Global Automotive Relays Market Size, Share, and Trends Analysis Report, By Type (PCB Relay and Plug-in Relay) and By Application (Locking System, Engine Management Module, Lamps/Lights, Power Window, Sunroof, ABS Control, and Others), Forecast (2022-2028)

The automotive relays market is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR of 5.2% during the forecast period (2022-2028). A relay is a type of switch that is used to connect circuits. Relays are made up of an electromagnet in which the input current drives the coil to produce a magnetic field, which forces the contacts to meet, completing the circuit. The contacts may not come together due to a weak magnetic field if the input voltage is inadequate. The rising need for fuel-efficient vehicles, as well as technical improvements in in-vehicle electronics, are important drivers driving the demand for relays in automobiles. The demand for sophisticated relays with lightweight and high-performance qualities is influencing manufacturers to invest in solid-state relay production, as opposed to traditional heavy electromechanical relays, which is a new opportunity for development in the market.

 

The global automotive relays market is segmented based on type and application. Based on the type, the market is sub-segmented into PCB relay and plug-in relay. Among these types, the plug-in relay segment is expected to propel the growth of the market. Solid-state plug-in relays are in great demand as they can handle large-rated currents (50A-80A) and low operating voltages (less than 400V), just like electromechanical relays. Plug-in relays, in addition to having a longer service life, have a simple design structure and are lightweight, making them a good substitute for heavy electromechanical relays. Automobiles use solid-state plug-in relays for a variety of applications, including electrically heated catalytic converters, fuel pumps, radiator fans, headlights (low and high versions), and defoggers, among others. Based on the application, the market is sub-segmented into locking systems, engine management modules, lamps/lights, power windows, sunroofs, abs control, and others.

 

The market players are also contributing significantly to the market growth by adopting various strategies, including mergers and acquisitions, geographical expansion, partnerships, collaborations, and new product launches, to stay competitive in the market. For instance, in December 2021, TE Connectivity announced that the company acquired narrow safety relay (NSR) technology from Phoenix Contact Ltd. With this technology acquisition, TE Connectivity will now be involved in manufacturing and marketing NSR relays.
