Report: Automotive sensors to hit $10 billion in 2006 EE Times (01/17/2006 3:05 PM EST) MANHASSET, N.Y. — The automotive sensors market will reach $10.1 billion in 2006, a year-on-year growth of 11 percent, according to market research firm Strategy Analytics. Titled Automotive Sensor Demand Forecast 2003 – 2012, the study indicates that planned vehicle performance, feature and safety enhancements will drive automotive sensor revenues up to $15.8 billion by 2012, ensuring steady growth for sensor vendors throughout the decade. The largest growth was for silicon-based sensors. Light vehicle production is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 3.6 percent between 2004 and 2009. Over the same period, Strategy Analytics expects automotive sensor revenues to grow by 10.1 percent, as car makers respond to tightening environmental and safety legislation as well as consumer expectations, by introducing electronically controlled innovations to enhance performance, comfort and convenience. "The automotive industry has made great strides toward improved performance in mature electronics applications. Powertrain and safety systems continue to grow, creating new demand for sensors reducing fuel consumption and exhaust emissions while making safer vehicles,” said Simon Schofield, senior analyst, Automotive Practice for Strategy Analytics.
