Innovation and Growth Markets are the Way Forward

The 2012 top 30 automotive supplier strategic insight research service aims to benchmark suppliers based on the following 3 key areas: financial performance, geographic diversity, and technology portfolio. The study identifies the fastest- and largest-growing technologies between 2010 and 2020 and maps supplier revenues to these technologies in order to identify their growth prospects. The geographic diversity of revenue sourcing is used to determine the growth prospects based on emerging markets such as China and India. The financial performance is based on 5 key parameters collected from 2009-2012.

Key Questions Answered

• What technologies are expected to grow fastest and post the largest revenue by 2020? What will be the penetration and prices at a global level?
• What are the key areas for suppliers to invest in? What will the growth pattern of suppliers be, based on their current product portfolio?
• What is the financial position of suppliers, based on parameters sourced from financial and annual reports?
