Research and Markets: Strategic Analysis of Japanese Passenger Vehicle Safety System: Active Safety Systems Segment Offer Greater Opportunities

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/2f7d87/strategic_analysis)

has announced the addition of Frost Sullivan's new report "Strategic

Analysis of Japanese Passenger Vehicle Safety System" to their

offering.

This research study covers in detail Japanese passenger vehicle safety

system market. The study covers key research findings, total market for

passenger vehicle safety system, regulatory analysis, individual safety

system unit shipment and revenue trend and forecast analysis, individual

safety system price trend and forecast analysis, individual safety

system vehicle manufacturer penetration rate trend and forecast

analysis, individual safety system vehicle segment penetration rate

trend and forecast analysis, profiles of key market participants in

Japanese passenger vehicle safety system market, strategic analysis and

conclusion, and future outlook and opportunities.

Passive safety systems, with almost 100 percent adoption rates, offer

far fewer opportunities than the vibrant active safety systems segment

in the passenger vehicle safety systems market. Greater consumer

awareness about the importance of vehicle safety is encouraging Japanese

vehicle manufacturers (VMs) and suppliers to increasingly focus on

developing and standardizing active safety systems rather than passive

ones.

For instance, VSC, as an active safety system, is expected to be

available across all segments to reduce accident rate due to sudden

elusive maneuvers by drivers in emergency situations, says the analyst

of this research. Further, VMs and suppliers are developing an advanced

type of drive assist technology incorporating intelligent transport

system (ITS), which is expected to help the Japanese government achieve

its target of 5,000 or less traffic fatalities by the end of 2012.

However, device sophistication comes with a heavy price tag, which often

hinders mass adoption. The higher costs of active safety systems have

put them out of reach of smaller and cheaper vehicles. Therefore, VMs

are working on producing affordable and user-friendly systems so that

consumers pick active systems over passive ones. Unlike in Europe and

the Americas, Japan does not enforce the use of active safety systems

such as VSC and TPMS.

This fosters healthy competition among VMs, which, in turn, promotes

product development of active systems. Active safety systems use new

technologies and more expensive parts such as sensors and radars, which

ramps up their costs, notes the analyst. Developing low-cost sensors and

radars and integration of systems will help to lower system costs and

increase adoption rates.

In this research, Frost Sullivan's expert analysts thoroughly examine

the following markets: active safety systems anti-lock braking system

(ABS), electronic braking distribution (EBD), vehicle stability control

(VSC), tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), blind spot detection

(BSD), parking assist (PA), adaptive front lighting system (AFS),

night-view system (NVS), adaptive cruise control (ACC), and pre-crash

safety system (PCS); and passive safety systems {supplemental restraint

system (SRS), front airbag (FA), SRS side airbag (SA), SRS curtain

airbag (CA), SRS knee airbag (KA), seatbelt with pre-tensioner and force

limiter, electronic locking retractor/automatic locking retractor,

whiplash protection system (WPS), impact absorption body (IAB),

pedestrian injury mitigation (PIM).
