Your webinar questions answered: How tier 1 suppliers are responding to tough headwinds

You asked, we answer. We return to the questions from our audience that we didn’t have time to answer in our live webinar, ranging from which parts of automotive tier 1 suppliers’ business models are at risk of commodification, to how tier suppliers are changing supply chain processes

In our first webinar, ’How to mitigate falling profits in the automotive supply base,’ we presented findings and insights from our research report into the finances and business models of major global tier 1 suppliers. In a Q&A session after the presentation, we attempted to answer audience questions that ranged from how tier suppliers are changing sourcing patterns, to what the impact of electrification and autonomy will have on OEM and tier supplier relationships.

We didn’t get a chance to cover all of the questions posed during the webinar, and so here you will find our answers to those we couldn’t get to during the live session. Get in touch if you want to discuss these or other points further.
