The development of automotive safety system industry in 2011 is nearly same with that in 2010. The growth rate of the industry leader Autoliv is much higher than the industry average level. Autoliv will gain the revenue of over USD10 billion in 2011, up 13.3%.

The largest market of Japanese manufacturer Takata is the United States instead of Japan. The yen appreciation has led to the decline in the export of Takata. TRW has benefited from the Chinese market. TRW's largest customer is Volkswagen, which accounts for 20% of the revenue of TRW. Volkswagen is growing rapidly in China.

Japanese manufacturers suffer from the yen appreciation. Except Takata, Japanese manufacturers mainly produce seat belts and steering wheels with low technological content and market growth rate.
