Market Overview

Portable Navigation to Promote Continued Market Growth

The foray of consumer electronic companies, mobile phone companies, mobile service providers and portable navigation system A GPS-based electronic system in a car or truck that provides a real time map of the vehicle's current location as well as step-by-step directions to a programmed destination. See GPS and vehicle tracking.  suppliers into the European aftermarket for telematics and infotainment, is leading to increasing competition. Accordingly, major consumer electronic suppliers are consolidating their position as leaders in the market, which was earlier dominated by traditional automotive companies. Moreover, the market is witnessing greater demand for navigation solutions, mobile services for off-board support and Bluetooth car-kits, thus assisting the growth of component suppliers and solution providers.

In the future, the market is likely to be dominated by companies that have a presence in portable navigation and portable multimedia. Accordingly, component or accessory accessory, in criminal law, a person who, though not present at the commission of a crime, becomes a participator in the crime either before or after the fact of commission.  suppliers that show capabilities to upgrade themselves as system supplies will witness a surge in growth opportunities. The leading product segments such as navigation and Bluetooth telephony are luring an increasing number of suppliers in the value chain, thus contributing to the highly dynamic nature of the aftermarket, notes the analyst of this research service.

Foray of New Market Entrants to Reduce Monopoly of Navigation System Providers

While most of the product segments remain consolidated, the foray of new entrants, particularly from the traditional automotive sector, is expected to result in the fragmentation (1) Storing data in non-contiguous areas on disk.

Subsequently, this is likely to hamper the growth of consumer electronic companies, which dominated the market in 2005. The introduction of completely off-board navigation systems will lead to greater dependence on mobile network operators to ensure the provision of high-quality services, remarks the analyst. As a result, the market will witness reduced monopoly of navigation system suppliers

Navigation systems, however, due to their high utility value, will continue to be the highest revenue-generating product segment in the market.

) players and integrated systems are emerging, thus supporting the continuously evolving in-car entertainment sector. In the context of Bluetooth interface systems, hands-free calling through Bluetooth is gaining importance as a popular addition to the 1-DIN radio or a portable navigation device. In keeping with these trends, navigation system suppliers would do well to forge alliances with mobile network operators and other navigation solution providers to provide high-quality off-board navigation.
