DUBLIN, Ireland--Sept. 12, 2005--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c24105) has announced the addition of In-Car Entertainment in China to their offering

Car audio and video electronics is one of mainland China's fastest-growing and most dynamic industries, with many of the current players joining the line only in the last five to eight years. Manufacturing is clustered mostly in the south, specifically in Shenzhen, Guangdong, where there is strong industrial support in terms of SMT, mold-making and plastic injection subcontractors. Other strong production centers are located along the eastern seaboard, including Shanghai and Jiangsu.

Shipments of car CD players, car DVD players and in-car TVs generated about US$800 million in export earnings for China last year, according to the China Audio Industries Association (CAIA). Together with domestic sales in 2003 of nearly US$320 million, mainland Chinas car A/V line has grown into a billion-dollar industry. Export growth in 2004 is projected at a healthy range of 40 percent to 68 percent at minimum, while sales within China are likely to grow another 12 percent to 15 percent.
