Automotive Systems: Adaptive Braking, No Stopping Its Growth!

Semiconductor revenues for adaptive braking systems will increase at a CAGR of more than 100% over the next five years, a growth opportunity that will continue even through the current recession. Adaptive braking systems sense impending collisions and automatically apply a car’s brakes to prevent an accident. They are in use now only on high-end passenger cars, but the costs will come down until they become standard equipment even on small, economy cars. In 13 tables and four charts this eleven page study provides five-year forecasts for automotive shipments and adaptive braking systems as well as five-year semiconductor forecasts for BOMs, unit shipments, revenues and ASPs. It is one of a series of Semico automotive studies that will identify opportunities to increase semiconductor sales in emerging automotive applications.
