Automotive

Globalization is accelerating as emerging markets grow and as automakers from mature markets consolidate.

Global light vehicle assembly is steadily growing which will contribute to more profits but in some cases may present capacity challenges for some companies.

OEMs & suppliers significantly reduced cost in response to significant volume reductions. Some will be challenged to maintain lower costs as recovery continues.

Emission standards are increasing in all regions, which presents risks and opportunities for automakers and their suppliers.

Assembly volumes for hybrid-electric vehicles & full-electric vehicles will increase as government funding is available and as consumer demand grows.

Light vehicle assembly volumes in China will likely grow 73% from 11 million units in 2009 to 19 million units in 2016.

Many automakers significantly reduced their dealer network in response to a redistribution of market share.
