Drive By Wire Market by Application, Sensor, Vehicle, Component & Region - Global Forecast to 2025

Rising demand for passenger safety, comfort and luxury, and reduction in vehicle weight will propel the drive by wire market
The drive by wire market is primarily driven by the increasing number of mandates from governments to control vehicle emissions and the demand for passenger safety and comfort. The drive by wire market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.86% from 2018 to 2025. From a market size of USD 19.12 billion in 2018, it is projected to reach USD 34.63 billion by 2025. However, the major factor restraining the growth of the drive by wire market is the high incremental cost, risk of failure in electronics, and lack of public acceptance.

Brake-by-wire to be the fastest growing drive by wire application of the drive by wire market
The brake-by-wire system works in combination with the anti-lock braking system, electronic brake assist, and electronic brake force distribution which increase the vehicle’s stability and control.In addition to that, a brake-by-wire system replaces the conventional mechanical and hydraulic components, thereby reducing the space required for casing braking systems and control weight.

Such associated benefits will drive the growth of this market during the forecast period.
Gear shift position sensor to have the largest market among sensors of the drive by wire market.
The gear shift position sensor is a component of the shift-by-wire system and automatic transmissions.The gear shift position sensor detects the position of the gear, such as first or second, and sends the data as an electric signal to the ECU.

The highest market share of the shift-by-wire system makes the market for gear shift position sensor the highest owing to its standard usage in the system. Hence, with the increasing demand for shift-by-wire, the market for gear shift position sensor is expected to increase.

Asia Pacific to be the largest and Europe to be one of the fastest markets for drive by wire
Asia Pacific is estimated to dominate the drive by wire market, and Europe is projected to be the fastest growing market during the forecast period.Consumers in the Asia Pacific region are increasingly demanding advanced technologies such as automatic and automated manual transmission in mid-size and economy class vehicles.

Advanced drive by wire technologies such as shift-by-wire, park-by-wire, and throttle-by-wire are thus deployed in these vehicle classes.In addition, the modern EVs also use drive by wire systems for actuation.

As Asian countries plan to standardize emission norms and use an increasing number of EVs in the future, drive by wire systems are likely to gain traction.Europe is also the largest market for passenger cars, particularly for premium cars (C segment and above).

The demand for premium cars has accentuated the need for lower emission and vehicle weight, which can be achieved with the help of drive by wire systems. With the increase in the sale of premium cars, the demand for efficient drive by wire systems is increasing to improve the vehicle performance and comfort, and this is further driving the drive by wire market in Europe.
