Global Market for Automotive Human Machine Interface Systems to Reach US$13.1 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

Global Market for Automotive Human Machine Interface Systems to Reach US$ 13.1 Billion by 2017, According to a New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

San Jose, California (PRWEB) October 04, 2011

Follow us on LinkedIn – The success of most automotive technologies and systems hinges onto the intuitiveness of the user interface making the human machine interface (HMI) system the stepping-stone of success of all automotive products and solutions. Providing operator terminals through which users can efficiently operate and control automotive systems, HMI systems remain critical to the success of automotive applications such as automotive audio/video systems, GPS systems, power seat controls, side mirror control climate control, and power windows. While growth in the number of in-car applications no doubt enhances the attractiveness of vehicles, it may also increase workload for drivers thereby leading to distraction while behind the wheel. Potentially distracting in-vehicle systems currently include 3D maps/navigation, high-definition videos, Internet access, alpha-numeric messages/texting, emails and conversations over the phone. The need to provide drivers with user-friendly interfaces, which can help them control automotive applications with minimal distraction therefore offers a perfect business case for Automotive Human Interface Systems.

Capable of allowing drivers to access entertainment/infotainment functions such as changing music files/radio stations, and navigation without taking the eye off the road, automotive HMI technologies including steering wheel switches, touch screen inputs, and voice recognition systems have become popular in automotive market. Decline in vehicle production as a fall out of the recession induced weak demand for commercial and passenger vehicles however had a trickle down impact on the global automotive HMI systems market, directly squeezing revenues for the market in the year 2009. Despite the clamor over driving safety, which presents a business case for adoption of advanced automotive HMI systems, the perceived opportunity was dampened by the sputtering automotive industry, which suffered the worst during the economic recession. As the passion for luxury cars and SUVs cooled down with consumers trading down to inexpensive, low and mid-tier economy cars with limited features and electronic applications, demand for automotive human machine interface systems softened. Expensive electronic installations such as GPS navigation, video display panels, and intelligent park assists, which are mostly offered as optional features in low-end car segments also witnessed demand declines.

The resurgence in automotive industry in 2010 had a ripple effect on the demand for automotive HMI systems with increased production of passenger cars and commercial vehicles driving new orders for HMI systems. Incentives offered by governments across the globe will continue to drive more frequent development and roll outs of new vehicle models, including alternative vehicles, which in turn will create demand for in-car applications and along with it demand for automotive HMI systems. The current transition in the automotive industry, driven by changing societal values, and priorities against the backdrop of new environmental and economic realities will favor automotive HMI systems market in the long run. Stricter regulations surrounding environmental and passenger protection will also stimulate technology transformation in this industry. This broader industry vision of accident-free driving will offer a rich mixture of challenge and opportunities. As automotive manufacturers add more advanced electronic applications in automobiles in order to gain a head start in the post recession era, demand for efficient human interface systems that control such applications will only increase further. High fuel prices will especially drive adoption of voice and touch enabled navigation technologies, which can optimize routes and save fuel.

Growth in the automotive HMI systems market over the next few years will also be driven by the increasing penetration of consumer portable devices in the automotive sector. The need for continuous delivery of consumer based infotainment functionality into the car is resulting in the growing use of portable devices in the car. Portable device connectivity in a car in turn will create substantial demand for in–vehicle HMI systems that enable direct point-to-point integration of portable devices with the car. Boom in automotive entertainment systems also augurs well for the HMI demand in the automotive segment. From car audio systems, telepresence/telemetrics, interactive navigation to the convergence of information and entertainment (infotainment), the market over the last couple of decades has witnessed sea changes in technology development, and evolution. The upcoming years will witness influx of not so common technologies like navigation systems, video systems, integrated cellular, satellite technologies and unobtrusive gaming. Innovative concepts like intuitive games, which can be played by the car driver safely while driving will present both technological design challenges and lucrative commercial opportunities for HMI systems.

