The automotive relay market share growth in Europe by the passenger segment will be significant during the forecast period. The most commonly used type of relay in the automotive industry is an electro-mechanically operated switch. These switches are found in all types of vehicles, such as cars, trucks, vans, trailers, and boats. A small cube-shaped unit known as a standard relay or a mini relay is majorly used in the automotive industry. The European passenger vehicles market is mature, and there is a low growth potential for vehicle manufacturers. However, automotive sales are expected to rise in the coming years, with increasing domestic demand and exports to countries such as the US and China. This, in turn, will drive the automotive relay market growth during the forecast period.

This report provides an accurate prediction of the contribution of all the segments to the growth of the automotive relay market size in Europe and actionable market insights on the post-COVID-19 impact on each segment.

Automotive Relay Market in Europe: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

The increase in the use of automotive relays in vehicles that operate on alternative fuels is notably driving the automotive relay market growth in Europe, although factors such as the replacement of automotive relays by powered switches may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the automotive relay industry in Europe. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Automotive Relay Market Driver in Europe

  • The increase in the use of automotive relays in vehicles that operate on alternative fuels is one of the key drivers supporting the Europe automotive relay market.
  • Vehicles operating on alternative fuels use a large number of electronic components compared to conventional vehicles, as they play a crucial role in engine performance and function management.
  • Electronic vehicle relays provide higher voltage switching across various types of powertrains, such as plug-in hybrid, pure electric hybrid, and hybrid vehicles that operate on fuel cells.
  • As electric and hybrid vehicles operate with the help of a battery, high-powered automotive relays are used as a facilitator to transmit the required current to the engine and other components of the vehicle. Moreover, pre-charged relays are used to reduce the initial surge current from the batteries, which help in inverting the input capacitors during the process of powering up the system. 
  • A wide variety of relays of varying sizes, the ability to handle extreme temperatures ranging from 104F to 257F, and the use of improved contact materials for producing lightweight and easily installable relays make the devices reliable, safe, and cost-effective. Such factors are expected to drive the demand for the automotive relay in Europe during the forecast period. 

Key Automotive Relay Market Trend in Europe

  • The development of intelligent/smart relays is one of the key automotive relay market trends in Europe fueling the market growth.
  • Relays play a crucial role in the functioning of various components and the engine of a vehicle.
  • An intelligent relay is installed in automobiles, as it performs many tasks in a single timeframe and eliminates the need for multiple relays, timers, and push-buttons.
  • Intelligent relays are programmed before installation, which ensures that all the integrated relays are tested for their reliability, durability, and consistency.
  • An intelligent relay integrates various components, such as timers, relays, and others, into a single compact device, which is easily configurable. It ensures that it provides an exceptional level of flexibility combined with substantial savings in commissioning time and effort. These factors of intelligent relays will boost the Europe automotive relay market growth during the forecast period.

Key Automotive Relay Market Challenge in Europe

  • The replacement of automotive relays by powered switches is one of the challenges hampering the Europe automotive relay market.
  • Relays are important in connecting various components in an automobile and regulating the electric voltage and current to ensure that no product is damaged due to excess current supply.
  • The powered switch is an ultra-low ohmic protected high-side switch inbuilt with smart integrated protection functions, which can be used for the automotive industry. It protects the electric components in vehicles from overload, over-voltage, short circuits, excessive temperature, power supply loss, and electrostatic discharge (ESD).
  • Various powered switches, such as PROFET and KIBES, are steadily replacing relays in the automotive industry. They also have diagnostic features, such as the status or current sense or a combination of both. 
  • In the case of a malfunction, the status feature helps to determine if the powered switch is suffering from excess temperature or overload. These diagnostic features provide the user with precise information about the switches and loads. It offers higher reliability, improved energy efficiency, and extended functionality at a lower overall system cost compared with relays and fuses. Such factors of the powered switch will hinder the Europe automotive relay market growth during the forecast period.

This automotive relay market in Europe analysis report also provides detailed information on other upcoming trends and challenges that will have a far-reaching effect on the market growth. The actionable insights on the trends and challenges will help companies evaluate and develop growth strategies for 2022-2026.
