CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION
1.1. Report description

Automotive wiring harness is an electrical assembly of various components in a vehicle that transmits power
and information to a single system. It plays an important role in transmitting information about the operation
of the vehicle, sending & receiving sensor signals, and supplying power.
Also, wiring harnesses are the assemblies that consist of multiple terminated wires and are installed during the
time of vehicle production. The components that are assembled include speed sensors, heating, ventilation
and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, electrical devices, and other electronic components. In the automotive
wiring harness industry, the wires are first cut to the desired length, usually using a special wire-cutting
machine. The wires may also be printed by a special machine during the cutting process or on a separate
machine. After this, the ends of the wires are stripped to expose the metal (or core), which is then fitted to the

3.5. Market dynamics

3.5.1. Drivers
3.5.1.1. Increase in disposable income
In addition to the size, the wealth of the population also tends to have a large influence on the demand for
vehicles. In the last 10 years, the total vehicles in use in the GCC have moved almost steadily with the GDP per
capita. The economy in GCC region has witnessed richest and fastest growth in the world, largely owing to its
proven oil reserves and increase in non-oil revenue. Furthermore, personal income levels of the population are
directly correlated to economic growth. Hence, rise in economy is anticipated to translate into increase in
disposable income. Moreover, a tax-free fiscal environment has supported discretionary spending. In addition,
with a high degree of spending power, GCC region is moving toward the adoption of the high-value products
such as cars and sport motorcycles. Global automakers of luxury as well as mid-segment cars are expanding
their presence within GCC countries to lure the wealthy class. An expanding consumer base results in higher
demand for new as well as used vehicles and related parts in the region. The GCC nations are also highly
GCC Automotive urbanized with more than 89% of the overall population living in urban areas. Thus, rise in urbanization rate
Wiring Harness has created demand for vehicles, which directly help to expand the wiring harness business in gulf countries.
Market 3.5.1.2. Availability of fuel at competitive prices
Opportunity Analysis One of the key drivers of the GCC automotive wiring harness market is availability of low-cost fuel. Large
proven crude oil reserves have enabled the member countries to offer fuel at subsidized rates. The effective
2019-2026
base price of fuel in several countries is high due to certain factors such as levy of a series of taxes related to
47
road improvements and environmental programs. Absence of such taxes has kept the base price low in the
GCC countries. The average price of gasoline in the GCC countries on October 10, 2016 ranged between $0.24
to $0.46 per liter. The highest price was in the UAE and Oman, which is still lesser than that of Germany and
the UK by 35% and that in Hong Kong by 25%. Moreover, purchase of cars in the GCC is relatively inexpensive
compared to other countries due to favorable tax structure with no value added tax, luxury tax, and special
consumption tax. The price of the world‘s largest selling vehicle, Toyota Corolla, in the GCC averaged at
US$16,341. Low cost of owning a vehicle in the GCC countries along with availability of fuel, insurance, and
finance at competitive rates has supported the demand for cars. Thus, rising demand for the car, commercial
and two wheelers in GCC is expected to directly affect the growth of the wiring harness market.
3.5.2. Restraints
3.5.2.1. Implementation of VAT and stricter government regulations in GCC countries
The GCC governments have implemented value added tax (VAT) system at a uniform rate of 5% from January
1, 2018. Although the rate is not significantly high, it is expected to have a negative influence on automobile
sales volumes owing to rise in effective sales prices. In a survey conducted among financial and investment
professionals in the UAE, 79% felt that the automobile industry will be the most affected by the introduction
GCC Automotive
of VAT. In addition, in the GCC automobile sector, some government regulations act as barriers. For instance,
Wiring Harness
as per the UAE Commercial Agencies Law, there can only be one dealer per car manufacturer in each Emirate.
Market
Moreover, commercial agents should be nationals or companies registered in the UAE and owned entirely by
Opportunity Analysis the locals. In addition, rise in environmental concerns over global warming result in imposing stricter
2019-2026 regulations on greenhouse gas emissions and promoting alternative fuel technologies in the GCC. In addition,
companies are ready to meet the fuel economy requirement by supplying electric vehicles and diesel-
48
powered vehicles in GCC through automakers (who export to GCC). Both approaches are expected to affect
the type and quantity of wires used in vehicles. Thus, unfavorable policies of the government are hampering
the growth of the wiring harness market in GCC region.
3.5.2.2. Fluctuations in exchange rate

Currencies of most of the GCC countries are dependent on the U.S. Dollar and Japanese Yen. Subsequently,
significant fluctuations in exchange rates between the US Dollar and currencies of the major vehicle exporting
nations to the region can influence automobile prices in the GCC. The Japanese Yen has appreciated nearly
16–18% against the U.S. dollar since the beginning of year 2019. Being the largest source market for vehicle
imports, strengthening of Yen is projected to make imports costlier for the GCC countries at a time when the
region is facing an economic challenge. Similarly, appreciation of Euro or the Korean Won can have an
adverse impact on the GCC vehicle imports. In addition, vehicles are imported to GCC through other channels
(Grey import) via regional distributors. The benefit of grey imports is availability of new cars from secondhand
dealers at a low price as well as access to new models that are not offered in the country. Owing to this, the
volumes of the authorized car dealers in the GCC countries have been affected by around 20-25%. Therefore,
fluctuation in exchange rate coupled with the increase in grey imports is hampering the growth of the
GCC Automotive
automotive wiring harness market in GCC countries.
Wiring Harness
Market 3.5.3. Opportunities
3.5.3.1. Rise in investments in vehicle and component manufacturing
and Industry Forecast, Please confirm.. However, situation is expected to change in the future, as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Oman
2019-2026
are receiving investments to set up vehicle and related part manufacturing facilities. Rise in automotive
49
demand in the Middle East is encouraging the global automotive manufacturers to establish production base
in the region. Moreover, the government also provides incentives and helps formulate plans to establish
automobile manufacturing hubs. For instance, in Saudi Arabia, the government is developing a national
automotive cluster as a part of the National Industrial Clusters Development Program (NICDP) with a target to
produce 600,000 vehicles a year by 2025. Also, many strategies are made to fulfil the rising demand of
vehicles in GCC. For instance, Saudi National Automobile Manufacturing Company (SNAM) and Saudi Arabian
Public Investment Fund (SAPIF), established partnership with South Korea‘s Daewoo International to build a
car assembly plan. In addition, the Sultanate has a strategic plan to commence automobile parts
manufacturing in the GCC country in a couple of years and a car plant by 2020. Such initiatives from the giant
companies to expand their business in GCC countries are expected to help boost the demand for wiring
harness required for the different vehicle types in the near future.
3.5.3.2. Growth in automotive aftermarket

In recent years, demand for automotive spare parts in the Middle East is projected to grow at a rapid pace.
Also, there is an increase in the number of vehicles on road in the GCC, which has created a vibrant market for
automotive parts and repair services. The constant need to replace batteries, installation of new advance
GCC Automotive
features in vehicle, and other components in commercial as well as two wheeler vehicles has provided
Wiring Harness
