Market Share of Automotive Relay Industry
The automotive relay market is dominated by companies such as DENSO Corporation (ANDEN Co. Ltd), Panasonic Corporation, TE Connectivity, and Nidec Corporation.
The market for automotive relays is highly competitive due to the presence of international and domestic relay suppliers in the region. The companies are investing heavily in R&D projects and launching new products. For instance:
- In May 2023, Texas Instruments (TXN) released a new portfolio of isolated solid-state relays designed for electric vehicles. These automotive-qualified relays feature isolated drivers and switches that improve reliability by connecting and disconnecting loads rapidly. They aim to reduce costs and size in powertrain and 800-V battery management systems. Mass production is set to take place in Malaysia, with initial monthly production capacity planned to increase from 400,000-500,000 units to 1 million units. These relays are expected to expand TXN's reach among engineers and enhance its market presence in the EV industry.
- In April 2022, LG Magna e-Powertrain announced its latest manufacturing facility in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. This newly established plant is dedicated to producing inverters, motors, and onboard chargers with the primary objective of bolstering General Motors Electric Vehicle (EV) manufacturing operations.
