A recent Indian auto-component industry report suggested that low cost countries, such as India and China, have the potential to meet the outsourcing needs of 20% of the global electronic auto-components market.

An auto-component that is not a core component of a car and has aftermarket replacement opportunities, such as wiper motors, power window components or dashboard displays, is more likely to be outsourced. Electronic components and their parts are not only manufactured at the tier I level but also at a tier II / III level.

Highlights of the briefing include: a discussion of auto-components outsourcing, ramifications of outsourcing on the aftermarket and threats as well as opportunities within the different tiers of the market.

"While over the last 10-15 years the prices of cars have remained 'flat,' stricter regulations and demanding consumers have driven the costs up in the North American automotive market," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Abhigyan Sengupta.
