Global Automotive Supplier Study

2008

For the third time, investment bank Rothschild and Roland Berger Strategy Consultants are looking back on some interesting data and analysis on the financial performance of the global automotive supplier industry. Overall, many suppliers are not prepared well enough for the upcoming challenges. This study describes a framework of 15 strategic levers for future success in the supplier business.

• Automotive suppliers are facing one of the most competitive environments ever (increasing raw material prices, low cost competition, …) – and pressure will further increase
• Nevertheless, global profitability continued to improve further in 2007 (average EBIT margin 2007: 5.4%, average ROCE margin: 11.9%)
• Mid-sized and large suppliers based in Europe, Japan and India have been particularly successful
