Drive by Wire Global Market Report 2024

The drive by wire market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $24.07 billion in 2023 to $25.44 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth observed during the historical period can be ascribed to an increasing demand for enhanced vehicle performance, safety features, and driver assistance systems. Regulatory requirements and standards, along with a push for reduced mechanical complexity, improved fuel efficiency, and emissions reduction, have also played pivotal roles in driving this growth.

The drive by wire market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $31.74 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be credited to ongoing innovations within the aerospace and defense industries, heightened consumer demand for advanced features, the surge in electric and hybrid vehicles, and the integration of autonomous driving capabilities. Additionally, a focus on fuel efficiency and emission reduction will contribute to this growth. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass the integration of autonomous and electric vehicles, the incorporation of advanced safety and driver assistance features, improvements in vehicle performance and efficiency, adherence to regulatory compliance and standards, and a drive towards reduced mechanical complexity.

The surge in electric vehicle (EV) demand is anticipated to drive the growth of the drive-by-wire market. EVs, powered by electricity stored in batteries, utilize electric motors and recharge without fossil fuels. In this context, drive-by-wire tech, employing electronic systems for braking, steering, and power, plays a crucial role. A report from the US Department of Energy in March 2022 highlighted an 85% surge in EV sales in 2021, nearly doubling the sales of plug-in electric vehicles. This demand upswing for electric vehicles directly impacts the drive-by-wire market's expansion.

The rise in autonomous vehicles is poised to elevate the drive-by-wire market. Autonomous vehicles operate independently of human control and rely on advanced control systems. Drive-by-wire technology meets the intricate demands of autonomous driving, constituting a vital part of this ecosystem. According to a December 2022 report by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, projections estimate 3.5 million autonomous vehicles on US roads by 2025 and an anticipated 4.5 million by 2030. This surge in autonomous vehicles significantly fuels the growth of the drive-by-wire market.

Leading companies in the drive-by-wire market are strategically forging partnerships to advance steer-by-wire (SBW) products. Strategic partnerships leverage strengths and resources for mutual success. For example, in October 2022, ZF Friedrichshafen AG, a German engineering company, partnered with Nio Inc., a Chinese automobile manufacturer. Their collaboration focuses on instant information-sharing, bolstering communication and technical exchanges. ZF's inaugural steer-by-wire collaboration with NIO in the Asia-Pacific region signifies a major milestone. Their alliance extends beyond technical collaboration to encompass brand promotion, product marketing, technology advancement, quality enhancement, and customer service improvement. This partnership aims to drive technological evolution in areas such as autonomous driving and electrification.

Major players in the drive-by-wire market are increasingly opting for strategic partnerships to merge their development capabilities, expediting solutions for market deployment. Such alliances involve leveraging each other's strengths and resources for mutual gains.
