Competitive vendor landscape
The market is dominated by few top players from North America and European countries, such as Germany, France and the US. The market competition is effected by vehicle security systems that are technological advanced in terms of functionality, reliability, and accuracy. Vendors are focusing on research and development to improve and upgrade their technology to sustain the competition in the market. The companies are aiming on manufacturing vehicle security systems by exploring means to reduce cost of production and comply by the standards set by automotive OEMs. Many vendors in the market operate, supply materials and components like semiconductors, circuits, switches, hardware, and software for the production of keyless entry systems and immobilizers. The players are designing, developing, and manufacturing vehicle security systems, which include keyless entry systems, central locking systems, vehicle alarms, and immobilizer to increase the customer base.
“Several manufacturers are investing in technology to implement biometrics-based vehicle security systems. Such technologies work to identify physical parameters, such as voice, finger or palm print, iris structure, and typing rhythm. The system permits vehicle access after verifying the biometric fingerprint of the intended driver and examines the voiceprint and iris of the driver before the vehicle is allowed to start. Such technology will revolutionize the automotive industry,” says Siddharth J, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on automotive electronics.
