Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8qdbfx/global_and) has announced the addition of the "Global and Chinese Automotive Audio and Infotainment Industry Report 2014" report to their offering. The design of infotainment system has become unprecedentedly sophisticated, which caused differentiation of infotainment industry. The infotainment firms, especially European and American ones, which have close cooperation with carmakers, focus on design and outsource or purchase hardware as much as possible, while the companies, which originally excelled in hardware manufacturing, notably Japanese ones, started making more efforts in hardware field, providing OEM service or key parts. For now, regardless of any infotainment, its head-unit must be equipped with a suite of CD/DVD Mechanism, with over 75% market share held by Panasonic, J&K and Pioneer. Due to high barriers to entry, profit of OEM is no less than that of brand vendors. Local infotainment companies have little say in China automotive industry. Foreign side controls joint ventures' purchase of key parts, which are almost bought from joint ventures or solely foreign-owned enterprises, and indigenous brands purchase parts produced mainly by joint ventures. In the arena of infotainment, except Desay SV Automotive, which provides OEM, other companies can only operate in the aftermarket which has low threshold and is full of small companies. Combined with the yearly growing proportion of navigation-equipped new automobile, the aftermarket will gradually shrink.
