According to Peter Lakin, vice president, sales and marketing, exhaust systems, Faurecia, the key trends that are impacting the exhaust industry are emissions legislation and CO2 reduction. He said: “To these should be added the continued pressure on costs from the carmakers and the uncertainty of raw material costs from suppliers, particularly steel and alloys like chrome and nickel.”

This is the fifth edition of just-auto's exhaust systems global review. In this latest edition we analyse the key market drivers for vehicle exhaust systems, and fully update and revise our market data and estimates.

With five lengthy interviews with leading OE suppliers and added market volume data (in addition to value data), this report offers a brand new overview of where the global OE exhaust systems sector is heading.

Following our market overview in Chapter 1, just-auto’s estimates and forecasts of the market volume and values of original equipment exhaust lines in Chapter 2 present the market size for both gasoline and diesel passenger cars assembled in North America, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, Japan and China from 2006 through 2016, setting out our ‘expected’, best case’ and ‘worst case’ scenarios. This chapter also includes exclusive Q&As with Bosal, Katcon Global, Faurecia, Benteler and Zircotec. Also in this chapter we look at the forces driving the automotive emission technologies, we profile the major market players and we provide 2008 market shares for OE emission control equipment in Europe and North America.

Chapter 3 Technical review
This chapter starts by defining the elements of the modern exhaust system, then goes on to review recent innovations in the exhausts sector, such as Tenneco's SCR technology, Eberspächer’s weight reducing, BorgWarner's new EGR valve and many more latest innovations.

The chapter also features a lengthy interview with advanced surface treatment specialist Zircotec.

Chapter 4 Manufacturers
This chapter provides profiles of the major manufacturers, namely Bosal, Calsonic Kansei, Eberspächer, Emcon Technologies, Faurecia, Magneti Marelli and Tenneco.
