NEW YORK -- EMS sales from the North  American  automotive industry are likely
to grow from $1.1 billion in 2005 to $3.1 billion by 2012, according to Frost & Sullivan.

The uptick is due to greater outsourcing of certain key operations and a higher amount of electronic content
in cars.

“The increasing amount of electronic content and continuous technological advancements are acting as major incentives for OEMs and tier one suppliers to outsource to EMS providers,” said Frost research analyst Lavanya Ram Mohan. “Thus, the automotive industry, which was once a niche segment, has developed into a full-blown profitable market offering largely untapped opportunities to these providers.”
