1. Executive Summary List of Figures Chapter 2 Chapter 5 AbstractResearch OverviewThis Frost & Sullivan research service entitled World Market for Mixed Signal SoC for Automobiles provides the revenue forecasts, unit shipment forecasts, trends, drivers, restraints, and challenges in global markets for the mixed signal SoC in automobiles. In this research service, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following markets/applications/technologies: MxSoCs in automobiles. Market Sectors Expert Frost & Sullivan analysts thoroughly examine the following market sectors in this research: Analysis across Mixed Signal System on Chip for Automobiles Including:
The following technology is covered in this research:
Demand for More Features in Vehicles Drives Market Growth With innovative automobile electronics serving as considerable value additions, consumers are increasingly demanding features that enhance overall traveling pressure. Such features include climate control, lighting, as well as humidity and the mixed signal system on a chip (MxSoC) is a single-source solution that can manage the entire spectrum of features in a vehicle. MxSoC applications are expected to further extend to a range of new intelligent and compact systems, prompting semiconductor companies to heighten their focus on the automobile industry by developing a wider range of solutions for the industry. There is now a widely shared vision among chip designers, suppliers, as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and this promises a clear commitment to improvising the use of the technology in the automobile end-user segment. In addition to the growing popularity of novel comfort features, the increasing demand for advanced safety systems as well as driver infotainment systems is likely to spur the use of MxSoC in automobiles. "Safety functions such as braking systems, suspension, torque demand, steering control, and time-triggered systems are enjoying greater demand and employ mixed signal chipsets to alert drivers ahead of any possible mishaps," explains the analyst of this research service. "With respect to infotainment features, more and more consumers are opting for wireless systems, onboard computers, information display, as well as voice processing capabilities in their vehicles and this has lead to tremendous technology improvements from companies developing MxSoCs." Vendor Contracts Remain a Barrier to Expanding Market Share Apart from the high cost of development and the need for integrated components for signal processing, notable challenge for MxSoC participants wishing to expand their market share is the issue of vendor contracts. Automobile manufacturers generally enter into fixed contracts with vendors that provide them with products that integrate with their specific parts in vehicles and this makes it difficult for new entrants or existing participants to expand their market reach. In overcoming this challenge, participants will need to lay greater emphasis on differentiating their products, not only in terms of features, but also with regards to their pricing. In terms of geographic regions, Europe is the predominant revenue generator for MxSoC in the automobiles market and is expected to garner a market share of around 58.0 percent in 2006. Among the others, the Americas (including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and Latin America) as well as Asia Pacific are likely to account for an almost equal share of the remaining market revenues between 2006 and 2009. "Overall, in the next ten years, MxSoC in automobiles are likely to offer tremendous market opportunities for vendors in the segment," says the analyst. "MxSoCs are expected to have a tremendous impact on the market and are posed to be among the best emerging opportunities in the automotive segment." Get Full Details About This Report >> |
