Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes the latest edition of automotive electric
motors, plus supplier profiles for Arvin Meritor, Bosch, Continental, Denso,
Johnson Electric, Siemends VDO and Valeo.
Electric motors can adjust seats and headlights, power side windows and
mirrors, assist braking and steering, and are found in anything that has an
electrical movement or solenoid function. With as many as 120 electric motors
stuffed into a luxury car, manufacturers are finding some novel ways in which
to package them. As electric motors proliferate around the car, manufacturers
have developed lighter and more compact units. Manufacturers are also working
on ways to reduce the size of automotive electric motors while retaining or
improving existing performance. Overall, the main drivers of electric motor
development are power density, size, weight, noise and functionality.
This report provides a global review of the market for automotive electric
motors, providing top level market fitment, volume and value forecasts through
2014. Our forecasts are not extrapolative but dependent on the underlying
drivers of supply and demand. Our forecasts are largely based on interviews
with the author' s extensive international network of industry contacts. This
allows us to consider and explain the meaning and implications of industry
events, rather than offer simple description based on incomplete data. All
forecast data in this report has been conducted using recent interviews,
therefore taking into account the recent economic downturn.
In this, the fifth edition of this report, which is 2,000 words longer than
the previous edition, just-auto reviews the key market drivers for electric
motors, and updates the market analysis.
