As information resource for automotive electronic control system, sensor is one key part for automotive electronic control system as well as one of core research topics in automotive electronic technology field. And its development decides automotive electronic and smart level to a great extent.

 

According to the statistics of Mastermind Consultant, in recent years demand for autos in the aspects of safety, environmental protection, comfort, telecommunication and amusement is growing increasingly. Global auto sensor market reached USD …billion in 2007, and will increase to USD …billion in 2008 with growth rate of …%. And it is predicted that global auto sensor market will reach USD …billion in 2009 and USD …billion in 2010. 

 

At present, sensor is more and more applied in automobile, for instance, there are nearly one hundred sensors in an ordinary sedan averagely and there will be over 200 sensors for luxury cars. As categories of automotive electronic products increase constantly and performance improves, demands for sensors by automobile is gradually enhancing. For instance, there are high-quality sensors for new automotive electronic products such as TPMS and so on and the application of sensors in automobiles will be more extensive.

 

According to the statistics of Mastermind Consultant, global auto sensor demand in 2007 reached …billion units and is estimated to reach …billion units in 2008, …billion units in 2009 and …billion units in 2010.

 

Due to a late start of China’s auto sensor, there is no serialization and ability to support, such as crankshaft position and vehicle speed sensor adopt electromagnetic and hall, so there exists many problems, for example, low accuracy, poor decomposition, low signal accuracy, week anti-interference and poor low-speed testing and so on, but there is no above all problems for foreign same kinds of products which use photoelectric. Many sensor manufacturers carry out a joint venture way with foreign countries to enhance products competitiveness, digest and absorb foreign advanced sensor technology so as to grow gradually. However, most enterprises only form a complete production network of other auto sensors and still are in a situation of lower profits, single products and lower product quality and technical level. At present, a majority of foreign manufacturers take the lead in market such as Delphi, Bosch, Honeywell, SEIMENS, Philip and Freescale and so on.
