Abstract
This Intelligence Set includes the fourth edition of the electrical wiring
report, along with profiles of Alcoa Fujikura, Delphi, Lear, Leoni, Valeo and
Yazaki.
It offers excellent value for money and will allow you to discover where the
market is heading, what the latest innovations are, and how your competitors
are performing.
There are a number of forces driving the electrical and electronic
distribution systems (EEDS) market, including cost pressures, safety and
environmental concerns. An auto executive told just-auto that: "The major
driving force is the need to improve fuel consumption and cut emissions. We
are seeing more and more hybrid and electric vehicles supporting this trend.
Both of these trends can be only be solved by the increasing use of
electronics."
So, as hybrid vehicles make tough demands on EEDS, these have significant
effects upon the architecture.
The feature content of new cars is also increasing year on year, as another
auto executive told us: “About 50% of electrical and electronic comfort
and convenience features that are available in a modern car today were simply
not around ten years ago. Features like multimedia systems, telephones, rear
seat entertainment, remote keyless entry and tyre pressure monitoring systems
all consume more energy. We must therefore look at novel, cost-effective ways
in which to integrate those new features.”
This fourth edition of our popular Global market review of automotive
electrical wiring systems addresses these trends, reviews the key market
drivers for vehicle electrical distribution systems, and offers updated market
analysis.
The report provides market share estimates for vehicle wire harnesses, as well
as product fitment forecasts for vehicle wiring harnesses by value worldwide,
and by major car-producing region, namely Europe, North America, China and
Japan.
We take a brief look at the emerging markets, and include information on the
market players, such as INTERDIS and Yazaki Corp with comment from executives
also provided.
Research methodology
This report is intended to provide an overview of vehicle electrical
distribution systems, providing top level market fitment, volume and value
forecasts through to 2013. 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.
Our approach is divided into two distinct methodologies:
- qualitative interviews - these are generally opinion-based, which
aim to build knowledge about future vehicle electrical distribution system
market trends and company strategies; and
- quantitative interviews - typically fact-based, focused on
establishing market values, shares, and volumes.
