Global Automotive Seats Market Forecast & Opportunities, 2018: Lear, Toyota Boshoku, Johnson Controls & Faurecia Dominate
M2 - Tue Jan 21, 10:22AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/rtr3z6/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The Global Automotive Seats market to grow at a CAGR of 4.35 percent over the period 2013-2018.

Global Automotive Bumpers Market 2014-2018: The Major Challenge Faced By the Market is the Inefficiency of Bumpers
M2 - Wed Jan 15, 5:20AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4kxn9v/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Bumpers Market 2014-2018" report to their offering. The analysts forecast the Global Automotive Bumpers market to grow at a CAGR of 4.76 percent over the period 2013-2018. One of the key factors contributing to this market growth is improved safety provided to the vehicles. The Global Automotive Bumpers market has also been witnessing the growing adoption of plastic bumpers. However, the inefficiency issues could pose a challenge to the growth of this market. Key vendors dominating this space are Compagnie Plastic Omnium, Faurecia SA, Magna International Inc., Futaba Industrial Co. Ltd., and Toyoda Gosei Co. Ltd Other vendors mentioned in the report are Alcoa Inc., Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbH, Flex-N-Gate Corp., and Van-Rob Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: A major trend being witnessed in the Global Automotive Bumpers market is the increasing preference for plastic bumpers over traditional metal ones. Metal bumpers were extremely popular in the past as they are very sturdy and durable. However, automobile manufacturers currently prefer using plastic bumpers as they can be used to increase the aesthetic appeal of an automobile. Also, plastic bumpers have an additional structure embedded within them. This structure contains foam energy absorbers which facilitate better protection for the automobile. It is expected that these features will increase the use of plastic bumpers significantly in the coming years. According to the report, the main factor driving the use of bumpers across all geographies is the fact that they provide improved safety for the driver and passengers. Bumpers help in minimizing the impact of an accident and thereby improve the safety of occupants.

Global and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry Report, 2013
M2 - Fri Jan 10, 4:14AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7xxfdd/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry Report, 2013" report to their offering. The global automotive exhaust system market size approximated USD 31.7 billion in 2013, only a slight increase of 1.3% year on year, mainly due to the EU market downturn, Japanese yen devaluation and China's delay of Emission Standard IV for diesel vehicles. However, as emission standards become more and more stringent, the market size of exhaust systems, especially those for diesel vehicles, will grow steadily, and is expected to rise by 4.1% to USD 33 billion in 2014. The much-anticipated Chinese market for the fourth time delayed the implementation of Emission Standard IV which was initially announced by the government in May 2005 to be effective on January 1, 2011. The implementation was rescheduled in January 2012 to take effect on July 1, 2013, which was failed too, and now is expected to be postponed to July 2014 at the earliest. Many foreign agencies believe that the SCR technology corresponding to China's Emission Standard IV may not be promoted in China. For Chinese manufacturers, SCR is unacceptable because of the growing one-time procurement amount and, most importantly, the significant increase in operating costs. In order to make diesel vehicles comply with Emission Standard IV, it's necessary to add the automotive urea solution equivalent to 4%-6% of diesel consumption, and the cost of urea solution is nearly RMB 5 / liter, which means about RMB 20 of urea per 100 km, greatly increasing the follow-up operating costs of vehicles. Key Topics Covered 1. Global Automotive Market 1.1 Global Automotive Market 1.2 Global Automotive Industry 2. Chinese Automotive Market 2.1 Overview 2.2 Recent Developments 2.3 Chinese Automotive Industry 3. Automotive Exhaust System 3.1 Profile 3.2 Three-Way Catalytic Converter 3.3 National Emission Standard IV for Diesel Exhaust System 3.4 Prospect of Global Emission Standards for Heavy-duty Diesel Vehicles 3.5 Timeline of Global Emission Standards 3.6 Development Trend of Exhaust System for Light-duty Vehicles 3.7 Development Trend of Exhaust System for Heavy-duty Vehicles 3.8 Forecast of Automotive Emission Regulations in China to 2020 4.

Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Report 2013: TWC, Acoustic Management & Exhaust Heat Recovery
M2 - Thu Nov 21, 9:13AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lw3np5/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Report 2013" report to their offering. The exhaust and after-treatment market is set for considerable growth, not only through the significant global vehicle production volume growth forecast but also through significant increases in the revenue generated for each system. The tightening regulatory environment has led to considerably increased revenues per vehicle and this is set to improve globally as emerging high growth markets catch up with Europe and Northern America in terms of the level of equipment needed to meet regulations. Automotive emissions system technology is precompetitive not only in the US and Europe, but largely, across emerging markets as well. The awkward, and ultimately costly situation where different national and regional regulation and testing regimes that have required different emissions technologies and systems in order to satisfy disparate markets is being steadily eroded by the harmonisation of emissions regulations. A measure that will bring huge long term benefits to those players in the exhaust and aftertreatment sector. Having initially endured the difficult situation of meeting environmental regulations developed across three different markets; the US, the European Union and Japan, OEMs and suppliers have found that emerging markets have largely been able to pick their regulation 'off the shelf' which has meant that those suppliers that have successfully developed technology to meet those regulations enjoy a competitive advantage in the emerging markets. About this report This fourth edition examines the key drivers in this sector including fuel economy and CO2 emissions, noxious emissions and health concerns and platinum group metal trends. The report goes on to examine exhaust and aftertreatment technologies, in particular gasoline engine emissions control and diesel engine emissions control. It considers regional forecasts of vehicle production by fuel type and considers the global growth of the exhaust and aftertreatment component market. The report contains a wealth of figures and tables and is accompanied by 18 detailed profiles of the major supplier companies active in the sector. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2. Key drivers - Fuel economy and CO2 emissions - Criterion emissions - Particulate Matters - Testing regimes - Platinum Group Metals trends 3. Exhaust and after-treatment technology - Three-Way Catalytic converter (TWC) - Acoustic management - Exhaust heat recovery systems 4. The exhaust and after-treatment systems market - The OEM market - The Aftermarket 5. Supplier Profiles - Bienes Turgon - Bosal - Boysen - Calsonic Kansei - Ebersp?cher - Emitec - Faurecia - Futaba - Johnson Matthey - KSPG - Magneti Marelli - Sichuan Bohong Group - Tenneco - Umicore - Wahler Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lw3np5/automotive

