MARKET GROWTH FACTORS

Growth in the German market can be particularly attributed to the manufacturing and delivery of electric and hybrid cars that require specialized lightweight, high-performance wiring harnesses, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) upgrades, the introduction of more stringent safety regulations and an increase in OEM demand for complex conductor systems. This has led to an increase in modular harness designs which improve supply chain integration, increase manufacturing efficiency and help improve the market's competitiveness and technology.

Major changes in wiring harness designs are driven by ADAS systems. The ADAS market in Germany is expected to have USD 4,328.3 million revenue opportunity by 2030 at a CAGR of 12.6% during the period from 2025 to 2030. In addition, more and more vehicles are using multi-core Ethernet cabling, fiber optical data cables and sensor harness bundles that include radar, lidar, cameras and ultrasonic sensors. The increasing use of shielded twisted pairs and coaxial connectors to eliminate electromagnetic interference allows the harness value per unit to increase, thereby expanding the market.

German automotive manufacturers quickly adopted Industry 4.0 crimping technologies, including robotic crimping, artificial intelligence to analyze crimp quality, data traceability, real-time monitoring and data analytics, to reduce defects, human error and cycle times, and to meet DIN and ISO automotive quality standards. A suitable example in this direction of vertically integrated, technology-oriented, scalable Industry 4.0 and market leadership is Luxshare Precision's acquisition of parts of Leoni AG and Leoni Kabel in 2024 (total amount: 525.41 million euros).
