STUDY GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Today' s automobiles have become highly complex. Sophisticated electronic control systems and the majority of innovations have been achieved through electronics and the use of advanced sensors. A range of technologies has been used over the past 20 years, including silicon micro-engineering, thick film, capacitive, variable reluctance, optical and radar. As the electronic content in vehicles increases, demand for automotive sensor applications will continue to grow unabated. While certain types of sensor have long been featured inside vehicles, such as oil pressure, coolant temperature, vehicle speed and fuel level sensors, new applications are emerging, particularly in the emissions and safety-related areas. The environment for these sensors continues to be challenging with respect to robustness, reliability, quality and cost. This report will focus on the various types of sensors used in automobiles, the market for each type of sensor, the market for application of each type of sensor and regional markets for these sensors.

SCOPE OF REPORT

Sensor controlled systems have become an integral part of today' s automobile. A multitude of electro-mechanical devices have become better refined and more efficient with their application. The past few decades have witnessed the development and deployment of a range of sensing technologies that have both supported and enabled the introduction of advanced electronic systems. The environment for these sensors continues to be increasingly challenging with respect to robustness, reliability, quality and cost. Sensor suppliers face the continuing mandate to deliver more capability at less cost. Existing sensors will continue to find new applications, building upon their historical performance track record, and new sensors will emerge to improve system functionality and enable future advanced systems. This report will study the areas in the production of an automobile, which have advanced with the use of sensors and the markets for these sensors in various applications and regions.

This report also concentrates on the global and regional markets for technologies involved in the manufacture of different types of automobile sensors and the markets for applications in which these automobile sensors will be utilized, as well as the basic technologies involved in the manufacture of such equipment. The report also provides profiles of various manufacturers of automobile sensors, their market-share, and their research and development (R&D) efforts to create new sensor technologies. The report also provides information concerning different patents on various sensor technologies and types of patents, along with a patent analysis.
