Tier Supplier Profit Analysis: Mitigating Margin Compression and Manufacturing Costs

Following a decade in which the top automotive tier 1 suppliers enjoyed relatively stable profits, many companies are entering the new year struggling with declining vehicle sales and manufacturing volume. At the same time, stricter vehicle emissions regulations and wider automotive industry shifts in technology, most notably to develop and manufacture electrified powertrains and electric vehicles, require automotive suppliers to make huge investments and capital outlays. The impacts are being felt across automotive manufacturing footprints.

Automotive suppliers will increasingly have to find savings, including in manufacturing processes, materials and equipment, 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 companies far from certain. With this in mind, the 2020s are set to be a challenging decade, but also one filled with new opportunities.
