Report Summary
The need to reduce cost, cut emissions, improve fuel economy and safety are the main forces driving the electrical and electronic
distribution systems (EEDS) market. Manufacturers point out that the increasing use of electronics hard- and software can
significantly help address these concerns.
The popularity of hybrid vehicles is also placing demands on EEDS. For instance, the additional voltage level for the electric drive
must be safely distributed between the assemblies of equipment. Furthermore, the already existing demand for weight reduction
becomes far more critical when the extra weight of the electro-motor and hybrid battery is considered. In today's hybrid vehicles, the
conventional electrical system and the hybrid electrical system are, for the most part, separate.
For manufacturers, the increase in the content and complexity of electrical and electronic components also requires a broader overall
design perspective. This shift in design philosophy is, as Lear Corp describes it, 'moving from the wire itself to the wire ends',
reflecting a view that design should include both the wiring and the electromechanical and electronic devices to which they are
connected.
In this fifth edition report, just-auto has added an additional 3,000 words over the previous edition, reviewing the key market drivers for
vehicle electrical wiring systems, and updating the market analysis. Following our market overview in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 presents
overviews of the latest suppliers' activities.
Also, we run through what's been happening in the emerging markets in this sector and we provide 2008 supplier market share
percentages of wiring harnesses for the major producing regions, plus the world market as a whole.
It's in chapter 2 where you'll find our latest historic and forecast data for wiring harnesses. We provide 2005 to 2016 market values in
North America, Western Europe, Japan and China for vehicle wiring harnesses by application, e.g. separate data rows for engine
harness, roof harness, floor harness, etc. In total, we split the market into seven sub-categories. Also included is our actual/estimate,
best- and worst-case scenario data.
Plus we have included a detailed interview that just-auto conducted with Intedis' managing director, Pascal Degardins in June 2009.

manufacturers, however, face a difficult challenge for two reasons. First, wires are cheap. Second, automotive requirements for