Government mandates directing use of technology for ensuring passenger safety will also drive automotive manufacturers to adopt HMI systems in automobiles like never before. As a result, technologies focusing on passenger and pedestrian safety, such as intelligent park assist, lane departure warning, hands-free calling, speech activated systems, and night vision are rapidly finding their way into new vehicles. Supported by safety legislations, advanced HMI, although expensive are changing from a value proposition business to a commodity business. In the upcoming years, growing adoption among OEMs will expand market penetration reducing the average price of automotive HMI systems further.

Given the critical role played by HMI in determining product acceptance, it is of little surprise that OEMs are focusing on HMI improvements to competitively differentiate their offerings in the marketplace. With modern consumers emphasizing on comfort and convenience, automotive HMI systems, which employ advanced input/output interfaces such as touch screen inputs, video displays, and voice recognition stand to gain in the immediate future.

As stated by the new market research report on Automotive Human Machine Interface Systems, the US represents the largest regional market worldwide. Stringent regulatory riders for passenger safety and widespread adoption of telematics are the key growth drivers for automotive HMI systems in the country. Asia-Pacific is the fastest growing regional market for automotive HMI systems, with dollar sales from the region waxing at a CAGR of about 14.5% over the analysis period.

Major players in the marketplace include Alpine, Altran Praxis Limited, Clarion, Continental AG, Cypress Semiconductor Corporation, Delphi Corporation, DENSO Corporation, EAO, Gracenote Inc., Harman, Immersion Corporation, Johnson Controls Inc, Loquendo S.p.A, Magneti Marelli S.p.A, Mecel AB, Nippon Seiki Co. Ltd, Nuance Communications Inc., Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas, Toshiba Mobile Display Co. Ltd., Valeo, Visteon Corporation, and VoiceBox Technologies Inc.

The research report titled “Automotive Human Machine Interface Systems: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends, issues and growth drivers. The report provides market estimates and projections for automotive HMI systems in US$ Million across all major geographic markets including US, Canada, Japan, Europe (France, Germany, Italy, UK, and Rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific, Rest of World.

Volatile November for Clean Energy Stocks – Meanwhile a New ETF for the NEX makes Global Clean Energy Index Available in Europe

Volatile November for Clean Energy Stocks – Meanwhile a New ETF for the NEX makes Global Clean Energy Index Available in Europe

London (PRWEB) December 5, 2007

Rising demand from diverse places such as Germany, Japan, China, and Spain visibly has fueled increases in clean energy stocks the past two years, as seen in the NEX Index that began calculating in early 2006.

It was anticipated America could significantly add to the growing demand; however a November surprise came on unexpected reports House and Senate leaders might in a short-term remove some key incentives for renewables from a recent U.S. energy bill.

As a result clean energy stocks and hence the WilderHill New Energy Global Innovation Index saw some sharp movements during November, with declines in the NEX as well as in broader markets worldwide.

Notably too the NEX passed a +100% mark in October 2007, a time of earlier highs, having at that point more than doubled when measured since the start of January 2006.

Also in November news and in fast-growing European exchange-traded fund markets, it was announced Invesco PowerShares launched 3 ETFs on the London Stock Exchange including a PowerShares Global Clean Energy Fund (tracking the NEX) which offers greater access to clean energy, a corner of the market previously difficult to access.

Find More Implied Volatility Press Releases

Trading Global Stock Markets and Risk Management

Up until 2007 global stock markets experienced some of the longest bull runs in history. However, over the last few years, the stock markets have been incredibly volatile. We are now half way through 2010 and the volatility continues.

Everyone should accept that if they are going to trade there are ever present risks, irrespective of the investment format. Whether you use spread bets, Exchange Traded Funds or simply trade shares, it is likely that you will lose money on some of your trades.

But what options are there for those wanting a fast, flexible method of investment which also offers a wide variety of markets and the all important risk management tools?

For many UK, European and Australian investors spread betting offers a realistic solution.

As we have discussed, there are inherent risks with investing. There are downsides to all forms of investing and with spread trading you need to be careful because you can lose more than your initial investment.

