Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/r57qnl/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Bumpers Market 2014-2018 with Compagnie Plastic Omnium, Faurecia, Magna, Futaba Industrial & Toyoda Gosei Dominating" report to their offering. 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. Further, the report states that the major challenge faced by the market is the inefficiency of bumpers. There are many instances where the bumpers do not fit correctly with the automobile geometry and tend not to stay engaged in the required position. This can be a major issue during collisions as the main purpose of the bumpers is not achieved. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Compagnie Plastic Omnium - Faurecia SA - Magna International Inc. - Futaba Industrial Co. Ltd. - Toyoda Gosei Co. Ltd Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - Alcoa Inc. - Benteler Automobiltechnik GmbH - Flex-N-Gate Corp. - Van-Rob Inc. Key questions answered in this report: - What will the market size be in 2018 and what will the growth rate be? - What are the key market trends? - What is driving this market? - What are the challenges to market growth? - Who are the key vendors in this market space? - What are the market opportunities and threats faced by the key vendors? - What are the strengths and weaknesses of the key vendors?

Concise Analysis of the International and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry
M2 - Mon Mar 31, 4:24AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ftv5jv/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry" report to their offering. Currently, Sinopec's automotive urea solution filling stations in China are operating at a loss. In the short term, barreled urea solution will still occupy the mainstream market, but it has high requirements on storage and transportation, therefore, it's difficult for domestic Emission Standard IV-compliant vehicle users to refuel urea solution conveniently. Truck drivers' use of urea solution is uncontrollable, they can only use urea solution in annual vehicle inspection or examination, which means the insignificance of SCR even it's available. The government is well aware of this, so China is energetically promoting EGR, especially for diesel vehicles under 2L. There is no position for SCR on the market. In addition, the quality of China's oil products is poor, Sinopec, China's largest oil refinery, has just completed the upgrading of Standard III diesel, and has no schedule for Standard IV. Most EGR-enabled engines cannot use Standard III diesel which may do harm to the engines. Currently, China needs to import Standard IV diesel from other countries and regions. Key Topics Covered: 1.

M2 - Fri Mar 21, 10:37AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ld6gsg/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating" report to their offering. Earlier, automotive seats were heavy, space-consuming objects in vehicles with little added value and comfort. The traditional seating systems were in demand due to the vehicle condition and taste preferences of the consumers. However, in recent years, customers purchasing vehicles are more concerned about the weight of the seats and the space that they occupy in the total available vehicle space. This is mainly because the total weight of the vehicle is an important factor that determines the overall performance and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. In addition, the high demand for compact automobiles in developing countries due to their cost advantage has increased the demand for thinner and lighter seats that occupy less space in the vehicle. Hence, the demand for thinner seats with a high strength-to-weight ratio is a recent trend being witnessed in the market. According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increased emphasis on driver and passenger comfort. OEMs are increasingly focusing on driver and passenger comfort, which is predicted to have a significant impact on the market. Moreover, the increasing number of accidents has created awareness among people of the need to improve driver comfort and thereby reduce distractions while driving. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the highly volatile prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of automotive seats. The prices of raw materials such as leather and polyester, which are used in automotive seats, are constantly fluctuating due to various microeconomic factors, thereby presenting a challenge for OEMs. Key vendors dominating this market space are: - Johnson Controls INC. - Lear Corp. - Faurecia EO - Toyota Boshoku Corp. Other Companies Featured: - Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd. - Amerigon - Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.KG - Dura Automotive Systems LLC - Grammer AG - Grupo - Antolin Irausa S.A. - Kongsberg Automotive - Magna International Inc. - Martinrea International Inc. - NHK Spring Co.

Concise Analysis of the International Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Industry
M2 - Thu Mar 20, 4:53AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vvlgjm/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Industry" 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. 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 3. Exhaust and after-treatment technology 4. The exhaust and after-treatment systems market 5. Supplier Profiles Companies Mentioned: - 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/vvlgjm/automotive

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.

Concise Analysis of the International and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry
M2 - Mon Mar 31, 4:24AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ftv5jv/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International and Chinese Automotive Exhaust System Industry" report to their offering. Currently, Sinopec's automotive urea solution filling stations in China are operating at a loss. In the short term, barreled urea solution will still occupy the mainstream market, but it has high requirements on storage and transportation, therefore, it's difficult for domestic Emission Standard IV-compliant vehicle users to refuel urea solution conveniently. Truck drivers' use of urea solution is uncontrollable, they can only use urea solution in annual vehicle inspection or examination, which means the insignificance of SCR even it's available. The government is well aware of this, so China is energetically promoting EGR, especially for diesel vehicles under 2L. There is no position for SCR on the market. In addition, the quality of China's oil products is poor, Sinopec, China's largest oil refinery, has just completed the upgrading of Standard III diesel, and has no schedule for Standard IV. Most EGR-enabled engines cannot use Standard III diesel which may do harm to the engines. Currently, China needs to import Standard IV diesel from other countries and regions. Key Topics Covered: 1.

Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating
M2 - Fri Mar 21, 10:37AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/ld6gsg/global_automotive) has announced the addition of the "Global Automotive Seats Market 2014-2018 with Johnson Controls, Lear, Faurecia EO & Toyota Boshoku Dominating" report to their offering. Earlier, automotive seats were heavy, space-consuming objects in vehicles with little added value and comfort. The traditional seating systems were in demand due to the vehicle condition and taste preferences of the consumers. However, in recent years, customers purchasing vehicles are more concerned about the weight of the seats and the space that they occupy in the total available vehicle space. This is mainly because the total weight of the vehicle is an important factor that determines the overall performance and fuel efficiency of the vehicle. In addition, the high demand for compact automobiles in developing countries due to their cost advantage has increased the demand for thinner and lighter seats that occupy less space in the vehicle. Hence, the demand for thinner seats with a high strength-to-weight ratio is a recent trend being witnessed in the market. According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is the increased emphasis on driver and passenger comfort. OEMs are increasingly focusing on driver and passenger comfort, which is predicted to have a significant impact on the market. Moreover, the increasing number of accidents has created awareness among people of the need to improve driver comfort and thereby reduce distractions while driving. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the highly volatile prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of automotive seats. The prices of raw materials such as leather and polyester, which are used in automotive seats, are constantly fluctuating due to various microeconomic factors, thereby presenting a challenge for OEMs. Key vendors dominating this market space are: - Johnson Controls INC. - Lear Corp. - Faurecia EO - Toyota Boshoku Corp. Other Companies Featured: - Aisin Seiki Co. Ltd. - Amerigon - Brose Fahrzeugteile GmbH & Co.KG - Dura Automotive Systems LLC - Grammer AG - Grupo - Antolin Irausa S.A. - Kongsberg Automotive - Magna International Inc. - Martinrea International Inc. - NHK Spring Co.

Concise Analysis of the International Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Industry
M2 - Thu Mar 20, 4:53AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/vvlgjm/automotive) has announced the addition of the "Concise Analysis of the International Automotive Exhaust & Aftertreatment Systems Industry" 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. 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 3. Exhaust and after-treatment technology 4. The exhaust and after-treatment systems market 5. Supplier Profiles Companies Mentioned: - 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/vvlgjm/automotive

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.
