Abstract
Global demand to advance 11.7% yearly through 2014
Global demand for light vehicle original equipment manufacturer (OEM)
automotive sensors will advance 11.7 percent annually through 2014 to $15.8
billion, rebounding from depressed 2009 levels. In addition to the expected
recovery from the 2008-2009 recession, automotive sensor demand will receive
uplift from increasing regulatory pressure and the continued search among
automakers for cost-effective ways to differentiate their products. Sensor
demand grows hand-inhand with electronics demand, which itself has expanded
substantially during the past decade, despite the impact of the recession in
developed markets.
Emerging markets to grow faster, yet offer less sensor revenues per vehicle
The 2008-2009 recession caused developed and emerging automotive markets to
bifurcate, with the former suffering from massive sales drop-offs while the
latter moved forward, apparently from strength to strength. The sheer
recessioncaused abnormality of the global market for light vehicles and the
electronics and sensors they contain can be seen in 2009 sales performance.
Sales in key developed markets such as the US, Western Europe and Japan fell
9.2, 2.1 and 4.4 percent per year, respectively, from 2004 to 2009, while
ascendant emerging markets Brazil, China, and India grew 14.1, 26.4 and 12.1
percent per year, respectively, during the same period. While the
faster-growing emerging markets will likely set the global pace going forward,
they do not produce the same per-vehicle sensor revenues because many of the
sensor technologies they currently contain and will use in the future have
already been commoditized in terms of price.
Automotive sensors to continue as leader in new technology applications
The industry continues to be a leader in finding ever more applications for
microelectromechanical sensor (MEMS) technologies, including new inertia,
pressure and position sensing roles. Beyond advantages in packaging and
reliability, perhaps the greatest benefit of MEMS technology to the auto
industry is in terms of cost, which can be significantly lower than competing
technologies. Other sensors of interest include object and headway detection
systems, which can utilize a mix of sonic, laser, radar and vision
technologies to avoid accidents and increase vehicle safety. In developed
markets, the coming decade is rapidly shaping up to be one focused on
expanding the driver' s capabilities to react to events or to see further and
anticipate more fully any potential challenge ahead on the roadway, and
sensors are slated to play major roles. However, in the medium term, society' s
new focus on frugality could signal a reduction in interest in the latest
sensor applications.
Growth in engine/drivetrain, emissions control sensors to remain robust
Engine/drivetrain and emission control applications represent large, well
established sensor categories. Future growth should remain robust in both
developed and emerging markets as automakers seek new sensor applications
focused on improved fuel efficiency and related carbon dioxide abatement, as
OEMs worldwide react to rising fuel prices.
Study coverage
This new Freedonia industry study, World Automotive Sensors presents historical demand data (1999, 2004 and 2009) plus forecasts
