Abstract
Automotive sensors are an attractive and still-growing multibillion-dollar market characterized by very high production volumes of sensors that must be extremely reliable and low cost. Microsystem sensor technologies meet these needs and thus, are widely accepted for automotive sensor applications. Market growth continues to be driven by increasing demands for more safety and comfort and greater reductions in emissions. Existing sensors will continue to find new applications, and new sensors will emerge to improve functionality.
Although the electronics content of vehicles continually increases, the vehicle market itself is expanding more slowly than in previous years. The net effect is a steady increase in the value of the automotive electronics market as more onboard systems are converted to electrical/electronic systems.
This BCC study focuses on key sensor products and applications in automotive markets and provides data about market size and growth, company profiles and industry trends. The study also provides a detailed and comprehensive look at the North American, European, Japanese, Korean and rest-of-world markets for automotive sensors and potential future business opportunities.
