A cloud of gloom hovers over the global automotive market as it continues to face plummeting vehicle sales and tightening credit conditions. The severity of the current economic condition is proving to be more difficult to overcome than once expected. In an attempt to rebound the industry continues to cut over capacity by slashing jobs and production and automakers aggressively try to tap growth opportunities in green cars, low-cost vehicles and emerging markets.
Join Automotive and Transportation Industry Analyst, Vigneshwaran Chandran as he discusses Frost & Sullivan's perspective on future growth opportunities in the auto industry and a timeframe for a rebound. Aspects that will be covered in this presentation are the historic sales trends, a scenario analysis for global sales forecast, an analysis of sales and growth prospects in the different countries and regions, and last but not least future growth opportunities and a market outlook.
"With R&D in hybrids and electric vehicles being a key for future business success vehicle manufacturers with a portfolio inclined towards fuel efficient cars and extensive presence in BRIC countries will emerge as winners in the current situation," observes Chandran regarding the situation for the vehicle manufacturers.
The presentation will benefit vehicle manufacturers, system suppliers, component and materials manufacturers and allied industries that are affected by automotive demand. The briefing will provide key insights on what is to be expected from the market in the next two years.
