HEVs represent the transformation of the global automotive industry. HEVs are an amalgamation of ICE vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs). Currently, traditional ICE vehicles dominate the industry due to their tested and proven engine mechanism, performance, and buyers' preferences.

An electric vehicle is powered by an electric motor for propulsion. An electric vehicle uses a battery to store energy, which is supplied to the electric motor through a controller. The controller regulates the energy flow from battery to electric motor based on the power requirement.

The major demand for ultrasonic non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment is expected to arise from the automotive, transportation, and power generation sectors, due to the increasing use of ultrasonic technology to maintain high-quality standards.APAC is expected to account for the highest market share in the global ultrasonic NDT equipment market. The region is expected to achieve this position mainly because of the growth in the infrastructure and power sectors in the region.The rise in air traffic has led to an increase in the demand for aircraft especially from emerging economies such as China, India, and Indonesia. Aircraft are tested using ultrasonic NDT equipment to assure safety and maintain the quality standards. Therefore, the growth in demand for aircraft is expected to propel the demand for ultrasonic NDT equipment.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global ultrasonic NDT equipment market for the period 2015-2020.

Over the past decade, the automotive industry has been undergoing structural changes in terms of electrification of automotive mechanism, engine downsizing, emission regulations, enhancing safety features, and vehicle connectivity to produce vehicles that are safer and more efficient. Despite significant progress made in terms of safety, on-road accidents and collision rates remain high. This has led to the R&D of some of the most advanced life-saving systems and technologies such as driver state monitoring systems in the automotive industry.

Location-enabled mobile devices include smartphones, tablets, and devices fitted in vehicles. The location of such devices is determined by a mechanism known as localization, which considers the user's browsing activities related to navigation, lifestyle, shopping, social networking, public transportation, utilities, and games. Indoor LBS provide information regarding ongoing local events, shopping, and entertainment with the support of mobile devices, and have become a key component of marketing strategies and monitoring systems.

Many manufacturing companies need PLM software as it deals with various functional levels of an organization such as product designing, design engineering, and manufacturing. The need for managing a product from the concept to servitization has led to the emergence of PLM software and services. The growing product complexity and the expanding product portfolio across organizations has led to demand for a system that can provide solutions to the production process across industries. The implementation of a PLM in an organization provides higher revenue, reduce cost, and capital efficiency.

The automotive wiring harness market will be driven by the increased adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). The cost of wiring harnesses in an EV can go as high as 70% of the cost of the vehicle owing to high-voltage shielding requirements.The increased adoption of infotainment systems and driver assistance systems (DAS) like lane departure warning system (LDWS), tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), rear view camera, and electronic stability control (ESC) will likely influence the automotive wiring harness market for passenger vehicles.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global automotive wiring harness market for 2016-2020. The report includes the entire range of automotive wiring harnesses available in the market. An automotive wiring harness mainly consists of six components: electric wire, protector, terminal, grommet, tape,and clamp. The electric wire can be of various types such as general wire, heatresistant wire, shielded wire, and halogen-free electric wire.

The report includes the entire range of wiper systems available in the global automotive wiper system market.An automotive wiper system consists of six main components — a wiper drive gear,wiper wheel box, windshield wash pump, wiper motor, wiper switch, and washer jet.Some of the other components include the wiper blade, insulated strap, and small electrical circuit components.

With more auto models available in the market and new technologies such as gas/electric hybrids creating the need for new kinds of replacement parts, the number of distinct items retailers carry has grown tremendously. Aftermarket stock keeping units (SKUs) are estimated at millions, with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) introducing 80,000 unique part each year. Growing SKU inventories, globalized supply chains, increased performance demands, and a host of other pressures will affect the logistics service providers in the market.OEMs are focusing on spare parts delivery because of the potential of this business to increase revenues and reduce operating expenses. Revenue and profits from after-sales service parts are increasing drastically; after-sales accounts for approximately 25% of total sales (with two-thirds from selling spare parts and one-third from services).This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global automotive spare parts logistics market for the period 2016-2020. To calculate the market size, this report covers revenue generated by third-party logistics (3PL) providers providing spare parts logistics services in the market. The services include integrated global contract logistics solutions covering all aspects of spare parts fulfilment, from planning supply chains and developing warehousing and distribution solutions to inventory management and customer service.

We expect the global automotive personal navigation systems market to grow at a CAGR of 14.51% during the forecast period.In 2015, EMEA led the global automotive personal navigation systems market with a 36.17% market share, followed by the Americas with a 33.99% share, and APAC with a 29.84% share. This combined majority share is due to the high adoption of personal navigation devices (PNDs) and aftermarket in-vehicle systems (IVS).However, during the forecast period, the market dynamics will experience structural changes. Aftermarket IVS sales will likely fall from 37.08% in 2015 to 21.23% by 2020. This decline can be attributed to the rise in factory-fitted IVS and smartphone-based systems.This report covers the present scenario and the growth prospects of the global automotive personal navigation systems market for 2016-2020. The market size is calculated through a bottom-up approach, which accounts for the total units sold per annum for different types of navigation systems used in vehicles. The report also presents the vendor landscape and a corresponding detailed analysis of the top four vendors in the market. It discusses the major drivers and key trends in the global

personal navigation systems market. Also, the report outlines the challenges faced by vendors and the market at large and gives a forecast of it up to 2020.
