Abstract
Description
Vision-sensing technology is something that has been around since the early
1990s but which only recently has become a hot topic within the automotive
industry. This brand new report from IMS Research looks at demand for
applications that use camera modules, demand for camera modules themselves and
demand for image sensors.
It starts with providing market forecasts of eleven applications in eight
geographical regions. Some of the applications always use a camera module;
others have alternative sensor technologies to choose between; while some do
not currently use camera modules at all. Trends in fitment rate, system
average selling price (US$) and market revenues are provided for each system
in each region from 2006 to 2015.
The report moves on to look at demand for camera modules themselves looking at
location of camera module in the vehicle (front, interior, side and rear).
The report then discusses the image sensor, outlining the significance of six
key parameters (speed, colour, technology, dynamic range, noise and shutter).
It also provides a market forecast for the two competing sensor technologies
(CCD and CMOS).
Summary profiles are presented for 23 leading suppliers including Autoliv,
Robert Bosch, Siemens VDO, and Panasonic. An analysis of the competitive
environment is also provided, including market shares for 2006.
This study is ideal for anyone looking for a detailed quantitative analysis of
the worldwide automotive camera module market. This includes vehicle
manufacturers, system suppliers, software suppliers, component suppliers (e.g.
semiconductors, passives, sensors, connectors, switches) as well as investment
bankers, VCs and other automotive industry watchers.