There are some other areas that the following warning says you should consider, ‘spread betting does carry a high level of risk. Before trading, please ensure that spread betting matches your investment objectives. Make sure you familiarise yourself with the risks involved. If necessary, seek independent advice’.

At the same time though, you are able to put limits on your bets to reduce your losses but not your profits. You can also trade with small stakes such as £1 per point or per point.

]]>

To gain a little exposure you could simply trade European, UK or US Stock Market Indices, ie speculate on whether the FTSE 100, Dax 30, CAC 40, Dow Jones etc will go up or down.

If you speculate on the FTSE 100 to go up, with a £1 per point stake, and it goes up by 150 points then you would make 150 points x £1 per point = £150.

Note that you can trade the markets in Dollars, Sterling or Euros. If you want to trade in Euros then 150 points x €1 per point = €150.

Of course if the market went against you, dropping by say 120 points, then with a £1 stake you would lose 120 points x £1 per point = £120.

That would not be the best of starts. However, with firms like City Index you can add a Guaranteed Stop Loss at let’s say, 40 points.

If you were betting on the FTSE 100 it would simply mean that your bet would be closed if the FTSE 100 moved against you by 40 points. Therefore, instead of losing £120, you’d only lose 40 points x £1 per point = £40.

Of course, if you had correctly predicted the market direction then your upside would still be £150 if it moved 150 points or £75 if the FTSE 100 moved 75 points.

Spread betting does have many other advantages though, not simply the risk management tools.

Due to the broad variety of markets that are available, spread trading is an option that investors should consider. Spread betting companies usually provide investors with thousands of markets on which they can trade including shares, stock market indices, commodities and even minor currency exchange rates.

You can go long or short of the markets. As a result, you can speculate on a particular market to move in the direction that you think it is going to move. You are not limited to spread betting on a product to rise, you can speculate on it to fall.

You are not buying or selling any assets or rights; instead you merely spread bet on the future price of a market. This means that there is no income tax or capital gains tax on spread bets*.

Unlike trading stocks and shares, you are not charged broker’s fees or commission based charges.

Ensure that you fully understand the risks before you trade. Using smaller stake sizes and applying a Stop Loss can help lower your risk.

* According to current UK tax law. If you pay tax in another jurisdiction then tax law may vary.

Natural Solutions Foundation Expands Global Health Freedom Campaign: Prof. B. M. Hegde to Head Natural Solutions Foundation – India

Natural Solutions Foundation Expands Global Health Freedom Campaign: Prof. B. M. Hegde to Head Natural Solutions Foundation – India

Mangalore, India (PRWEB) July 13, 2006

The Natural Solutions Foundation announced today at a Press Conference at the Mangalore Press Club that Professor B. M. Hegde, MD, one of the world’s leading experts and advocates on Whole Person Healing and natural health, has agreed to chair its Indian organization. Dr. Hegde’s commitments and contribution to natural health, http://www.bmhegde.com/, span more than 40 years so his involvement with the Natural Solutions Foundation, http://www.HealthFreedomUSA.org, was only natural.

At a press conference at the Mangalore Press Club Professor Hegde introduced the Mangalore press corps to both the work of the Natural Solutions Foundation in their crusade for natural health and health freedom around the world and to their President and Director who are visiting India in order to meet with consumer leaders and decision makers around the threats to such freedom presented by Codex Alimentarius, the world’s food standard setting body.

Dr. Hegde, whose new book, What Doctors Don’t Get to Study in Medical School (Anshan Ltd, July 1, 2006)has been described as “a polemic against and an appreciation of the art and practice of medicine,” http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1904798845/qid=1152556098/sr=11-1/ref=sr_11_1/002-0353665-9603274?n=283155, dovetails with the position of the Natural Solutions Foundation which supports the right of people everywhere to choose clean, unadulterated food and natural methods for promoting and recovering health if they choose them. These natural methods include high potency nutrients and herbs, options which are seriously threatened by Codex Alimentarius (Codex).

Codex is the world’s food standard setting body and was formed at the request of the United Nations in 1962. It is administered and funded by the World Health Organization (WHO) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) and meets once a year in either Rome or Geneva. However, its committees meet throughout the year and propose standards and guidelines to Codex for ratification or forward movement each year at that meeting.

