commercial vehicles, and heavy commercial vehicles for manufacturing bodies in white, chassis and suspension, powertrain, closures, interiors, and other parts. The global automotive lightweight materials market is segmented - 1) By Material Type: Metals, Composites, Plastics, Elastomer 2) By Vehicle Type: Passenger Vehicle, Light Commercial Vehicle, Heavy Commercial Vehicle 3) By Application: Body In White, Chassis And Suspension, Powertrain, Closures, Interiors, Other Applications The global automotive lightweight materials market size will grow from $101.54 billion in 2022 to $116.44 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.7%. The Russia-Ukraine war disrupted the chances of global economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, at least in the short term. The war between these two countries has led to economic sanctions on multiple countries, a surge in commodity prices, and supply chain disruptions, causing inflation across goods and services and affecting many markets across the globe. The market size of global automotive lightweight materials is expected to grow to $167.05 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 9.4%. The surge production of electric vehicles is expected to propel the growth of the automotive lightweight materials market over the coming years.
