AbstractThis Frost & Sullivan research service titled North American Light Vehicle Infotainment Systems Market: Investment Analysis & Growth Opportunities provides financial benchmarking analysis of this market using sector scorecard, company scorecard, year-to-date performance of Frost & Sullivan light vehicle infotainment stocks, mergers and acquisitions, and valuation multiples for infotainment companies. It also includes a growth monitor that ranks companies based on prospective revenue growth. In this research service, Frost & Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine the following segments of the infotainment market: rear seat entertainment systems, compressed audio systems, satellite radio systems, and satellite television systems.Increased Consumer Demand Due to Various Factors Fuels Growth of the North American Light Vehicle Infotainment Systems Market Increased consumer demand in the wake of increased daily average travel time, constant system price declines fuelling product demand and increased installation rates from automakers are all set to drive the growth of the North American light vehicle infotainment systems market. The light vehicle population in North America is huge and growing, thereby presenting considerable potential for the installation of infotainment systems. Nearly 40.0 percent of luxury cars and sports utility vehicles (SUVs) sold in this region are fitted with rear seat entertainment systems. Declining system prices fuelling product demand, and higher installation rates among vehicle manufacturers point to promising growth within the North American light vehicle infotainment systems market during the period 2007-2011. This is a technology-intensive market and continuous product innovation has not only resulted in feature enhancement, but also contributed to lower prices. The improved price-to-performance ratio is likely to make infotainment systems more attractive to consumers, who largely perceive them as luxury goods, particularly since drivers and passengers are increasingly looking for entertainment options in their vehicles to ease the tedium of long commutes. "The increasing average annual miles driven per vehicle, the rapid growth of the consumer electronics industry and high disposable incomes reflected in the desire to spend more on entertainment are strong indicators for the growth of infotainment systems inside light vehicles," notes the analyst of this research service. While consumer demand for these systems is rising, automakers have also started installing them in vehicles at the manufacturing stage to attain some amount of differentiation in the fiercely competitive automotive industry. Market Offers Attractive Investment Opportunities "Overall, growth rates in the North American light vehicle infotainment systems market are promising and there is scope for further consolidation owing to the pressure on operating margins coupled with the quest for market share," says the analyst. "Despite the presence of several well-established participants, the market offers good investment opportunities to financial institutions including private equity companies, venture capitalists, and asset management companies." Frost & Sullivan believes that acquisitions, alliances, and strategic partnerships will hold the key to growth in the infotainment market, which has faced increasing pressure on operating margins. The market may witness acquisitions of regional companies to face the threat of low-cost imports from China. Backward integration with technology and software providers is also expected as participants look for ways to grow their market share in the technology-intensive infotainment market.
