World Automotive Sensors
This study analyzes the world market for sensors used by automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the manufacture of light vehicles, which are defined as automobiles and light trucks and vans, including sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Historical data are provided for 1995, 2000 and 2005, with forecasts provided to 2010 and 2015. Data are presented for world sales of OEM automotive sensor by type (engine and drivetrain; safety and security; emission control; and other) and by geographical region, including North America, Western Europe, the Asia/Pacific region and Other Regions. Within each regional section, demand is presented for key nations. Demand is given in millions of current US dollars (including inflation) at the manufacturer’s level. The entire study is framed within the overall industry's economic and market environment.
