Automotive Suppliers

In view of growing cost and competitive pressure, the development of new technologies is shifting more to suppliers. They can therefore develop into providers of solutions to problems. Above all, however, innovations can secure market position and market share.

Automotive suppliers are striving to transform themselves from international to global players. The expansion of production capacities in Europe, North America and Asia is backed by ambitious growth targets.

Development synergies, cooperations and acquisitions in high-growth market niches can open up new markets. KPMG helps you achieve your growth goals.
