自動車用センサー技術：世界市場

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Although some sensor subsectors are relatively mature and growing at a fairly consistent rate, the automotive sensor industry as a whole is growing much faster than automotive sales. Therefore, BCC believed it was time to reexamine this market to find the reasons for this accelerated growth and bring forth any meaningful trends that could be found.

SCOPE OF STUDY

This report contains:

• Descriptions of various types of automotive sensor technologies, with current and potential applications for each type
• The current global market status of automotive sensor technologies, trends and forecasts of growth over the next 5 years
• Technological issues, including the latest breakthroughs
• A discussion of global research and development initiatives
• An examination of major companies in the automotive sensor technologies industry.
