Automotive Sensors: Market Shares, Trends, Companies And Forecasts To 2010

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 24, 2007 – While certain types of sensor have long since featured inside vehicles, such as oil pressure, coolant temperature, vehicle speed and fuel level sensors, new applications are emerging, particularly in the emissions and safety related areas.

This exclusive new report Automotive sensors: Market shares, trends, companies and forecasts to 2010 produced focuses in particular on four main types of sensor:

position;

acceleration;

pressure; and

temperature

Position sensors use both contact and contact-less designs to register displacement and angle (e.g. steering wheel angle or brake pedal angle). Acceleration sensors are used to measure acceleration forces in the vehicle. Pressure sensors may be used in smart airbag systems, tyre pressure monitoring systems and common-rail injection systems. Temperature sensors are used to measure temperatures in vehicle intake air, outside atmosphere, cabin, ventilation and heating air, evaporator, engine coolant, engine oil, battery, fuel, tyre air, exhaust gas and brake calipers.

Chapters 3 - 7 set out some product trends and forecast fitment levels for each type of sensor used in passenger cars in each major vehicle-producing region through 2010. This chapter also includes detailed European market shares for accelerator pedal position, throttle position, oil sensor position and level sensor markets for 2003 and 2007. It includes difficult-to-research shares for the North American throttle position and accelerator position sensor market over the same time frame.

Chapter 8 provides brief profiles of the major manufacturers of sensors. This competitive environment is dominated by large suppliers of sensors and sensor systems, with low-cost manufacturing capabilities and continuous investment in R&D. Overall, the sensor industry is typified by large orders, small profit margins and falling prices. The major players profiled in this chapter include AB Electronics, Bosch, Corrsys-Datron, Delphi, Denso, Hella, Honeywell, Infineon Technologies, Motorola, Preh-Werke, Siemens VDO, Texas Instruments, TT Electronics and Valeo.
