In brief
Automotive suppliers are facing tough times: regionally stagnating car production, manufacturer overcapacity and ongoing consolidation in the industry, to name just a few.
Suppliers are responding to these challenges by focusing on reducing overhead costs, sourcing from low-cost countries, developing new product launch management and improving R&D efficiency.
Yet these solutions have their own problems: relocating production to low-cost countries such as India, China or Russia to counterbalance price pressure can be difficult. In addition, ambitious emissions targets are making further demands on innovation as suppliers tackle problems of fuel injection and treatment of emissions.
