London, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/12/2008 -- Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report which analyses the increasing concern of India's car manufacturers surrounding the ongoing surge in fuel-price. In a bid to stay competitive in India's budget conscious market, auto makers search for alternative fuel technologies and plan to manufacture more fuel-efficient vehicles.

The new report "Automotive Base Drivers 2007", which is available at http://www.reportbuyer.com/go/DAT09780 examines the consequences of the increasing oil prices which have led to companies like Tata Motors and Mahindra and Mahindra to introduce plans for petrol-electric hybrid versions of their passenger cars Indica and Scorpio respectively.

Authors of the report forecast an intensified competition in the super mini segment in the country, starting with Tato's Nano, and now foreign car manufacturers Hyundai and Renault-Nissan are all set to roll out their offerings in the same section of the auto mobile market. The report also predict a growing interest outside the borders of India as foreign manufacturers are ready to seize the opportunity in the country's alternative fuel vehicle space.

The report notes that a logical solution to the problem of the increasing congestion in cities like Dehli and Mumba is to manufacture more compact and fuel-efficient cars. It further claims that in order to create commercial viability of non-conventional fuel-based cars, the manufacturers must liaise with the government authorities. The vehicle manufacturers must enthuse the need with the policy makers to establish a network of fuel stations for such vehicles; otherwise, the saleability of such vehicles will be called into question.

Authors of the report suggest that India's auto manufacturers have taken a wise step in addressing the need for fuel-efficient and alternative fuel vehicles, as with India already being a price conscious market, the initiatives taken by the auto manufacturers, at a time when fuel costs are a concern, are nothing but imperative.

London, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/12/2008 -- Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report analysing the market for auto exhaust systems.

"Global Market Review of Exhaust Systems", which is available at http://www.reportbuyer.com/go/AJA00140 reports that an exhaust system has two purposes: on the one hand, it reduces noise by means of a silencing system, and on the other hand, it reduces the pollutants contained in exhaust gases by means of catalytic converters.

The report shows that as each new emissions regulation swings into force, more and more content is being added to the exhaust in order to comply. Manufacturers believe that the emissions control content per light vehicle will rise over the next few years, a result of introducing multiple catalytic converters per vehicle, heat exchangers and particulate filters.

The fourth edition of this report reviews the key market drivers, and investigates the latest trends and technologies. The report also takes a look at the emerging markets (China, India, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia and Turkey), provides market share data for selected regions, and offers a number of exclusive interviews with manufacturers.

The study shows that vehicle makers are increasingly focusing on emerging markets for growth opportunities. It further takes a look at these markets, as well as providing market share data for the European and North American market. Forecasts also show market value of OE emission control technologies for passenger cars and light vehicle applications in Europe, North America, Japan and China to 2014.

London, UK -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/11/2008 -- Report Buyer, the online destination for business intelligence for major industry sectors, has added a new report which finds that the global market for biometrics is expected to rise to $7.1 billion by 2012, showing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 21.3%.

"The Global Biometrics Market", which is available at http://www.reportbuyer.com/BCC00184 explains that the market is broken down into applications of fingerprint, face recognition, hand geometry and other technology. It forecasts that fingerprint biometrics, the oldest form of biometrics in use today, will continue to be the main revenue contributor from 2007 to 2012.

Authors of the report say that this segment was worth $1.3 billion in 2007, and is forecast to grow to $2.7 billion by 2012, a CAGR of 16.3% over the next five years. They say, the main reason for this growth is the decrease in the price of fingerprint sensors, making them more affordable, and government initiatives that rely heavily on fingerprint biometrics.

The segment that follows this is hand biometry, predicted to be the next largest segment in 2007 with market revenue of $243 million. By 2012, the market value for this segment will be $752.6 million, says the report.

"The Global Biometrics Market" notes that remaining biometric segments of iris scan, middleware, multimodality, voice recognition, signature verification and other emerging segments will together constitute $729 million in 2007. These segments together are estimated to grow at a CAGR of 26% to $2.3 billion by 2012.

The report says in terms of region, Europe currently leads the biometrics market due to higher user acceptance and the introduction of biometric passports in the majority of European countries. However, the highest potential lies in the Asian region where technologically developed countries such as South Korea and Japan and growing countries such as China and India will drive growth.
