Following a decade in which the top 20 automotive tier 1 suppliers enjoyed relatively stable profits, many suppliers are entering the new year struggling with declining vehicle sales and manufacturing volume.

The impacts are felt across the automotive supply chain.

Automotive suppliers will increasingly have to find savings, including in supply chain, logistics and manufacturing, to stay competitive, protect margins and increase spending for research and development in CASE (connected, autonomous, shared, electrified) technology – even with returns on investment for these technologies far from certain. With this in mind, the 2020s are set to be a challenging decade, but also one filled with new opportunities.
