KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

Play Audio Listen to Audio Version

The global automotive throttle cables market size was valued at USD 2.71 billion in 2022. The market is projected to grow from USD 2.75 billion in 2023 to USD 3.27 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 2.5% during the forecast period.


The automotive throttle cable is a key component in a vehicle’s engine system that is used to connect the gas pedal to the vehicle throttle body. It is usually connected to the cruise control system. The main function of the cables is to control the speed of the vehicle. The platted metal cable provides a mechanical link between the gas pedal and engine to govern the speed of the vehicle.


This market is solely dependent on the increasing vehicle demand on the road, which requires throttle cables to control the speed of the vehicles. Although replacement products such as pedal position sensors could hinder the market growth in the near future, the standardization feature of the cable with lower cost and easy installation drives the market during the forecast period.


COVID-19 IMPACT


Halt in the Production of Throttle Cables during the Pandemic Impacted the Product Demand


The COVID-19 pandemic impacted the global automotive industry. With the decrease in production of vehicles, the demand for throttle cables also decreased. Besides this, due to the restrictions imposed by the government in several nations, factories were fully and partially shut down, which hindered the production of accelerator cables and caused the supply chain shortage of these types of products in the market.


This hampered the automotive industry, which is dependent on specific components or the manufacturing of vehicles. These factors, including the disruption in production and supply, impacted the market during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as the restrictions were lifted and people started traveling again with their vehicles in use, the demand for aftermarket throttle cables also increased.


LATEST TRENDS


Development of High Quality Throttle Cables to Advance the Market Growth


Several automotive component manufacturers are focused on developing high-quality products that should be durable, cause low friction, and can be easily installed in vehicles. The upgradation in standard single throttle cables with  push/pull cable and cable housing with various type of materials such as PVC are the latest industry trends in throttle industry.


To cite another instance, in February 2022, Venhill introduced longer-length control cables for motorcycle users who utilize bar risers or changed handlebars to clip-on or wider designs. All such developments are expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period. Moreover, companies design universal throttle cables that are compatible with all vehicles. This proves beneficial for old vehicle users, which can help the market to grow in aftermarket scenarios.

DRIVING FACTORS


Rising Adoption of Aftermarket Throttle Cables in Old Vehicles to Fuel the Product Demand


A throttle cable is a crucial component in a vehicle. Depending on use, these cables have a life span of 3 to 5 years or around 10,000 km. The replacement of these cables is necessary in an interval of time for the efficient operation of a vehicle. In such a scenario, aftermarket throttle cables come into picture.


Several automotive part manufacturers offer aftermarket throttle cables compatible with specific vehicles. Due to standard design, universal throttle cables are also being developed that can be fitted to any vehicle that cruises with the help of accelerator cables. The demand for aftermarket cables due to its short lifespan fuels the automotive throttle cables market growth during the forecast period.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Replacement of Throttle Cables with ETCS May Impact the Market Expansion


Vehicle manufacturers and automotive parts manufacturers have slowly been shifting toward the use of Electronic Throttle Control Systems (ETCS) or drive-by-wire throttle systems. This shift is encouraged by technological developments in the automotive industry for providing smoother acceleration of the vehicle and the rise in the adoption of electric vehicles.


Technologies such as pedal position sensors are being used in the replacement of traditional throttle cables to govern the speed of the vehicle. Thus, the replacement of the throttle cable by an electronic throttle control system may impact the growth of the market for traditional accelerator cables in the near future.


SEGMENTATION


By Vehicle Type Analysis


Rising Adoption of Motorcycles for Urban Commute to Drive the Two Wheelers Segment Growth


Based on vehicle type, the market is segmented into three sub-segments: passenger cars, commercial vehicles, and two wheelers.


The two-wheeler segment is attributed to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The growing popularity of motorcycles and scooters as a cost-effective and convenient mode of transportation, especially in urban areas, has driven the demand for accelerator cables in two wheelers.


The passenger cars segment dominated the market in the year 2022. With the increasing urbanization and rising disposable income, the sales of passenger cars have increased significantly over the past few years. This demands the requirement of acceleration cables, which fuels the dominance of the market. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2022, passenger car sales increased by 1.9% as compared to 2021.

By Sales Channel Analysis


Increased Vehicle Production to Fuel the OEM Segment Growth


Based on sales channel, the market is segmented into OEM and aftermarket.


The OEM segment dominated the market in the year 2022. The growth of the segment is attributed to the increased production of vehicles post-COVID-19 pandemic. Companies boost their production capacity to cater to the growing demand for vehicles on the road. This fueled the dominance of the market in 2022. According to the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers (OICA), in 2022, the production of vehicles increased by 7.9% as compared to 2021.


The aftermarket segment is attributed to grow at the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. The aftermarket throttle cable market caters to old vehicles. The life span of the cable being less creates the demand for aftermarket throttle cables, which drives the advancement of the segment during the forecast period.


REGIONAL ANALYSIS
