Global Automotive Market
Complimentary web conference reveals which global OEM is expected to cross the 10 million sales mark, while another may be acquired
2013 is expected to be the year of the dragons and eagles striving growth and balancing fall in the European automotive industry. While China is expected to cross 20 million vehicle sales, the U.S. market is expected to reach 15 million sales, a record high since the economic crisis in 2007. On the other side of the Pacific, the ASEAN markets had a tremendous growth in 2012 with Indonesia joining the one million sales club for the first time.
The Western European market on the other hand, shrunk by 8.5 per cent in 2012 with big markets such as Germany and France witnessing negative growth. The United Kingdom was the only Light Vehicle market witnessing an increase in sales in 2012 and is expected to experience the same in 2013.
Although competition for the global top spot in the industry is expected to continue between GM, Toyota, and Volkswagen, the question of the year will be, which OEM is expected to cross the 10 million unit sales mark. There are about one billion vehicles in operation creating a huge opportunity for aftermarket services. So what will 2013 have on hand?
During its upcoming complimentary web conference taking place on Tuesday, 5thth February 2013, at 4 pm GMT, Frost & Sullivan will present the 2013 Outlook on the Global Automotive Industry.
