China’s market for automotive ADAS on the rise, PC shipments increasing

According to research conducted by IHS iSuppli Research, the market for automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in China is predicted to rise to $3.1 billion in 2019, up from $971.0 million in 2013. During the initial years of the forecast, growth rates will mostly be in the 19% to 20% range, moderating to a still-robust 13% in the last two years, as shown in the infographic above.

Other research conducted by the firm shows that China has dominated the PC market since 2012, leaving the United States in second place. PC shipments to China hit 69 million units while 66 million were shipped to the United States. In most parts of the world, desktop computer sales lag behind those of laptops, but according to IHS, the demand in China was evenly split between the categories due to the demand in the country's rural areas. The balance is predicted to shift to reflect the global 36% to 64% ratio as laptops gain popularity in China.
