The global automotive nickel wire market size was USD 85 million in 2022. As per our research, the market is expected to reach USD 102.5 million in 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period. The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the automotive nickel wire market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.
Automotive nickel wire refers to a type of wire made from nickel or nickel alloys that is specifically designed for use in various applications within the automotive industry. Nickel wire possesses certain properties that make it suitable for automotive applications due to its corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, thermal properties, and other characteristics. It's also used in exhaust systems due to its resistance to corrosion and in heating elements for its ability to handle high temperatures. Additionally, nickel wire finds use in electroplating processes for automotive parts, contributes to wiring harnesses, and plays a role in battery components for electric vehicles.
Furthermore, the market is predicted to witness a steady growth rate due to rising demand for nickel wires in the automotive industry particularly, for cars’ engines and commercial vehicles. Also, its conductivity makes it vital for spark plug wires, while nickel-chromium alloys are go-to materials for resistance wires in heating systems. Biocompatible and corrosion-resistant, it's employed in medical devices, while aerospace, automotive, and research sectors benefit from its durability and versatility.
COVID-19 Impact: Industry's Closure Curtailed the Demand for the Nickel Wires
The market for automotive nickel wire has faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic due to several aspects of the safety measures. Firstly, the lockdown limitations curbed the production and manufacturing operations due to a shortage of labour, and the closure of industries caused lower demand for nickel wire across the world. Secondly, the economic uncertainties reduced the budget of the business industries. As a result, the growth of the market was halted by this health emergency significantly in 2020-2021. However, post-pandemic, the market began to experience a steady growth in the demand and production of the product which will likely boost the growth of the automotive nickel wires market.
