Automotive parts 2008 - 2013
Fastest way to become a successful supplier of Automotive parts in Europe
New CBI export coaching programme for automotive parts 2008 - 2013
Nowadays companies all over the world are under pressure, sales may have dropped.
Demand in the OEM segment has dropped considerably but it is expected that demand in the aftermarket will increase.
The European Engineering Industries Association Orgalime reports that the agricultural machinery sector does well and it is expected to do also the coming years.
More European companies may look for reliable suppliers in emerging markets. Suppliers that stand out have better chances.
Opportunities
Production of cars and commercial vehicles in Europe increased by 1.8% in the period 2003 – 2007 to almost 20.000 million. Import of parts in 2005 was € 173 milliard, of which about 15% from developing countries.
Germany, France, Spain, UK, Italy and Sweden are the most important markets.
A continuing trend in the automotive industry is that companies source parts and accessories globally. Especially labour-intensive production of parts has moved to low-cost countries. This means there are good opportunities for aspiring exporters.
The only question is: how do you turn them into profitable business?
The programme which ended in 2007 was quite successful. Participants achieved an average additional turnover of almost EURO 400.000,- .
Through this programme some major OEM’s / tier-1 suppliers have successfully used CBI to acquire new suppliers.
Intensive support
Selected participants will be given intensive, tailored support in acquiring a firm and lasting foothold on the EU market. For five years they will be coached by a team of sector experts in the fields of product improvement, production, quality control, management, export marketing and market entry. To help them develop actual business leads, collective trade fair participations at leading trade fairs around Europe will be part of the programme.
