This has been a very stable market over the last few years. Manufacturers have taken notice and are attracted to this market. However, new players must proceed with care, as production cycles for automotive semiconductors can range from three to five years. A very different business scenario than the one seen for consumer or telecom semiconductor production times, which can run for only a few months, and rarely exceed two years.

This study, while focused on analog and mixed signal products, provides in depth coverage into the consumption of silicon in the automotive market segment. Subsystems are examined with end market dynamics discussed and forecasts provided for powertrain, safety systems, cockpit electronics, and the aftermarket. Regional consumption forecasts are provided along with profiles for suppliers and market share.
