Increased Demand for Automatic Automotive Switches Drives the Global Market
According to Straits Research, “The global automotive switches market revenue was valued at USD 28,658.1 million in 2021. It is expected to reach USD 66,815.6 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 8% during the forecast period (2022–2030).” Automotive switches are one of the vehicle's most essential components. They are in charge of the vehicle's entire electrical system. They are necessary to control various vehicle functions, including the lights, engine start/stop, mirror controls, etc. Although manual automotive switches can perform these functions, automatic switches are gaining immense popularity worldwide due to the added convenience they provide by functioning automatically. These switches reduce driver distraction and offer an additional safety feature. Automatic switches operate based on the responses from numerous sensors. Typically, they are installed in luxury vehicles and other high-end vehicles. When the light switch is set to auto, the headlamps automatically turn on in response to low ambient light conditions, such as entering a tunnel at dusk or driving in rain/snow.
Similarly, automatic switches increase the convenience of driving by enabling the auto-dimming mirror action. In auto-dimming or self-dimming mirror technology, a front-facing sensor detects low ambient light from the car's headlights and instructs the rear-view sensor to check for glare. The mirrors dim based on the intensity of the glare, and they clear themselves if the sensors do not detect the glow. This technology is beneficial at night and prevents automobile accidents. Luxury automobile manufacturers, such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Jaguar Land Rover, and others, equip their vehicles with an assortment of automatic automotive switches to enhance the driving experience and passenger safety. As a result, the increasing demand for automatic automotive switches is expected to drive the global market over the forecast period.
Increasing Vehicle Adoption of Electronic Systems Creates Tremendous Opportunities
Mechanical switches previously controlled most of the vehicle's functions and applications. Nowadays, manufacturers have started to replace mechanical switches with electrical ones. Many automakers are installing more electronic components in response to the rising demand for more convenient and intelligent control of a vehicle's various functions. Mechanical switches are more responsive, operate more quickly, and are less expensive than electronic switches. Using electronics in passenger and light and heavy commercial vehicles enhances comfort, connectivity, efficiency, and safety. Over time, it is expected that electronics will significantly contribute to the overall price of automobiles. Electronic or electromechanical switches used in modern automobiles, such as rockers, toggles, pushbuttons, and others, are commonly found in every 12-volt electrical system in an automobile and serve various purposes, such as turning on the lights and controlling vital systems. As automotive applications become more prevalent, the required performance of switching devices is evolving at an accelerated rate. The widespread use of cutting-edge power devices with intelligence features such as safety and automatic diagnostics in automobiles accelerates the adoption of technologically advanced automotive switches. As a result, the increasing incorporation of electronics into automobiles is expected to propel the market for automotive switches over the forecast period.
