A relay is an electronic switch using an electromagnet to control the switch mechanically. It is normally used where a circuit is to be operated by a low power signal separation. Automobile relays are situated in the automobile in the electrical system where power must be regulated. They make a limited electrical flow through the circuit so that higher voltage circuits are regulated. Since automotive relays play a significant role in automobiles, the manufacturing of auto relays includes use of high performance and long-lasting components.

The report provides analysis of global Automotive Relay market for the period 2016-2027, wherein 2020 to 2027 is the forecast period and 2019 is considered as the base year.

Market Dynamics

The improvement in safety and relaxed driving experience given by auto relays has raised the market for relays and predicted that the projected period will be much greater. Lighter Printed Circuit Board (PCB) relays are slowly replacing complicated plug-in systems with accelerated PCB design. The global PCB relay market is expected to grow with this aspect. PCB relays will still continue to be the leading segment of the global relay industry in the forecast timeframe. In order to boost the automobile relay industry over the timeframe foreseen, regulatory legislation that provide protective components to reduce the number of casualties to cars are required. These instruments can be added to protection measures, such as headrest, control mechanisms, seat belts and airbags. With growing use of technology such as GPS, weather, temperature and traffic information the market for automotive relays is expected to rise at a good CAGR amid the forecast period. Concepts such as sunroof access, mirror access, and infotainment systems have arisen with growing demand for convenience. Another important factor in the growth of the global automobile industry is the rise in the demand for the Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) segment.

Regional Stance

Asia Pacific held principle market share in 2019 and projected to govern the market amid the projected time span. Asia Pacific is one of the main places to raise sales and in 2019. The development of the region is due to the penetration in emerging economies such as China of vehicles and the adoption of safety norms in different Asian countries, which are expected to boost the demand. Asia Pacific has a strong potential for expansion, which is due to high demand for automobiles in this area. The auto demand is projected to drive regional market growth during the forecast period in Asia-Pacific, particularly in China and Japan.

North America is projected to be the second largest region in the automotive relay industry during the forecast phase. The OEMs also made big investments in the production of electric motor vehicles in North America. More investment in electric car production would contribute to the increasing use in the automotive network of automobile relays. In the projected era, this would lead to a demand growth.
