Outstanding characteristics in automotive wiring harness industry

Feb, 18, 2022 JKUN

automobile Wire harness It is the connecting body of automobile circuit and the carrier for transmitting electronic signals and electric energy. It is mainly composed of wires, terminals, sheaths and other covers. As the center of information transmission, wire harness is related to the safety of vehicles and the reliability of electronic and electrical equipment. Automotive wire harness products are customized products. Vehicle manufacturers and their models have different design schemes and quality standards.


According to the data, although the overall automobile sales in 2020 will recover strongly after the epidemic, it is expected to continue to grow in the next few years. In 2025, the automobile sales will exceed 30 million, and the degree of electrification and intelligence will be improved,Wire harness The price ratio will rise year by year. It is estimated that by 2025, the harness market will reach 130 billion yuan. With the deepening of industry competition, it presents the following main characteristics:


Wire harness Strong cooperation between the factory and vehicle manufacturers has improved the market concentration.

Most automobile manufacturers in the automobile industry have their own mature and stable automobile supporting systems. As far as the domestic wire harness market is concerned, most of the large independent vehicle manufacturers have stable supporting production local wire harness manufacturers, while most of the foreign-funded and joint venture vehicle manufacturers are wholly-owned or joint ventures of international parts manufacturers in China, and they have formed a stable relationship of long-term cooperation. However, in recent years, as international automobile manufacturers pay more and more attention to cost control, the localization procurement of auto parts has been strengthened day by day, which has brought opportunities to domestic excellent independent harness enterprises. These high-quality local enterprises have significantly enhanced their overall strength through long-term accumulated product technology and synchronous development experience, and gradually enter the supporting system of international automobile manufacturers with timely and effective service and reliable product quality.

2.Wire harness The synchronous R & D capability of the plant is becoming more and more important.

The interface definition of vehicle harness involves each electronic system, and the principle of harness is closely related to the electrical principle of vehicle, so Wire harness The design of is most closely related to vehicle manufacturers. In addition, the rise of global procurement of auto parts and the industrial division and cooperation pattern formed between vehicle enterprises and parts enterprises make auto harness enterprises have to participate in the design and R & D of new models. Synchronous development requires the automobile harness supplier to integrate into the whole vehicle supporting system, fully understand the standards, progress, quality and requirements of the whole vehicle design, and timely launch the design, verification, production scheme and final product of the automobile harness in accordance with the plan and time node of the whole vehicle manufacturer and the development progress of the whole vehicle. Therefore, in order to improve the vehicle supporting capacity of automobile harness enterprises, synchronous R & D strength is particularly important.


autonomy Wire harness The enterprise has a leading position in the field of new energy.

The driving voltage of new energy vehicles is high and high voltage is required Wire harness Connect each circuit unit. High voltage harness is not only a key component of the high voltage electrical system of new energy vehicles, but also an important guarantee for the safe and reliable operation of new energy vehicles. China's local harness suppliers take the lead in entering the new energy vehicle supply system by virtue of their good supporting relationship with independent new energy vehicle manufacturers. Some high-quality wire harness enterprises have made technological breakthroughs in the field of high-voltage wire harness design and development, with leading R & D strength and great development potential.


Domestic wire harness leaders appear, and mass and lean production have become the commanding heights of competition.

Current domestic automobile Wire harness Although there are many manufacturers, most of them are small-scale, weak R & D capacity, backward production equipment, low quality grade and single supporting models, which are mainly processed by independent automobile enterprises. With the improvement of the overall strength of independent brand parts enterprises, some leading wire harness enterprises that have established brand influence in the high-end and high-quality wire harness market began to speed up the industrial capital layout, integrate industrial resources, give full play to the synergy with partners in technology, customer resources and supporting services, and accelerate the survival of the fittest. 


In the future, China Wire harness The industry will face the industrial environment of survival of the fittest and accelerating resource integration. Based on production costs and quality requirements, high personnel costs and recruitment difficulties, lean production will become the commanding height of competition.
