世界の乗用車および小型トラック用フロントエンド・モジュール市場動向：2013年までの予測

Abstract

Interest in front-end modules has increased over the last ten years, partly due to the focus on vehicle safety issues and the need to comply with guidelines from the European Union (EU) for pedestrian safety. New EU regulations aimed at protecting pedestrians and cyclists involved in a collision with a vehicle have led to some novel innovations, with plastics manufacturers introducing a number of energy-absorbing ideas.

The European market has been the fastest-growing region in the world in terms of demand for front-end modules, with a number of manufacturers serving the market. However, this market is showing some signs of stabilisation, and as the European market reaches maturity, NAFTA, Chinese, Korean and even Japanese vehiclemakers are starting to take a keen interest in outsourcing these modules.

This fourth edition of just-auto' s front-end modules provides an overview of the vehicle front-end modules industry, giving top level market fitment, volume and value forecasts for Europe, NAFTA, Japan, China, South Korea and South America from 2003 through to 2013.

We review the key market drivers for vehicle front-end modules, and update the technical review and market analysis.
