Historical and Future Pathway Analysis for the Drive-By-Wire Market

A drive-by-wire system is a type of automotive system that uses electronic sensors and actuators to control the vehicle's driving functions, such as steering, braking, and acceleration. This system is completely different from the traditional automotive system, which uses mechanical linkages to control these functions. Drive-by-wire systems are becoming increasingly common in modern vehicles. Many vehicles today are equipped with drive-by-wire systems for at least some of their driving functions, such as electronic throttle control or brake-by-wire systems. In the future, it is expected that drive-by-wire systems will be used to control all of the vehicle's driving functions in autonomous vehicles.

The drive-by-wire market has been steadily growing in recent times, and it is expected that this trend will continue in the upcoming future.

• Short-term (2023-26): Growing demand for autonomous vehicles will increase the demand for drive-by-wire systems as these systems typically have multiple sensors and actuators that work together to control each driving function and also help to improve the fuel efficiency of autonomous vehicles by optimizing their performance.
• Medium-term (2026-29): The overall market demand for drive-by-wires is estimated to grow with the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI). AI can be used to develop more sophisticated and intelligent drive-by-wire systems. For example, specific drive-by-wire systems can be made through AI which can learn from the driver's behaviour or maybe it can anticipate the driver’s requirements while driving the vehicle.
• Long-term (2029-33): The development of stringent emission and safety regulations is expected to contribute to increased demand for drive-by-wire systems in the long run. Drive-by-wires can significantly reduce emissions by optimising a vehicle's performance and fuel economy. They also provide several advanced safety features such as anti-lock braking, traction control, etc.

On the back of the aforementioned findings, the drive-by-wire market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 9.6% during the forecast period from 2023-2033, According to the Fact.MR, a market research and competitive intelligence provider.

Market share analysis of drive-by-wire systems based on vehicle type and region is provided in a nutshell in the above image. Under the application segment, the commercial vehicle among the drive-by-wire dominates with a 28% market share in 2023.

Market Dynamics Outlook

“Increase in The Popularity for Autonomous And Fuel-Efficient Vehicles Will Lead to an Increase in The Demand of Drive-by-Wire Systems”

Drive-by-wire systems are one of the important components of any autonomous vehicle. These vehicles need to have very precise and reliable control over all of their driving functions like steering, braking, and accelerating. The drive-by-wire system allows these autonomous vehicles to have control over all these driving functions electronically without the use of any mechanical linkages. This is important for autonomous vehicles for them to operate safely and efficiently. So this will drive the market for drive-by-wire systems.

Fuel-efficient vehicles also benefit from drive-by-wire systems. Drive-by-wire systems can help to improve fuel efficiency by optimizing the vehicle's performance. Drive-by-wire systems, for instance, can be utilized to cut down on the amount of time the engine idles, which can help save fuel.

“High Cost Pose a Barrier to Market Expansion”

The development and production costs of drive-by-wire systems are higher than those of conventional mechanical systems. This is because drive-by-wire systems need a variety of electrical parts, including sensors, actuators, and different types of control systems. The high cost of drive-by-wire systems is a barrier to market expansion because it makes the technology less affordable for consumers and businesses.

With the growth of the semiconductor industry, all the prices of the different electrical and electronic components may be reduced and this will help the drive-by-wire market to also reduce its overall cost. However, it is important to note that the cost of drive-by-wire systems is expected to remain relatively high in the near future. This is because drive-by-wire systems are still a relatively new technology, and the demand for these systems is expected to grow in the coming years.

Country-wise Insights

What are the Factors Driving the Drive-by-Wire Market Demand Across China?

The rise of the Chinese automotive market is one of the most vital factors in driving the demand for the drive-by-wire market across China. The Chinese automotive market has become very competitive in the last few years. This is driving companies to develop and launch new vehicles with advanced features, such as drive-by-wire systems to sustain in this highly competitive market.

The growth of the Chinese automotive market is also creating new opportunities for drive-by-wire system suppliers. For example, the growing popularity of electric vehicles in China is driving the demand for drive-by-wire systems for electric vehicles. Electric vehicles typically use drive-by-wire systems for their steering, braking, and acceleration functions. Since the use of conventional IC engines is going to be less and the use of electrical vehicles is going to increase, the overall drive-by-wire market is also going to increase in the upcoming future in the China market.

Why is the Indian Drive-by-Wire Market Growing so Rapidly?

The Indian government is very much supportive of the use of autonomous vehicles and is supporting the development and deployment of autonomous vehicles through a number of initiatives, such as the National Highway Authority of India's (NHAI) Test Track for Connected and Autonomous Driving and the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).

The Indian government is also implementing increasingly stringent emission and safety regulations for vehicles. For example, the Bharat Stage VI (BS-VI) emission standards, which are equivalent to Euro 6 emission standards. Drive-by-wire systems can help to comply with these stringent emission and safety regulations. The Indian government has also made it mandatory for all vehicles to have the Global NCAP safety rating mentioned, so with the help of the drive-by-wire system, the vehicles can improve their rating making them more safer.

Why Are The Passenger Vehicles Better Equipped With Drive-by-Wire Systems And Not The Commercial Vehicles?

Commercial vehicles include trucks, vans, caravans, and other heavy vehicles but in the case of passenger vehicles, it includes sedans, hatchbacks, utility vehicles and luxury vehicles. Drive-by-wire systems are complex systems that require a high level of engineering expertise to develop and implement. This can make it difficult for manufacturers of commercial vehicles, which are typically less specialized than manufacturers of passenger vehicles, to implement drive-by-wire systems.

Drive-by-wire systems are more expensive than traditional mechanical systems. This is because drive-by-wire systems require a number of electronic components, such as sensors, actuators, and control units. Commercial vehicles are typically more price-sensitive than passenger vehicles, so manufacturers are less likely to equip them with drive-by-wire systems.

Why is The Electronic Throttle Control a More Popular Feature of The Drive-by-Wire System?

Electronic throttle control (ETC) is a more popular feature of the drive-by-wire system because it offers a number of advantages over traditional mechanical throttle systems. ETC systems can help to improve fuel efficiency by optimizing the vehicle's air-fuel ratio. This is because ETC systems can precisely control the amount of air that enters the engine, which can help to ensure that the engine is running at its most efficient level.

The electronic throttle control systems can also help to improve the vehicle's performance by providing more precise control of the engine's throttle. This can lead to improved acceleration and responsiveness. With these benefits, the electronic throttle control becomes a popular feature of the drive-by-wire system.
