World Manufacture of OE Components For Medium/Heavy Trucks 2014 - 2019: Industry, Competitors & Opportunities
M2 - Tue Mar 31, 8:33AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/3vvjw6/world_manufacture) has announced the addition of the "World Manufacture of OE Components For Medium/Heavy Trucks 2014 - 2019: Global Market Research of the Industry, Competitors & Opportunities" report to their offering. Components equaled 49% of the estimated USD113.19 billion 2014 global medium- and heavy-duty truck production costs. Total demand for components is forecast to grow at a 9.5% compounded annual growth rate during the next five years, faster than the growth rate for truck production itself. This will potentially reduce operating margins and force truck manufacturers to either increase prices, increase productivity or lower non-component costs. The NAFTA region is the largest market for components, accounting for 47.9% of total demand in 2014. The Asia-Pacific region, which in 2014 accounted for less than half of NAFTA demand, will be the fastest growing region during the next five years, due to increasing economic growth in the region and the increase in urbanization and related transportation requirements. Advanced vehicle technologies such as high efficiency powertrains, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, LED lighting, electronic control units, etc., were first adopted for use in automobiles and are now increasingly used in medium- and heavy-duty trucks; therefore these topics are included for discussion in this report. The fastest growth will be in electronics, which are estimated to comprise 6% of the components market in 2014. By 2019, electronics are forecast to equal 8%, equivalent to a 16% CAGR. Advances in automotive electronic technologies add value in areas such as environment, safety/security, and comfort/convenience. In response to tighter regulations world-wide for items such as powertrains and driver safety controls, further advances in the complexity and precision of electronic control systems, and installation of more units of electronic devices such as ECUs, sensors, actuators and connectors, are expected. Along with this will come a faster pace of advances in software to control these devices. There will also be a need for more powerful and more expensive batteries, resulting in a significant growth in battery demand between 2014 and 2019. As car and truck makers grapple with a wide range of technological development needs, including emission controls and meeting fuel efficiency standards, R&D expenditures are ballooning. As a result, in addition to making alliances with other finished vehicle makers, OEMs are likely to outsource more development to the parts makers. The result will be a structure in which finished vehicle manufacturers concentrate their management resources on developing platforms, marketing, and drawing up brand strategies. This report provides a detailed analysis of 25 key suppliers of components to global medium- and heavy-duty truck manufacturers. Component markets are split into the following segments: - Engine - Transmission - HVAC - Body/Chassis - Interior Design - Suspension - Electronics - Battery - Other Key Topics Covered: 1. Preface 2. Executive Summary 3. Introduction 4. Medium/Heavy-Duty Truck Components Market 5. High Efficiency Powertrain 6. Electronics Transform The Supply Chain 7.

Automotive Axle & Propeller Shaft Market by Position, Axle Type, Propeller Shaft Type, Material, & by Region - Forecast and Analysis to 2019
M2 - Tue Mar 24, 7:17AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8r6fxx/automotive_axle) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Axle & Propeller Shaft Market by Position, Axle Type, Propeller Shaft Type, Material, & by Region- Forecast and Analysis to 2019" report to their offering. The global automotive axle & propeller market size in terms of value is estimated to be $35.8 billion in 2014, which is projected to grow to $53.3 billion by 2019 at a CAGR of 8.25%. The growing demand of automobiles for daily commuting has resulted in a direct increase in demand for axles. Axles form an integral component for load bearing, steering, and driving the vehicle. Axles can be live or dead, based on the application and drivetrain of the vehicle. The functioning of the axles depends on the position of the axle in the vehicle. Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV) may integrate more than two axles depending on the application and role of the vehicle. Propeller shaft helps transfer the power from the engine to the wheels and plays a vital role in the drivetrain of the vehicle. The vehicle's architecture and powertrain dictates the position of the propeller shaft. Most automobiles use steel alloy for propeller shafts and axles. However, following increasing stringency of fuel-efficiency regulations, suppliers are focusing on implementing lightweight materials in their products; without sacrificing strength. The use of aluminum and carbon fiber has been limited in these components due to higher cost. With increasing demand for fuel-efficiency, lightweight materials are expected to witness increasing adoption in the automotive industry. The Asia-Oceania and North American regions are growing at a good pace, given the increasing automotive production in these regions. Growing purchasing power, low penetration of automobiles, and infrastructure development in emerging nations such as China, Brazil, and India has resulted in an increase in demand for personal transportation and commercial vehicles. Asia-Oceania is estimated to be the largest market for axles and propeller shafts and is projected to grow at the highest rate from 2014-2019. Global axle & propeller market is dominated by few top players such as ZF Friedrichshafen AG (Germany), American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. (U.S.), Meritor, Inc. (U.S.), Showa Corporation (Germany), and GKN plc (U.K.) along with regional suppliers.

Automotive Axle & Propeller Shaft Market by Position, Axle Type, Propeller Shaft Type, Material, & by Region - Forecast and Analysis to 2019
M2 - Tue Mar 24, 7:17AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/8r6fxx/automotive_axle) has announced the addition of the "Automotive Axle & Propeller Shaft Market by Position, Axle Type, Propeller Shaft Type, Material, & by Region- Forecast and Analysis to 2019" report to their offering. The global automotive axle & propeller market size in terms of value is estimated to be $35.8 billion in 2014, which is projected to grow to $53.3 billion by 2019 at a CAGR of 8.25%. The growing demand of automobiles for daily commuting has resulted in a direct increase in demand for axles. Axles form an integral component for load bearing, steering, and driving the vehicle. Axles can be live or dead, based on the application and drivetrain of the vehicle. The functioning of the axles depends on the position of the axle in the vehicle. Heavy Commercial Vehicles (HCV) may integrate more than two axles depending on the application and role of the vehicle. Propeller shaft helps transfer the power from the engine to the wheels and plays a vital role in the drivetrain of the vehicle. The vehicle's architecture and powertrain dictates the position of the propeller shaft. Most automobiles use steel alloy for propeller shafts and axles. However, following increasing stringency of fuel-efficiency regulations, suppliers are focusing on implementing lightweight materials in their products; without sacrificing strength. The use of aluminum and carbon fiber has been limited in these components due to higher cost. With increasing demand for fuel-efficiency, lightweight materials are expected to witness increasing adoption in the automotive industry. The Asia-Oceania and North American regions are growing at a good pace, given the increasing automotive production in these regions. Growing purchasing power, low penetration of automobiles, and infrastructure development in emerging nations such as China, Brazil, and India has resulted in an increase in demand for personal transportation and commercial vehicles. Asia-Oceania is estimated to be the largest market for axles and propeller shafts and is projected to grow at the highest rate from 2014-2019. Global axle & propeller market is dominated by few top players such as ZF Friedrichshafen AG (Germany), American Axle & Manufacturing, Inc. (U.S.), Meritor, Inc. (U.S.), Showa Corporation (Germany), and GKN plc (U.K.) along with regional suppliers.
