Summary

Brand new research on the automotive HVAC sector

This report highlights the findings of research conducted throughout 2005 in the automotive air conditioning market. It is largely based on our research and analysis and interviews with a number of industry experts, gathering individual perspectives.

The study updates and extends our first analysis of this sector, published in November 2001 and 2003, providing some insights in a number of areas, including:

The market for automotive climate control, determining the trends and topical issues;
The main manufacturers serving this sector, identifying how the market is divided in terms of market share and value on a regional basis;
Trends in key product and process technologies, both current and future; and
OEM trends and rationale in adopting different types of climate control.

The report provides answers to such vital questions as:

Why is automotive HVAC switching to the use of carbon dioxide as a refrigerant? What does this mean for the leading suppliers?
What are OEMs' primary requirements of their HVAC suppliers?
What are the market shares of the leading companies, and why is the market OEM driven, as opposed to market driven?
Despite the maturity of the market in Japan and North America, why will the technical boundaries of air conditioning systems continue to be pushed back?
What will happen to the global market when the EU mandates the introduction of CO2-based HVAC from 2011? How will installation rates be affected - especially in smaller car segments?
