Electrical Wiring Interconnection System Market Share

Global Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) Market Overview

Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) Market Size was valued at USD 7,464.9 Million in 2023. The Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) market industry is projected to grow from USD 7,868.7 Million in 2024 to USD 11,829.1 Million by 2032, exhibiting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.2% during the forecast period (2024– 2032).

Electrical Wiring Interconnection System (EWIS) refers to the wiring system and components of a complex system, such as an aircraft. EWIS includes wires, cables, harnesses, connectors, terminals, attachments, and other electrical devices that are part of a system, rather than a collection of individual components. In a physically active manner, EWIS controls the brain of the aircraft through relaying necessary data about altitude, attitude, flight speed and other data from the sensor equipment to the pilots. It also enables pilots to steer the craft by relaying their instructions to the engines, rudders, ailerons, and the elevators. Sensitivity analysis, simulation and testing of the wire failure effects serve as important information to the EWIS engineers in order to achieve right physical separation and validation of EWIS from other aircraft parts. With the development of EWIS as a maintenance approach, the identification of wire material failure has been enhanced while earlier the troubles related with connectors and hardware were considered.
