The global cable accessories market is experiencing significant growth due to the rising demand for electric vehicles (EVs). Cable assemblies are essential components in various systems within a vehicle, including power supply, ignition, steering, braking, lighting, safety, and security. Additionally, the number of electronic components in vehicles, such as rear cameras and navigation systems, is increasing. The automotive industry is growing steadily worldwide, driven by countries in the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, while the EV market is expanding at a much faster pace.
In recent years, the focus on promoting environmental sustainability and the depletion of fossil fuel reserves has resulted in a surge in EV sales. Technological advancements have reduced battery costs and improved EV efficiency, contributing to a rapid increase in sales in countries such as the US, Germany, China, the UK, and the Netherlands over the past decade. Furthermore, the availability of subsidies and low prices will likely drive further sales growth during the forecast period.
The advent of high-speed cable assemblies is trending in the market. The transmission of data is made possible through cable assemblies, which ensure fast and reliable communication. Recent technological advancements have paved the way for the development of high-speed cable assemblies. Leading companies such as Amphenol and Samtech offer high-speed cable assemblies suitable for a variety of applications including servers, storage, computers, switches, and other communication or data network devices.
For instance, Samtech's AcceleRate provides high-speed data transfer at speeds over 56 Gbps using pulse amplitude modulation with four-level (PAM4) speeds. Similarly, Amphenol offers various high-speed cable assemblies such as QSFP+ copper cable assemblies, SFP+ direct attach copper cable assemblies, and QSFP to 4 x SFP+ splitter cable. Additionally, TE Connectivity offers Pluggable I/O Cable Assemblies that support aggregate data rates of 25, 50, 100, and 200 Gbps. With the increasing demand for high-speed transmission in products such as computers and data centers, the demand for high-speed cable assemblies is expected to rise during the forecast period.
Challenges associated with the production of ultra-miniature RF cable assemblies may hinder the market growth. RF cable assemblies are extensively used in various applications such as video systems, military equipment, local-area networks (LANs), medical devices, and process controls, making them a significant contributor to the global cable assembly market. However, the trend toward miniaturization in the electronics industry has resulted in a reduction in the size of RF cable assemblies. Smartphones, tablets, and portable GPS devices are becoming smaller, thinner, and lighter with each passing day, and manufacturers are embedding various components to enhance their features. These devices typically feature ultra-small antennas and other components that offer wireless Internet, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), and Bluetooth services. Ultra-miniature RF cable assemblies are used to connect these small antennas and components to the circuit board of electronic devices. However, manufacturers face a significant challenge in maintaining the accuracy and reliability of their products while working with tiny wires and components.
The thickness of the RF cable assembly must be limited, which presents an additional challenge for manufacturers. The quality of ultra-miniature cable assemblies is also a significant concern during manufacturing. The quality of RF cable assemblies can be affected by even the smallest changes in strip length and diameter, making accuracy critical. Therefore, the challenges associated with the production of ultra-miniature RF cable assemblies will impact the growth of the market.

The application-specific segment showed a gradual increase in market share from USD 42.60 billion in 2017 and continued to grow by 2021. Application-specific cable assemblies are used in places where normal cable assemblies cannot be used. For instance, application-specific cable assemblies are used in defense/military vehicles that are made to suit harsh environments and extreme climatic conditions. The demand for application-specific cable assemblies is expected to increase from the defense sector to cater to the need for custom designs and specific characteristics. The complex design of electric and electronic equipment will also increase the demand for application-specific cable assemblies. However, the introduction of advanced cable assemblies, which are suitable for multiple applications, will reduce the demand for application-specific cable assemblies during the forecast period. Furthermore, our report provides a brief analysis of the historical and forecast market share and their segments along with the reasons for growth from 2017 to 2027.
Cable assemblies are widely used in the automotive industry for a variety of applications. Autonomous vehicles and EVs use several cable assemblies for various connections. One of the major factors which is driving the demand for cable assemblies in the automotive industry is the increased market attraction for autonomous, electric, and hybrid vehicles. OEMs are rapidly investing in the production of these vehicles to capitalize on the growing demand for safe, green, and more connected vehicles. EVs use a higher number of cable assemblies than internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, as they require a greater number of cable connections for batteries and other related circuits. The demand for cable assemblies is proportional to the growth of the automotive industry. Thus, the growth in the sales of EVs will drive the growth of the global cable assembly market during the forecast period.
APAC is estimated to contribute 59% to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. Technavio’s analysts have elaborately explained the regional trends and drivers that shape the market during the forecast period.
