Friday July 3, 08:00 PM
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/624e9b/global_and_china_a)
has announced the addition of the "Global and China Automotive Audio &
Infotainment Industry Report, 2008-2009" report to their offering.
The recession of global automotive industry contrasts with the
prosperity of China automotive industry. In Jan.-Apr. 2009, China's auto
output was 3.725 million sets, by an increase of 6.4%; sales volume
3,832,000, up 9.4%; sale/output ratio was up 2.55 points to 102.6%. As
for models, the output and sale of passenger cars were 2,692,900 and
2,826,700 respectively, up 9.75% and 15.09% year-on-year, and the
sale/output ratio increased 4.87 points to 104.97%. The output and sale
of commercial vehicles were 1,031,900 and 1,005,200, down 1.46% and
3.86%, and the sale/output ratio dropped 2.43 points to 97.41%.
National economic stimulation policies continued to exert effects in
April. Like March, the output and sale of automobiles in April set new
records again, and the cumulative growth margin further expanded. The
auto models that accounted for 52% of total sale and benefited from the
favourable tax policy maintained stable growth rate in production and
sale. The medium and high-end sedans began to revive. The output and
sale of commercial vehicles did not fall sharply as before. The overall
auto industry recovers. In fact, the automotive market in Mainland China
has just begun to emerge, so the continuous high growth in this industry
will be sustainable.
Automotive audio industry has already been a very mature industry.
German, South Korean and Japanese automakers have their own specific
parts and components providers with the cooperative relations of 30
years or 50 years, so it is very difficult for other suppliers to enter
the industry. American automobile manufacturers emphasize cost, leaving
potential opportunities for Chinese enterprises. The three major German
automotive audio manufacturers -- Becker, Blaupunkt and Continental
(Siemens VDO) almost monopolize the German market. Toshiba, Fujitsu Ten,
Alpine, Pioneer, Clarion, JVC Kenwood monopolize the Japanese market.
Hyundai Mobis and Hyundai Autonet are about to merge, and both of them
monopolize the South Korean market. American market is monopolized by
the giants -- Visteon and Delphi.
Automotive Infotainment System is the combination of automotive
information system and entertainment system. Automotive information
system mainly refers to navigation system, Telematics system and
communication system. In 2008, the market valued approximately US$18.7
billion and after-market US$ 6.5 billion.
Becker, Blaupunkt and Continental (Siemens VDO) almost monopolize the
German market. In Japan, Toyota cooperates with AisinAW and Denso; Honda
gets supply from Denso, Pioneer and Alpine; Nissan depends on Clarion,
Alpine and Panasonic. American automakers have more suppliers than any
others, including Becker, Blaupunkt, Continental (Siemens VDO), Denso,
Alpine, Panasonic, Aisin Seiki, Clarion. Ford also has a lot of
suppliers. Hyundai gets supply from Hyundai Autonet. PSA and Fiat mainly
cooperate with Blaupunkt and Magneti-Marelli.
By types, Chinese auto audio and infotainment manufacturers can be
divided into joint ventures, wholly foreign-owned enterprises and local
enterprises. By product, manufacturers can be divided into head-unit
enterprises, navigation enterprises and electro-acoustic enterprises. By
value, sole proprietorship enterprises account for about 50%, joint
ventures 40%, local enterprises 10%. Of total output value, head-unit
enterprises occupy 65%; navigation enterprises 10%; and electro-acoustic
enterprises 25%. Local enterprises focus on electro-acoustic field.
