Background to this Research

According to recent indicators, the actions taken by governments in response to the world financial crisis are having a positive effect and the global economy's rate of decline is moderating. There are even signs of recovery. As a result, world GDP growth over the next four quarters is expected to average 2% to 3%. If this trend continues, we will have weathered the world economys most severe annual contraction in more than 60 years, and the global market for light vehicles will fulfil its projected growth from 66m in 2006 to 80m units by 2014.

From the perspective of Exhaust and After-treatment System (EAS) suppliers, who have seen a catastrophic fall in business volumes, this news means that they can turn their attention from mere survival to reclaiming revenues and market share.