Ltd Other vendors mentioned in the report are Alcoa Inc., Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbH, Flex-N-Gate Corp., and Van-Rob Inc. Commenting on the report, an analyst from the team said: A major trend being witnessed in the Global Automotive Bumpers market is the increasing preference for plastic bumpers over traditional metal ones. Metal bumpers were extremely popular in the past as they are very sturdy and durable. However, automobile manufacturers currently prefer using plastic bumpers as they can be used to increase the aesthetic appeal of an automobile.

It is expected that these features will increase the use of plastic bumpers significantly in the coming years. According to the report, the main factor driving the use of bumpers across all geographies is the fact that they provide improved safety for the driver and passengers. Bumpers help in minimizing the impact of an accident and thereby improve the safety of occupants.

Global and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry Report, 2013
M2 - Fri Jan 10, 4:14AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/7xxfdd/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry Report, 2013" report to their offering. The global automotive exhaust system market size approximated USD 31.7 billion in 2013, only a slight increase of 1.3% year on year, mainly due to the EU market downturn, Japanese yen devaluation and China's delay of Emission Standard IV for diesel vehicles. However, as emission standards become more and more stringent, the market size of exhaust systems, especially those for diesel vehicles, will grow steadily, and is expected to rise by 4.1% to USD 33 billion in 2014. The much-anticipated Chinese market for the fourth time delayed the implementation of Emission Standard IV which was initially announced by the government in May 2005 to be effective on January 1, 2011. The implementation was rescheduled in January 2012 to take effect on July 1, 2013, which was failed too, and now is expected to be postponed to July 2014 at the earliest. Many foreign agencies believe that the SCR technology corresponding to China's Emission Standard IV may not be promoted in China. For Chinese manufacturers, SCR is unacceptable because of the growing one-time procurement amount and, most importantly, the significant increase in operating costs. In order to make diesel vehicles comply with Emission Standard IV, it's necessary to add the automotive urea solution equivalent to 4%-6% of diesel consumption, and the cost of urea solution is nearly RMB 5 / liter, which means about RMB 20 of urea per 100 km, greatly increasing the follow-up operating costs of vehicles. Key Topics Covered 1. Global Automotive Market 1.1 Global Automotive Market 1.2 Global Automotive Industry 2. Chinese Automotive Market 2.1 Overview 2.2 Recent Developments 2.3 Chinese Automotive Industry 3.

Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Report 2013: TWC, Acoustic Management & Exhaust Heat Recovery
M2 - Thu Nov 21, 9:13AM CST
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/lw3np5/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Report 2013" report to their offering. The exhaust and after-treatment market is set for considerable growth, not only through the significant global vehicle production volume growth forecast but also through significant increases in the revenue generated for each system. The tightening regulatory environment has led to considerably increased revenues per vehicle and this is set to improve globally as emerging high growth markets catch up with Europe and Northern America in terms of the level of equipment needed to meet regulations. Automotive emissions system technology is precompetitive not only in the US and Europe, but largely, across emerging markets as well. The awkward, and ultimately costly situation where different national and regional regulation and testing regimes that have required different emissions technologies and systems in order to satisfy disparate markets is being steadily eroded by the harmonisation of emissions regulations. A measure that will bring huge long term benefits to those players in the exhaust and aftertreatment sector. Having initially endured the difficult situation of meeting environmental regulations developed across three different markets; the US, the European Union and Japan, OEMs and suppliers have found that emerging markets have largely been able to pick their regulation 'off the shelf' which has meant that those suppliers that have successfully developed technology to meet those regulations enjoy a competitive advantage in the emerging markets. About this report This fourth edition examines the key drivers in this sector including fuel economy and CO2 emissions, noxious emissions and health concerns and platinum group metal trends. The report goes on to examine exhaust and aftertreatment technologies, in particular gasoline engine emissions control and diesel engine emissions control. It considers regional forecasts of vehicle production by fuel type and considers the global growth of the exhaust and aftertreatment component market. The report contains a wealth of figures and tables and is accompanied by 18 detailed profiles of the major supplier companies active in the sector. Key Topics Covered: 1. Introduction 2. Key drivers - Fuel economy and CO2 emissions - Criterion emissions - Particulate Matters - Testing regimes - Platinum Group Metals trends 3. Exhaust and after-treatment technology - Three-Way Catalytic converter (TWC) - Acoustic management - Exhaust heat recovery systems 4.
