Today’s business landscape is fast-moving and unpredictable, characterised by geopolitical tensions, regional conflicts, stuttering economic conditions, and rapid technological change. It’s a potent mix of factors that may keep any CEO up at night.
Despite this, the KPMG 2024 Industrial Manufacturing and Automotive CEO Outlook, based on the views of 240 leaders in the sectors, finds that CEOs are generally optimistic, with their eyes turning toward a growth agenda.
Industrial manufacturing and automotive are dynamic, evolving industries. They make a significant contribution to national economies. They often sit at the heart of local communities, providing employment opportunities in an exciting and varied place to work.
For all these reasons, despite the many pressure points, there is a bold future ahead. CEOs are aware of the hurdles they must negotiate – but they are also confident about the opportunities in front of them.
