A sensor is a device that consists of very small mechanical devices that measure or respond to the physical changes in the surroundings and convert them into signals. Sensors that are used in automotive applications are called automotive sensors. Automotive sensors are mainly used in power trains, fuel systems, safety systems, and driver support systems. Some of the most important applications of automotive sensors are in electronic stability control and in airbag safety systems of automotive vehicles, which are part of driver safety systems. Moreover, automotive sensors are used to monitor crankshaft position and angle, monitor air pressure in automobile tires, and provide feedback signals to an engine control system.

Tires are an integral component of automobiles and are manufactured using raw materials such as natural rubber, nylon tire cord fabric, and carbon black. Rubber chemicals and synthetic rubber, including stirene-butadiene rubber and poly-butadiene rubber, are also used in manufacturing tires. Off-highway tires are used in various off-highway vehicles and equipment such as mining, construction, earthmoving, agriculture, and farm vehicles and equipment.

The Automotive aftermarket is a subordinate market which primarily focuses on the manufacturing, remanufacturing, distribution, and installation of automobile components post sale. The components installed after the initial sale of the vehicle by the dealer are known as aftermarket components. Aftermarket parts are very popular as they are easily accessible and are found in most auto shops and mechanical garages. Their easy availability allows end-users to have a wide variety of options and they do not necessarily have to purchase relatively expensive OE equipment.The Automotive Parts aftermarket market in the US has been growing steadily for the past few years. The production of tires has recently gained momentum and the demand for tires is expected to increase during the forecast period. The Automotive Tires aftermarket segment in the US is currently the largest segment in the Automotive Parts aftermarket in the US. The Automotive Parts aftermarket in the US is highly fragmented with the presence of numerous players. This market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.06 percent during the period 2014-2018.

Winter tires, also referred to as snow tires, cold weather tires, and thermal tires, improve road safety for vehicles during the winter and thus play an important role in reducing road accidents. These tires are made of softer rubber as compared to the all-season or summer tires, which helps achieve better grip during winters. Furthermore, the newer generation of winter tires is designed with a more flexible rubber compound that is less prone to stiffening in colder temperatures. Its tread is designed to provide improved traction on wet, slushy, snowy, icy, and dry cold surfaces. The Winter Tire market in the US has been growing at a slow pace. The production of tires has recently gained momentum and the demand is expected to increase significantly during the period 2014-2018. This market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.85 percent during the forecast period.

The wiper system is a component used in the automotive mainly on the windshield. The wiper system has various parts such as motors, arms, and blades that help the system to wipe the windshield when required. This system is used in vehicles to wipe off unwanted particles from the windshield giving the driver better vision. This system also helps to reduce accidents and keeps the driver safe during bad weather conditions.The Global Wiper Systems market is expected to grow at a steady rate during the period 2012-2016. The overall market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 3.83 percent during the forecast period. The production of wiper systems has gained momentum due to increasing production and sales of automobiles globally. Additionally, the Aftermarket segment contributes a significant amount to the predicted growth. It terms of revenue, the APAC region leads the market followed by the EMEA region and the Americas.

An automotive battery is a type of rechargeable battery that is used in an automobile for supplying power to the required components in the vehicle. Batteries are devices that can be used to store and dispose energy when needed on the go. The batteries serve as a base for many other electrical components such as engine ignition, lamps, and infotainment. This makes the automotive batteries one of the most important automotive parts.The Global Automotive Battery market is growing at a rapid pace. In terms of revenue, the Americas dominated the market in 2012; this is due to the presence of leading battery manufacturers and efficient production units in the region. The Americas was followed by the APAC region and the EMEA region. The Global Automotive Battery market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.90 percent during the forecast period.

我国自2010年开始启动节能汽车推广工作，并开始对符合要求的小排量节能型乘用车进行消费补贴，在补贴政策的支持下，我国节能汽车推广工作取得了良好的效果。为推进节能减排，促进大气污染治理，继续引导和鼓励汽车生产企业加大节能技术研发投入，降低燃料消耗水平，2013年10月1日，我国再次提高节能汽车的补贴门槛。新补贴政策的出台，短期内将影响小排量乘用车的市场销售，对其市场占有率形成下行压力。但从长远来看，补贴门槛的提高将有利于汽车企业积极开展技术升级、调整完善产品结构，对未来我国汽车产业的发展将起到重要的作用。
