World Automotive & Vehicular Hose/Tube Manufacturing
SpecialtyVehicles.net, May 2007, Pages: 870
A global profile, analysis, segmentation & trends underlying the manufacture of hoses/tubes for automotive/vehicular applications.
The global manufacture of hoses/tubes for vehicular applications is a highly fragmented activity, with at least four hundred and fifty identifiable players spread through forty-five countries.
Despite the coming on-stream of new production in many low-cost economies, the USA, Germany and Japan continue to account for the bulk of world production.
Nevertheless, the emerging countries in Asia and Eastern Europe have benefited from new plant capacity needed to service their growing domestic OE vehicular production, as well as for servicing nearby export markets.
The market has also been driven by increasing use of materials for noise abatement and for high temperature applications, with diesel engines running hotter as the new clean air emissions regulations take effect. By focusing on these issues, leading players have sought a technical edge to gain differentiation from the commodity products that have been the mainstay of this industry.
Across the globe, Mergers and Acquisitions activity has been driven by the OE vehicular customers’ moves to continue to reduce the number of suppliers for each component.
The ubiquitous private equity buyers have obviously sensed an opportunity for restructuring, as is typical in fragmented industries. However, M&A has also been driven by strategic expansion moves, such as the recent acquisition of Thermopol in the U.K. by Germany’s Continental AG.
These and other aspects of the industry are highlighted in this pioneering report by SpecialtyVehicles.net (“SVN”). The key objective of this report is to present a global picture of the competitive landscape and rigorously document “who is who” in the business of manufacturing various types of vehicular hose and tube products.
Through a “bottoms-up” country-by-country approach, a world database has been developed that breaks out estimated market sizes by company and application(s) and regions. The report is a first-ever attempt to cohesively put this industry into a structured format for enabling M&A moves, market size identification, sales planning, country/region strategizing, and competitive share analysis and potential alliances through licensing or technology transfer.
The INTRODUCTION defines the coverage of the report and outlines the methodology, assumptions and sources used in compiling the research. Summary data from the three regional segments—Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Americas—is presented, with special focus on raw material trends and M&A activity. Tables show market size by region and by application segment.
For EACH REGION, an overview highlights general characteristics of the market. This is followed by tables showing market size breakouts by region and by country within region, by application area and by type of raw material.
Vehicular application areas—braking systems, fuel systems, air conditioning systems, power steering systems, engine cooling systems and other automotive applications—are examined in detail.
Each country is examined separately, beginning with a summary of the country’s automotive and vehicular hose/tube market and concluding with profiles of manufacturing companies operating in that country. Profiles are based on a mix of interviews and/or other information and seek to describe company operations in a way that adds immeasurably to the overall understanding of this industry.
About 466 companies in 45 countries are featured as a profile, with the larger, more important companies carrying a higher degree of detail.
