Stars
High-Voltage EV Wiring Systems
As global auto electrification targets near 100% by end-2025, LEONI holds a leading share in high-voltage EV harnesses—serving ~40% of premium European and 25% of premium Asian BEV models—driving revenue growth after 2023 restructuring.
These systems need heavy R&D; LEONI invested €120m in EV wiring R&D in 2024, securing patents and reducing unit cost 12% vs 2022, so they are the company’s primary growth engine.
Zonal Architecture Solutions
Zonal Architecture Solutions: modern cars shift from central wiring to decentralized zonal architectures to cut weight ~10–20% and complexity; LEONI supplies intelligent power distribution modules and data cables, winning early contracts with OEMs including VW Group and Stellantis as of 2025.
High OEM demand keeps segment growth >20% CAGR to 2028; LEONI’s unit sales rose ~35% YoY in 2024 for zonal products, but scaling production required ~€120–150m capex 2023–25, keeping it cash-consuming despite strong revenue momentum.
Data Management for Autonomous Driving
Level 3–4 autonomous driving needs fail-safe, high-speed data cables and optical fibers to handle terabytes/day of sensor data; LEONI held about 22% global market share in automotive data-cabling for ADAS and automated driving hardware in 2024, supplying major OEM programs.
These components enable sub-10 ms latency and redundant paths for safety-critical systems, and LEONI’s AD-related revenue was ~€480M in FY 2024, up ~14% year-over-year driven by EV and AV programs.
The segment sees rapid tech churn—coaxial-to-fiber shifts, 800G+ links, and ISO/PAS functional safety requirements—so continuous R&D investment (LEONI spent ~3.1% of sales on R&D in 2024) is needed to sustain leadership.
Sustainable Copper Solutions
LEONI’s carbon-neutral copper processing and recycled-wire lines are Stars in the BCG matrix, driven by ESG demand; recycled-wire revenue grew ~38% y/y in 2024 and accounted for ~14% of wiring-systems sales by Q3 2025.
Automakers buying recycled copper to cut Scope 3 emissions pushed order volumes up 42% in 2024, letting LEONI capture a 12–18% premium versus standard wire prices in 2025.
Market for sustainable wiring is expanding ~2.5x faster than the broader wire market (CAGR 2023–2026 est.), supporting higher margins and faster capacity rollouts.
- 2024 recycled-wire revenue +38% y/y
- 14% of wiring sales from sustainable products (Q3 2025)
- Price premium 12–18% (2025)
- Order volumes +42% (2024)
- Segment CAGR ~2.5x standard market (2023–2026 est.)
Intelligent Charging Cable Systems
LEONI’s Intelligent Charging Cable Systems sit in the Stars quadrant as global charging infrastructure growth pushed liquid-cooled, high-capacity cables into a high-growth market; LEONI’s thermal management tech supports ultra-fast stations and outperforms commodity cable makers.
With global public fast-charging points forecast to reach ~1.2 million by 2025 and infrastructure spend peaking at an estimated $60–80 billion in 2024–25, LEONI has grown share in energy management, reporting double-digit revenue growth in this unit in 2024.
- High growth: market expansion to ~1.2M fast chargers by 2025
- CapEx peak: $60–80B infrastructure spend in 2024–25
- Competitive edge: advanced liquid-cooling thermal tech
- Financials: unit delivered double-digit revenue growth in 2024
LEONI: EV wiring & recycled-copper push high growth, margins—€120–150m capex to scale
LEONI’s EV wiring, zonal architectures, recycled-copper lines, AD data-cabling, and intelligent charging cables are Stars—driving high growth (segment CAGR >20% to 2028), strong share (22% data-cable, ~40% premium EV harnesses), and rising margins (recycled-wire +38% y/y 2024; 14% of wiring sales Q3 2025) but require €120–150m capex 2023–25 to scale.
| Metric | Value |
