Drive by wire Market Dynamics
Driver: Increasing Investment in Drive by System by major OEMs and system Manufacturers.
Many key players in the drive-by-wire industry are investing heavily in the R&D of brake-by-wire systems. For instance, in 2018, Brembo's brake-by-wire system, in its latest evolution, reduced the response time, surpassing the old standard of 300–500 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds. Additionally, to cater to the growing demand for lightweight vehicles, manufacturers are now reducing the overall weight of the vehicles to improve fuel economy and are using drive-by-wire technologies such as throttle-by-wire and steer-by-wire as technical solutions.
Restraint: High cost and semiconductor chip shortages may affect automotive drive-by-wire supply chains
The associated high cost is the major factor restraining the drive by wire market growth. As per the US Department of Transportation, the incremental cost for drive-by-wire is approximately USD 1,000-2,000 per system. This poses a restraint over the system's market, as it increases the overall cost of the vehicle. Also, in 2021, the automotive industry lost more than USD 200 billion due to the global microchip shortage.. Major global automakers such as Ford suspended operations at some of their plants to focus on truck assembly, where the profit margins are much better. Companies that need semiconductors are already reconsidering their long-term procurement strategies due to sustained semiconductor chip shortages. Major carmakers have already announced significant rollbacks in their production, lowering expected revenue for the fiscal year 2021 by billions of dollars.
Opportunity: Increasing adoption of EVs and Autonomous vehicle
The global automotive industry has witnessed a transformation over the last decade with digital communication technologies. Connected, autonomous, and semi-autonomous vehicles are more like a future package of new automotive technologies. These breakthrough technologies are transforming the traditional structure of the automotive industry by bringing in a new business model and changing the nature of the automotive industry. These connected and autonomous vehicles require many electrical connections and terminals. Also, as per the upcoming industry trends, autonomous vehicles are expected to be based on the electric driveline.
Challenges: Electronic Failure and Data hacking
The electric vehicle signifies the introduction of advanced technologies along with electric components. Several risks are associated with this technology, such as thermal runaway of battery bank and fire, which need to be cautiously assessed. Also, the sensors in these systems generate a lot of data stored by the OEMs. How this data is stored and used is subject to many government regulations to prevent data theft.

BEV drive by wire market is estimated to be the largest market during the forecast period
Global BEV sales increased significantly in recent years and shown a good recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The growth is mainly attributed to the expansion of BEV models to new segments in most regions, continued purchase incentives, and stringent emission standards. According to primary respondents and secondary research, BEVs are expected to witness a greater penetration of advanced automotive solutions, such as drive-by-wire systems, compared to PHEVs and HEVs. The drive-by-wire technology allows the brake, accelerator pedal, and other drivetrain components to be decoupled mechanically from the car's body. Considering these developments in autonomous driving and steer-by-wire technology, the market for BEV drive-by-wire is expected to grow.
The throttle-by-wire market is estimated to be the largest drive by wire market during the forecast period
Throttle-by-wire systems are expected to have the largest market share in the drive by wire market for application. The throttle-by-wire market has the largest penetrations among the passenger and commercial segment vehicles. The throttle-by-wire systems can be easily integrated with other electronic sub-systems and hence are easy to integrate. These systems allow fuel efficiency and respond better to driver input than mechanical systems. Also, they require a fraction of space compared to mechanical systems, along with a simpler design. These reasons will contribute to the growth of throttle-by-wire systems.
Asia Pacific is likely to be the largest drive by wire market during the forecast period
Asia Pacific has emerged as a hub for automotive production in recent years. There is an increasing demand for feature-rich, efficient, and highly safety-compliant vehicles. Also, this region is seeing an increasing demand for premium and luxury vehicles. All this positive growth in the automotive sector of this region has attracted OEMs to invest and manufacture vehicles with advanced features. OEMs such as Daimler, Volvo, BMW, Volkswagen, and Scania have manufacturing units and vital manufacturing and research partnerships in these countries, especially in India and China. Passenger car manufacturing inside the Asia Pacific accounts for 59% of the worldwide production of passenger vehicles. With the increasing disposable income, China has emerged as a key market for premium automobiles. . Thus, considering the above factors, it is quite evident that the drive by wire market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years.
Key Market Players
