Top 5 Vendors in the Global Automotive Immobilizer Market from 2016 to 2020: Technavio


Technavio has announced the top five leading vendors in their recent global automotive immobilizer market report. This research report also lists 11 other prominent vendors that are expected to impact the market during the forecast period.

The automotive immobilizer, also known as engine immobilizer, is a vehicle anti-theft system. It is embedded into the engine ECU. It allows the engine to start only with the vehicle's authorized key. The transponder chip in the vehicle key stores the digital security code or password. The code stored in the key and the one stored in the vehicle unit should match for the ECU to allow engine ignition. Once matched, the immobilizer sends a signal to the engine management system to activate the engine.

Car theft has been cited to have decreased substantially because of the increased penetration of transponder-based immobilizer systems. With the increasing tech savviness involved in theft professionalism, the demand for enhanced protection mechanisms through better encryption methods and better integration of security systems in vehicle electronics has been cited to be surging. This has also led to the development of advanced immobilizers that can be operated even through a smart phone. This eliminates the requirement of key fobs and keys. The security-deficient storage practices have led to the rise in failures of existing immobilizer systems.

Competitive scenario

Due to the complex nature of the automotive industry, most of the security system manufacturers are constantly under high cost restrictions and pressure from the OEM suppliers, which forces the manufacturers to operate in strict margins and with little scope of operational inefficiencies. Although the automotive industry promises volumes, the profitability is under doubt due to the high cost pressure.

"The automotive industry is governed by strict regulations and standards which will further impact and influence the profitability of vehicle security systems. To maintain profitability in the market, players require constant investment in research and at the same time maintain cost of production," says Siddharth Jaiswal, a lead automotive electronics analyst from Technavio.

As the automotive industry requires high standard compliance, material and component suppliers lay a critical role in the automotive security system value chain. Numerous large as well as smaller regional players operate, supply materials and components. Some of the major players include NXP, Infineon, Microchip, and Atmel (News - Alert) among others.
