Bluetooth technology is slowly gaining ground in the automotive market with its growing awareness and use. Wider application of bluetooth enabled devices such as headsets, cellular handsets and car kits is the reason for the emergence of this short-range technology as a consumer-demanded feature. Several vendors including Sony Ericsson, Parrot, Nokia and Motorola are offering bluetooth enabled after-market car kits suiting almost any model or make of car. Implementation of hands-free driving legislation in many countries is also one of the key factors promoting growth in the global bluetooth enabled devices market (http://www.strategyr.com/Bluetooth_Enabled_Devices_Market_Report.asp). Mobile phones represent the primary application area of the bluetooth technology.
Rapidly increasing demand for bluetooth-enabled cellular handsets is playing a major role in intensifying bluetooth's magnetism. Other bluetooth enabled devices gaining popularity include
music players, digital cameras, automobiles, stereo headsets and notebook and desktop PCs. Bluetooth enabled handset sales (http://www.strategyr.com/Bluetooth_Enabled_Devices_Market_Report.asp) worldwide are projected to grow at a
compounded annual growth rate of approximately 7.68% over the years 2011 through 2015, as stated in a recent report published by Global Industry Analysts, Inc. Technological advancements
coupled with growing need for sophisticated and stylish devices that blend well with contemporary lifestyles are driving market growth in this category. Further, ubiquitous presence of
mobile phones and enactment of driving laws in Europe and North America, which ban the use of mobile phones while driving, are helping spur demand for bluetooth enabled headsets.
