Automotive Electrical Distribution System Market

Automotive electrical distribution systems are embedded devices offered by automotive manufacturers that distribute the electricity generated from the transmission system (powerhouse) to individual components. Automotive vehicles have undergone many technological changes in a short period of time. Currently, vehicles are more comfortable, safer, and more fuel efficient; however, they are also highly complex. The complexity of a vehicle has increased due to the usage of a large number of electronic components and electronic systems that require power/electricity for their operation. This need for electricity is provided by the powerhouse of the vehicle, through the electrical distribution system. The electrical distribution system is responsible for the proper distribution of electricity to all electronic components.

Electronic components are also utilized to control speed and emission. Moreover, an electrical distribution system is required to distribute the power to those components. Usage of electronic systems is increasing in order to satisfy the rigorous norms imposed by regulatory bodies on vehicles, which in turn is propelling the demand for electrical distribution systems. Safety and security are also controlled by various systems as ABS, ADAS, and central locking system. Therefore, safety and security are key factors that are boosting the development of electrical distribution systems. A majority of vehicle breakdowns are caused by electrical failure. Failure in the electrical distribution system is likely to damage the entire vehicle, since it is at the center of the electronic system.

The automotive electrical distribution system market can be segmented based on component, vehicle type, functions, and geography.

Based on component, the automotive electrical distribution system market can be segregated into circuit breakers, terminals and connectors, power distribution boxes, passive junction boxes, channels/ducts/brackets, eyelets, grommets, and fuse/relay holders.

In terms of vehicle type, the automotive electrical distribution system market can be classified into passenger vehicles (PVs) and commercial vehicles (CVs). The passenger vehicles segment can be further sub-segmented into hatchbacks, sedans, multi- purpose vehicles (MPVs), and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). The commercial vehicles segment is further split into lightweight commercial vehicles (LCVs) and heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs).

The functions of the electric distribution system include acting as a power distribution network and as an information distribution network. The electrical distribution system supplies the required amount of the electricity to the individual system as a power distribution network. While, as an information distributor, it provides the information to the system to act according to requirement.

Based on geography, the automotive electrical distribution system market can be segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Rest of the World (ROW). Asia Pacific accounts for a major share of the global automotive electrical distribution system market, due to the high adoption rate of automotive electrical distribution systems and the booming automotive sector leading to an increased production of vehicles with automotive electrical distribution systems, especially in China and India.

Key players operating in the automotive electric distribution system market are Lear Corporation, Hager Group, Yazaki Group, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, ABB, Eaton Corporation, TE Connectivity Corporation., Schneider Electric, SEL, and Siemens AG.
