Furthermore, the chapter also discusses the restraining forces for the CVD Equipment Market.

Solid state batteries are safer, more stable, and have higher energy densities as compared to conventional Li-ion batteries with liquid electrolytes. They are used in wide range of applications, including consumer electronics, electric vehicle, energy harvesting, medical devices, smart cards, and wireless communication. The global market has been analyzed based on revenue generated from the sales of commercialized solid state batteries. In addition, investment from industry giants such as Apple, Samsung, Volkswagen, and BMW has been analyzed for deriving the numbers.

Demand for new vehicles will remain weak in 2019, given the uncertain political backdrop, high unemployment and a weak dinar, although the outlook may be somewhat brighter for used car sales and cheaper imports.

Commercial telematics refer to the use of telematics systems in commercial vehicles by the fleet management companies, automobile insurance companies, and others. By using communication enabled device, telematics systems can store, receive, and send information, which can be used to control remote objects and manage resources such as individual cars or a fleet of cars. GPS tracking devices and vehicle diagnostics systems help transmit information to and from the vehicle’s computer system. The commercial telematics has witnessed significant growth over the years, owing to increase in trend of connectivity solutions worldwide.

Body control module (BCM) in the automotive industry is a processor-based power distribution component, which supervises, and controls functions related to the car body such as interior lights, security, windows, door locks & access control, and others. In addition, central BCM operates as a gateway for bus and network interfaces to interact with remote electronic control units (ECU) for other systems; however, BCM does not control any engine-related functions. Moreover, controlling signal of various loads comes directly from remote ECU via CAN/LIN communication or directly from the central body module.
