Automotive Data Cables Market Report 2026

The automotive data cables market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $8.78 billion in 2025 to $9.68 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.3%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to in-vehicle electronics growth, can bus adoption, wiring harness standardization, infotainment system integration, sensor deployment.

The automotive data cables market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $14.82 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to autonomous vehicle development, high-bandwidth data demand, connected car ecosystems, electric vehicle wiring complexity, vehicle cybersecurity needs. Major trends in the forecast period include shift toward high-speed data cables, adoption of automotive ethernet, expansion of adas wiring networks, growth of in-vehicle infotainment cabling, demand for lightweight cable designs.

The expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure is expected to drive the growth of the automotive data cable market in the coming years. Electric vehicle charging infrastructure comprises a broad network of charging stations and related facilities developed to meet the charging requirements of electric cars. Automotive data cables play a vital role in the communication and management systems within EV charging infrastructure, enabling electric vehicle users to experience seamless and secure charging. For example, in June 2024, according to the International Energy Agency, a France-based organization that conducts research, gathers data, and provides policy recommendations for the global energy sector, the number of public charging points worldwide reached approximately 3.9 million by the end of 2023, up from 2.7 million at the end of 2022. Therefore, the expansion of electric vehicle charging infrastructure is contributing to the growth of the automotive data cable market.

Major companies operating in the automotive data cables market are concentrating on developing advanced solutions, such as single-pair Ethernet (SPE) technology, to enable faster data transmission, reduce vehicle cabling complexity, and enhance network efficiency across infotainment, ADAS, and powertrain systems. SPE technology supports high-bandwidth communication over a single twisted pair, significantly lowering cable weight while maintaining strong signal integrity. For instance, in August 2024, Microchip Technology, a US-based semiconductor and connectivity company, expanded its single-pair Ethernet portfolio by introducing new PHY transceivers compliant with 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 standards. These transceivers are designed to deliver data rates ranging from 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps over extended-reach single-pair cabling, helping automakers implement lighter wiring architectures while ensuring dependable connectivity for advanced electronic systems.

In October 2023, Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., a Japan-based manufacturer of fiber optic cables, announced a partnership with US Conec Ltd. for an undisclosed amount. The collaboration aims to develop MMC (Multi-Fiber Connector) Very Small Form Factor solutions to enhance high-density fiber optic connectivity, particularly in data centers and telecommunications. This initiative is focused on improving performance and space efficiency in fiber solutions, demonstrating a commitment to advancing optical networking technologies. US Conec Ltd., a US-based company, manufactures electronic components.
