The automotive industry is evolving and adopting advanced technological developments and innovations, such as voice-enabled audio systems and smartphone-controlled audio systems, along with an increased focus on driver’s comfort and safety. Further, with the development of ADAS and connected cars technology, the car audio market is experiencing a drastic change with companies focusing on their product development to efficiently compete with their rivals.

The market for both premium and standard audio systems is experiencing growth in terms of volume. Although the premium audio systems are expensive, it is expected to dominate in the coming years and capture a larger share than generic car audio systems. Most of the OEMs are opting for premium audio systems even in lower segment of cars resulting in the higher growth rate of premium audio systems than non-branded audio systems. These OEMs partner with varied car audio manufacturers for their different car models, depending on the technology and cost.

With the rising concerns regarding vehicular emission, major OEMs are shifting their focus toward electric vehicle. With the increasing demand for electric vehicles, the demand for car audio systems is subsequently expected to increase. Electric vehicles are available at a premium price across the globe; this increases the chances of integrating a branded audio system into the vehicles.

Additionally, the touch operated is witnessing a higher growth rate than manually operated audio systems owing to increasing penetration of smartphones and the availability of better internet services. Although, the market for touch-controlled audio system is in its infancy, but it is expected to grow at a higher CAGR due to rising concern for driver safety and ease of use.

APAC accounted for the major share of the global car audio market. The car audio market in APAC is further segmented into China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and the Rest of APAC. The economy of the region is performing well with numerous technological and infrastructural developments. The car audio market in APAC is primarily driven by increasing disposable income and changing consumer preferences. The automotive industry in countries such as India, China, and South Korea is growing owing to the increasing manufacturing of vehicles. For instance, India produced total 4,516,017 vehicles, of which 3,623,335 were cars in 2019. Also, in 2019, China was the largest vehicle producing country across the world; it produced 25,720,665 vehicles in 2019, of which 21,360,193 were cars.

Declaración sobre la donación de más de 60.000 máscaras N95 a centros comunitarios que ofrecen servicios de salud física y mental a comunidades hispanas menos favorecidas

WASHINGTON, 6 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «Mientras seguimos viendo el aumento de casos de COVID-19 en las comunidades hispanas, agradecemos a

WASHINGTON, 6 de agosto de 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — «Mientras seguimos viendo el aumento de casos de COVID-19 en las comunidades hispanas, agradecemos a Committee of 100 (C100) por su generosa donación de más de 60.000 máscaras con respirador N95 con aprobación de la FDA a 15 de nuestras agencias miembro, que están brindando servicios de salud física y mental de primera línea durante el COVID-19. Hoy más que nunca tenemos que apoyarnos mutuamente», dijo la doctora Jane L. Delgado, presidenta y CEO de la National Alliance for Hispanic Health (Alianza Nacional para la Salud de los Hispanos, la Alianza).

Las tasas de COVID-19 son más de 3 veces mayores para los hispanos que para los blancos no hispanos, y la necesidad de equipos de protección personal (PPE por sus siglas en inglés) es crucial para aquellos que están brindando atención de primera línea a las comunidades afectadas. La necesidad de equipos de protección personal ha sido objeto de audiencias la semana pasada en el Comité de Finanzas del Senado, y forma parte de la Ley HEROES aprobada por la Cámara y la Ley HEAL que se está debatiendo en el Senado para abordar la pandemia de COVID-19 en curso.

«C100 se enorgullece de proveer el muy necesario equipo de protección personal a las agencias comunitarias de que proporcionan servicios de salud física y mental en las comunidades hispanas y de color, donde la gente está sufriendo el embate de la pandemia», dijo Zhengyu Huang, presidente de C100. «Agradecemos la sociedad con la Alianza para ayudar a las personas menos favorecidas y generar una alianza entre norteamericanos de origen hispano y chino».

«Todos nuestros trabajadores de la salud merecen los PPE que son necesarios para seguir brindando atención durante esta pandemia, y a la vez proteger su salud y la de sus colegas, sus familias y sus comunidades. Esta donación ayuda a los miembros de la Alianza a cumplir su misión, y ayuda a garantizar que no se propague ningún caso de COVID-19 simplemente porque un trabajador de la salud carece de una máscara de protección», concluyó la Dra. Delgado.

Nota a los editores: Las personas que necesiten servicios de salud relacionados con el COVID-19 o de otro tipo pueden llamar gratis a la línea de ayuda bilingüe (español e inglés) Su Familia al 1-866-783-2645 para ser referidos a servicios en su comunidad.

Packaged Facts: Coronavirus Has Changed Consumer Eating and Home Gardening Habits

ROCKVILLE, Md., Aug. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Due to the coronavirus, many consumers are changing their eating habits. About 30% of consumers agree they are eating less healthily, while 42% of consumers think they are eating more healthily, according to data published in Home Gardening Consumer Insights, a recent report by market research firm Packaged Facts. Based on these findings, it is important that the overall direction is toward healthy eating because food gardening correlates strongly with interest in eating healthy foods.

A large majority of consumers also agree they are now more concerned about food waste, while 34% are eating more locally produced foods. Although 29% of consumers agree they are eating less fresh produce, a strong majority (two-thirds) disagree with this statement, showing that overall, people seem to be trying to eat healthier during the pandemic even as they have access to more and more food options as restaurants and other social venues continue to reopen.

«We believe more people may be looking to plant a food garden to help them on this journey by growing more fresh produce at home and not needing to rely on grocery stores or other retailers,» says Jennifer Mapes-Christ, food and beverage publisher for Packaged Facts.

Even before the coronavirus pandemic, many Americans still gardened as a hobby, even if popularity was waning. Over the last decade, busy consumers previously have had less time to devote to gardening. However, history has shown that during times of crisis interest in home gardening is renewed. For example, historical data indicates increasing popularity of gardening around the time of the 2007-2009 U.S. recession.

«In times of financial crisis and economic insecurity, consumers often change their behaviors by spending less money on nonessentials and trading down to lower cost products. Consumers facing insecurity or uncertainty about the future may turn to gardening as a stress relieving activity, a way to spend one’s time while temporarily unemployed, or a low-cost way to grow food for their families,» says Mapes-Christ.

The natural assumption is that the popularity of home gardening is limited to American homeowners with an outdoor space at their residence, such as a yard, lawn, or garden. Yet even among renters or those with limited access to an outdoor space such as a yard, Packaged Facts’ research suggests that a percentage of people planting a garden due to the coronavirus may be planting container gardens, which can be grown indoors, on a balcony, or in outdoor areas such as a driveway or patio.
