Automotive Electronics - A Profile of International Markets and Suppliers analyses the market for non-entertainment electronic systems within passenger cars. Now in its Eighth edition, the publication has monitored the dramatic growth in the use of automotive electronic systems, a market driven by legislation, customer demand and the benefits electronics bring to the car manufacturer. Continued growth however, will be achieved in a rapidly changing environment. The development of new and emerging markets, the aftermath of the global downturn in automobile production in 2008 and 2009, the impact of ever more stringent emission standards, the move to downsize, the emergence of hybrid and electric vehicles, concentration within the supply industry and the move to a systems approach are just some of the factors which will influence the automotive electronics market as we enter a new decade.

Section 2, the Management Briefing, provides a summary of the key findings of the report.

Section 3 is an overview of the principal market trends within the automotive electronics industry. The chapter looks at key products and applications in the area of powertrain, body and chassis, passenger safety, instrumentation and display and convenience. The market data, included in Section 3, was compiled in June and July 2010, with a forecast through to 2014. The publication does not look at the use of electronics for commercial vehicles or the market for infotainment systems (including communications), both important markets in their own rights.

Information has been obtained through desk research and interviews across all sectors of the industry. Information has also been obtained from relevant associations and government bodies.

Statistics on world car production have been compiled from data from the relevant associations and car manufacturers, with the forecasts based on information from the interview programme and consideration to other monitoring organisations.

The leading electronic system manufacturers are profiled in Section 4, along with details on the structure of the industry.

The directory section covers the major manufacturers of automotive electronic systems worldwide. The information has been obtained via telephone and Internet based research.

Section 6 provides a breakdown of car production by segment and a table of exchange rates against the US dollar.
