Global market review of front-end modules for passenger cars and light trucks – forecasts to 2014

Front-end modules (FEMs) typically encompass the bumper, headlights, radiator and various others parts.

The interest in front-end modules has increased over the last ten years, partly due to the focus on vehicle safety issues and the need to comply with guidelines from the European Union (EU) for pedestrian safety.

In this, the fourth edition of this report, just-auto reviews the key market drivers for vehicle front-end modules, and updates its established market analysis and data.

Following our market overview in Chapter 1, just-auto’s product fitment historic and forecast data tables in Chapter 2 predict in some detail how the front-end module market will evolve in Europe, North America, South Korea, Japan, China, South America and other countries from 2004 through to 2014 by offering market volume and value data by major country. The chapter also reviews the supplier's latest developments, expansions and financial overviews. It also carries a section covering the latest developments in emerging markets. In addition to the market data, the chapter offers 2008 forecasts of market shares for the world, Europe, North America and Asia.

Chapter 3 provides an updated review of new product developments. This chapter includes exclusive Q&As with executives from HBPO, Decoma International and SABIC Innovative Plastics. These proprietary Q&As run to multiple pages in length and offer a true insight of what the key suppliers are planning and incorporating in their manufacturing processes.

Q&A extracts:

j-a: Do you see the North American OEMs taking a different strategy toward FEMs? What do you think has helped grow the North American market for FEMs?

HBPO: The North American OEMs are developing more and more cars with FEMs. They have seen that there is a big cost advantage and they appreciate the service we are offering. Maybe an argument for them is the successful production of the European OEMs. One advantage for HBPO in the market is that the North American OEMs give more responsibility to the system-orientated suppliers. This gives us the opportunity to offer our complete service, development and assembling directly from the beginning.

j-a: What do you think has helped grow the North American market for FEMs?

Decoma: The original North American Big Three have begun to recognise that the European and Asian OEMs have executed many of their car lines with a FEM strategy, providing best-in-class fit and finish, with significant cost and weight savings. Our customers have completed their own internal benchmarking and are questioning their past decisions.

Chapter 4 sets out profiles of the major manufactures, namely Calsonic Kansei, Decoma International, Denso, Faurecia, HBPO and Peguform. Other manufacturers include Mobis and Expert. Some of the tied manufacturers, such as Denso, are extensions of the OEMs. In terms of further market consolidation, executives from Decoma International told us: “We believe anything can happen in this environment. Becoming a global front-end module supplier requires a significant investment in human capital, which many companies simply cannot invest in until a programme is awarded. This can be an inhibitor to many up-start module suppliers.”

Global market review of automotive roof systems – forecasts to 2014

Webasto led the global sunroof market for passenger car and light truck applications in 2007 with a 32% share, followed by Inalfa and ArvinMeritor (source: just-auto).

Roof systems are becoming part of a car's identity, and an increasing number of automakers are offering models featuring large glass roofs. One benefit is the sense of openness and freedom, and the selection on offer nowadays is varied, ranging from the closed panoramic glass roof (Peugeot 307 SW, 407 SW, and Citroën C4) and so-called twin panels, to multi-panels (Renault Espace IV) and the lamella sunroof (Fiat Stilo).

The car industry has discovered that the roof is an area where it can make money, and manufacturers report an "unbelievable" amount of interest in large sunroofs. The trend towards glass roof systems, with big openings that can be adjusted even during driving, gives the best of both worlds: saving on cost (compared to a convertible) and adding more versatility to the car.

Our fourth edition of the just-auto vehicle roof systems report investigates the trends in roof systems, and provides an overview of the markets, main players and the latest technical innovations.

Chapter 1: Introduction - Brief explanation of the sector.

Chapter 2: The market - In this chapter we take an in-depth look at the markets. We provide commentary on the market trends, the main players and the emerging markets China, India and Mexico.

Exclusive interviews with Walter Pecho, managing director of Edscha Convertible Roof Systems and Karsten Huelsemann, executive director, New Business Development, Marketing and Communications, Karmann, in which they discuss their products and market trends are also included.

We provide forecasts in this chapter that show how the conventional sunroof, large roof, retractable hard-top and soft-top roof system market will evolve in Western Europe, North America and Japan from 2004 through to 2014, plus market share by manufacturer (Europe, North America and Globally) for OE sunroofs is offered.

Chapter 3: Technical review - We include an exclusive interview with executives of Lanxess, about the company's technologies in vehicle roof design and the forces driving the increased use of plastic-metal hybrid technology in the vehicle roofs.

The latest innovations are also investigated, such as retractable roof systems, convertible innovations and sunroof innovations, for example the ArvinMeritor convertible-like, large-opening multi-panel roof system installed in the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7.

Tomorrow's roofs are also looked at. We discuss technologies in development, such as transparency control devices, and Electrochromic sunroofs.

Chapter 4: Manufacturers - This chapter provides profiles of the major manufacturers, namely ArvinMeritor, ASC Inc, Edscha, Heuliez, Inalfa Roof Systems BV, Karmann, Pininfarina and Webasto. Read about their customers, products, facilities, sales, and mergers and acquisitions.

This report is also available as an Intelligence Set. This is a value for money bundle that consists of the report, plus the following supplier profiles: ASC, Edscha, Webasto, Wilhelm Karmann and Arvin Meritor.

Global market review of door modules – forecasts to 2016

 It may not look like it, but the door is one of the most complex systems on a vehicle. It must look good, incorporate crash stability and, above all, be fit for the purpose, typically opening and closing more than 50,000 times during the vehicle's life.

And with vehiclemakers increasingly outsourcing their requirements for larger complex modules and systems, including doors, we have seen a trend toward modularisation. This could be the result of a number of factors, including the cost savings achieved as a result of taking advantage of an outside supplier's lower variable costs, the increased sophistication and capability of interior suppliers in programme management and logistics and product styling. There is also a health and safety advantage since assembly-line workers no longer need to reach through sheet metal to route all the cables.

In the fourth edition of just-auto's door modules report we review the key market drivers for door modules, and update the market analysis. We provide top level market fitment, volume and value forecasts through 2013, along with two exclusive Q&As with senior executives from ArvinMeritor and Magna Closures that provide unique and timely insight into the European and North American door module markets.

The technical review sets out recent innovations in this arena, and we also include profiles of the major manufactures, namely ArvinMeritor, Brose, Dura Automotive Faurecia, Grupo Antolin, Kuester, Magna Closures and Wagon.

Chapter 1: Introduction - We provide a round-up of the report.

Chapter 2: The market - This chapter offers a look at emerging markets China, Mexico, Slovakia and Turkey. We also include forecasts volume and value forecasts to 2013, as well as profiles of the market players, such as Fauracia and Kuester. Exclusive interviews with key executives, such as Hugh Downey, director of portfolio planning at Magna Closures and Jean-Marc Belmond, Director of Product Engineering, Door Systems are provided throughout this chapter.

Chapter 3: Technical review - In this chapter we take a look at what a typical door module consists of, and what developments are being made in the form of an interview with Kurt Sauernheimer, head of Brose's door business.
We also provide an overview of innovations in power sliding doors, and what we can expect to see from 'tomorrow's' doors.

Chapter 4: Manufacturers - In this chapter we provide profiles for some of the major manufacturers, from ArvinMeritor to Wagon. Profiles include information on mergers and acquisitions, products, revenues, manufacturing facilities and customers.
