Download review (355 Kb)

The study reviews investment activity by private equity firms and discusses future trends in what has become an influential force in the global automotive supplier marketplace.

The current credit crisis has certainly taken its toll on automotive industry investment activity in 2008, and while the near-term prognosis looks bleak, our research indicates that there will continue to be attractive investment opportunities for private equity funds when credit facilities stabilise.

The purpose of this study is to:

• Shed some light on the reasons for the decline in deal activity;
• Provide a detailed look at the auto industry and suggest potentially attractive segments for future investments; and
• Provide guidance on potential investment opportunities.
