Monitors OEM sourcing strategies as well as developments in the supplier sector on a regional basis.
Access an OEM’s purchasing strategy, production forecasts, global footprint, supplier relations experiences, and SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat) analysis.
OEMs’ sourcing, investment, and production strategies are molded by a complex mix of interdependent factors, ranging from the outlook of local demand, trade tariffs, and supply base availability to OEMs’ technological and platform strategies. As the supply base becomes increasingly global, new opportunities are emerging for OEMs to optimize their sourcing cost structure by tapping suppliers in cost competitive countries. In addition, the deployment of new modular vehicle platforms creates significant economies of scale for OEMs. This affects current sourcing structures, raising the risks for suppliers to win big or lose big, and even threatens the very existence of some component manufacturers.
