The development of China's wire harness and cable industry will continue to expand in scale

The development of China's wiring harness industry can be traced back to the 1940s, with early SEDlications mainly in the military and aerospace sectors. The industry's growth was fueled by the relocation of global wiring harness manufacturing centers. Since the reform and opening up, China has rapidly emerged as a global hub for wiring harness production, thanks to its competitive labor costs and abundant resources. Manufacturers from Europe, the United States, Japan, and other countries have established plants in China, driving the rapid development of the domestic wiring harness industry.
