OEM Automotive Sensors in North America to 2007 - Market Research, Market Share, Market Size, Sales, Demand Forecast, Market Leaders, Company Profiles, Industry Trends

Demand for OEM automotive sensors in North America will increase 10.7 percent annually through 2007. Gains will be driven by new mandated and market-driven sensor-based features. Safety and security offer the best market potential and will eventually surpass the now dominant engine/drivetrain and emissions control sectors.

This study analyzes the US$2.7 billion North American OEM automotive sensors industry. It presents historical demand data (1992, 1997 and 2002) and forecasts to 2007 and 2012 by country (US, Canada, Mexico); and by sensor type (e.g., position, pressure, mass airflow, temperature, vehicle speed, knock sensors, fluid level, oxygen, exhaust gas, evaporative, inertial, wheel speed, object detection, tire inflation).

The study also examines the US market environment, reviews sensor technology, details industry composition and market share, and profiles leading competitors including Delphi, Bosch, Motorola, Autoliv, and Siemens.