The Natural Solutions Foundation, a privately funded organization with no industrial ties or support, has been vigorously engaged in alerting both consumers and decision makers in the United States, Africa and India about the threat that Codex poses to their health and health freedom and, most important, what countries can do to protect their people from an adulterated food supply and institutionalized under nutrition mandated by many of the Codex Alimentarius standards and guidelines. The Natural Solutions Foundation believes that many Codex ratifications are driven by the interests of the multinational corporations which are often called the 5 “Bigs”: Big Pharma, Big Agribiz, Big Chema, Big Biotechna and Big Medica since those 5 corporate constituencies derive the most benefit from Codex standards and guidelines and put large amounts of resources into NGOs and other means of influencing the decisions of Codex, a largely unknown, but highly influential international body.

Codex standards and guidelines serve as one source of decision making in trade disputes involving food for the World Trade Organization, which levies penalties against countries who create “barriers to trade.” Although many mistakenly believe that Codex standards and guidelines are mandatory on member nations, in fact they are voluntary and may be replaced by each country with standards which are based on better science and enacted into law by a county with a pro-health agenda. The Natural Solutions Foundation’s Codex Book, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/resources/books.shtml, applies this principle to the restrictive and destructive Codex Vitamin and Mineral Guideline, which treats nutrients as toxins. Their informative DVD, “Nutricide: the DVD” details the origin of Codex from its conception by a convicted German War Criminal, http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/aboutcodex/dvd.shtml.

This pair of health-freedom enhancing actions is being shared with consumers and decision makers world wide by Major General Albert N. Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.), the President of the Natural Solutions Foundation and Rima E. Laibow, MD, its Medical Director.

In their talk at the Press Club in Mangalore today they shared these realities with the press and urged them to help alert the public and Indian leaders about these challenges to health freedom and natural health options while celebrating Dr. Hegde’s appointment as the Chairman of the Natural Solutions Foundation’s Indian organization.

Dr. Hegde brings with him a 40+ year of outstanding luster in academia and clinical medicine and as a spokesperson for the health and health freedom which the Natural Solutions Foundation supports and endorses.

Integration Point Announces New Resource for Global Trade Compliance Managers

Integration Point Announces New Resource for Global Trade Compliance Managers

Charlotte, NC (PRWEB) September 15, 2009

Integration Point®, Inc., a provider of global trade compliance software, announces a new ARC Advisory Group white paper — ”Beyond Software: The Role of Content and Connectivity in Global Trade Management” — is available as a complimentary download on its website (http://www.IntegrationPoint.com ). This informative resource discusses the importance of deploying a global trade management solution that addresses all three components — compliance, content, and connectivity.

“Software functionality is only one component of a complete GTM solution,” states Adrian Gonzalez, Analyst for ARC Advisory Group. “Companies often overlook the importance of global trade content, particularly the role it plays in extending the value of GTM across the enterprise. The same is true for connectivity. Establishing and maintaining connectivity with a dynamic set of trading partners is an integral component of GTM, but one that many companies fail to consider when evaluating software options.”

Integration Point provides a complete Global Trade Management solution that not only assists organizations with meeting compliance requirements around the world, but also provides connectivity with supply chain partners and updated trade compliance content such as global tariff schedules, VAT, charge formulas, restricted party screening lists, and free trade agreement rules. The Integration Point GTM solution includes export management, import management, duty deferral program management, supply chain compliance, and trade content from over 140 countries.

“The ARC white paper highlights the importance for companies to build a global trade compliance program that includes not only software functionality to meet regulatory requirements, but more importantly, provides baked-in trade content and supply chain connectivity that is already established,” said Clay Perry, Senior Vice President – Global Markets at Integration Point. “Once a company integrates with our solutions, we then handle the connectivity to the service providers and regulatory agencies required to move the goods globally. At Integration Point, we envision our solutions as the ‘single window’ to the trade compliance supply chain.”
