Abstract
Brand new research on vehicle security and access systems
This exclusive new report from ABOUT Automotive updates and extends our first
analysis of this sector, which was published in 2005. This new research looks
at the ways in which the market for passive entry and other related
technologies have developed.
In particular the report looks at the development of smart keys and additional
features which the car companies have added to door latches and locking
systems including power release, power close and developments in keyless entry.
The report also discusses the development of electronic latches and the
problems with their adoption.
The report includes case studies of the locking systems on individual
vehicles, such as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the first van to have remote
keyless entry. It also describes how the vehicle security market has evolved
in the last decade and where it might be heading.
Differences between Europe, North America and Japan are described, together
with projections for take-up rates of new technologies.
The report also identifies the main suppliers in this market, analyses their
product offerings and strategies - as well as their strengths and weaknesses.
Market shares throughout the markets of Europe, North America and Japan are
also provided.
