Some Giants Struggle, Some Minnows BoomBoston, MA - May 23, 2005 -- Strategy Analytics today released, "Automotive Vendor Profiles," from its Automotive Electronics Service, profiling the leading global automotive electronics vendors and charting their relative successes and failures.
Key themes that emerge from this analysis include increased success for Japanese-based vendors, with a corresponding increased focus on the automotive market from more generalist companies, such as Hitachi and Toshiba. Conversely, some automotive-centric vendors based in flat markets, such as Delphi, are seeking to expand sales to non-automotive markets.
"Analyzing the 5-year average total sales growth rates of the main companies in this report shows that it is now Japanese-based companies, in general, that are growing fastest," states Ian Riches, Director, Strategy Analytics' Automotive Electronics Service. "Six of the top fifteen fastest growing automotive electronics companies are based in Japan, five in Europe and four in North America."
