Electrical Wiring Interconnection System Market Size

The global electrical wiring interconnection system market was valued at USD 8.1 billion in 2024 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.9% to reach USD 12.9 billion by 2034 with the volume of 166.1 million shipments. The growth of the market is driven by key factors such as rise in shift toward more-electric and all-electric aircraft (MEA/AESA), increasing proliferation of in-flight entertainment (IFE) and connectivity systems, as well as emergence of Urban Air Mobility (UAM) and eVTOL Aircraft.
 

Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) Market

The electrical wiring interconnection system market is significantly impacted by the Trump administration’s tariff on materials such as steel, aluminum, and copper tariffs most explicitly in copper wiring construction. EWIS components which include wiring, cables, and enclosures, are reliant on these metals which raises the cost for manufacturers and end users. The industry is at risk of shrinking due to increased production costs. Along with that, increased tariffs on Chinese imports of electronics and semiconductors are negatively affecting the manufacturing of advanced EWIS components.
 

The rise in shift to More Electric and All-Electric Aircraft (MEA/AESA) is increasing the demand for electrical wiring interconnection system market. The rising incorporation of electric systems into aircraft remains EWIS’s main challenge. The complexity, density, and criticality of the aircraft’s wiring networks are expanding in proportions. EWIS is pivotal in interfacing power and data with the sophisticated subsystems of an aircraft considering systems like electric propulsion, flight control, and environmental systems.
 

According to Statista, during 2021, the electric aircraft sector nearly crossed the USD 50 million, doubling in size from the year before. Also, It is anticipated that this industry would expand rapidly, reaching USD 6.6 billion by 2026. Sub systems also have interdependent requirements which further increases WIS chow as well as systems offered by WIS to these advanced subsystems. These factors increase the need for lighter, more heat-resistant wiring which would further optimize performance and fuel efficiency. OEMs are now focused on designs for new models of advanced EWISs in order to maintain and comply with electric and other regulatory standards of the emerging electric aircraft systems.
 

In addition, the rise in development of Urban Air Mobility (UAM), and the introduction of electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, are shifting the demand for electrical wiring interconnection system market. These aircraft are using more advanced propulsion systems, and modern electrical systems which necessitate complex, miniature, and lightweight avionics wiring with high efficiency. For instance, in April 2025, Sarla unveiled their air taxi prototype. Up to six passengers can travel 20 to 30 kilometers at up to 250 kmph in the eVTOL at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo.
 

Sarla partnered with Bengaluru International Airport in order to introduce its air taxis at Kempegowda International Airport. There is financially support starting with USD 10 million from Accel's Series A fundraising round.  Due to the severe weight, safety, and space limitations of the eVTOL design, EWIS systems must optimize reliability, energy, and integration, while ensuring reliable system performance and seamless cross-functional design.
 

Accordingly, there is an increase in demand for advanced EWIS solutions with growing UAM adoption as an urban transport solution. This has led UAM suppliers to adopt new modular architectures, high density, and thermally resilient wiring technologies. As metropolitan infrastructure systems expand and Urban Air Mobility becomes the preferred urban transport solution. This need is being addressed by aerospace suppliers who need to meet the standards for modular design, higher density circuitry integration, and greater thermal stability, resulting in new materials and process technologies for wiring solutions, which is exhibiting a positive influence on the growth of the market during the estimated period.
