Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/e5134b/automobile_industr)
has announced the addition of the "Automobile Industry in Europe -
Regional Sector Profile - 2008" report to their offering.

The global automobile industry is going through a phase of change,
which is creating a number of opportunities for the IT vendors. For
example - led by strong economic growth in countries such as Brazil,
Russia, India and China, the automobile industry is shifting its focus
from the traditionally strong markets such as the Western Europe
towards these emerging markets. This trend is seen in both production
and sales of automobiles. This trend has led to a demand for
operations & manufacturing applications, supply chain management
applications, collaboration tools etc.

The industry is also affected by strict environment norms and is
investing heavily in research and development (R&D) to make vehicles
more fuel efficient or run on alternate fuels like biogas. Even this
is an opportunity for IT vendors in the area of information/data
management, server hardware, engineering applications etc.

The report is meant for IT vendors and intends to help them
identify selling opportunities within the company. Furthermore, the
identified sales drivers can be used to penetrate these accounts or
increase current share of the customers wallet.
