New Media, iPods, PNDs Bring Growth to Car A/V Market

摘要

The world of in-car entertainment is steadily expanding with the support of enhanced car audio-video (A/V) systems. Although car audio market has reached a period of maturity, the market continues to grow with the emergence of new media and products that can be used with portable digital audio players. Furthermore, the market for visual products, such as car TVs and car DVD players, is also growing. These products are helping to expand the in-car entertainment market. The portable Personal Navigation Device (PND) market has grown rapidly since last year. This growth has stimulated demand for installed car navigation systems, and many new products using PNDs are also being introduced. Meanwhile, a variety of new functions proposed for PNDs should further expand the market.
