Vehicle Access and Security Systems: Trends, Forecasts and Companies

As passive entry systems gain widespread appeal, the market for car door lock cylinders is shrinking. With cost pressures in mind, some vehicle makers are now de-contenting their lock applications and eliminating the front passenger door lock. Consequently, some conventional lock set makers are looking at diversifying and broadening their product range, moving into the electronics arena.

The European passive entry systems market alone is set to experience some dramatic increases in installation, and this exclusive second edition report from ABOUT Automotive focuses firmly on the electronics side of the business. The report determines how the market for passive entry systems is shaping up, evaluates consumer acceptance of these systems and assesses the technical hurdles that still need to be jumped.
