"For international automotive infotainment system suppliers, China offers opportunities to reduce component and system production costs, to increase access to international/Chinese vehicle OEM joint ventures, and to respond to the growing domestic Chinese OE market", says Joanne Blight, Director of the Strategy Analytics Automotive Multimedia and Communications Service.
This analysis also highlights that although the aftermarket for car parts and infotainment accessories is currently small in China, a major increase in demand for in-car infotainment products is expected from 2007 onwards.
In addition, it recommends that other international automotive infotainment system suppliers should examine the cost benefits of taking the approach of a number of Japanese automotive infotainment system companies operating in the Chinese market, including Clarion, Pioneer, Kenwood and Panasonic.
