f you look at the current headlines around electric mobility, they are mostly negative. Car rental companies such as Sixt and Hertz are reducing the percentage of electric vehicles in their fleets, Audi wants to bring fewer electric models onto the market, and Mercedes is stopping a complete e-platform. <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n <\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

However, automotive production in China and the USA is also predicted to grow by 2030. The question for suppliers is therefore how they can participate in this growth and whether they need to adapt their focus technologies and the geographical location of their production sites.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Growth in China, the USA, and Mexico, site closures in Germany<\/strong><\/h2>

If we look at the forecast production site developments of the world\u2019s TOP 20 automotive suppliers, at first glance a positive trend emerges: between January 2022 and February 2024, suppliers announced significantly more expansions and new openings than closures and disposals (see Figure 1).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

However, this does not apply equally to all countries, especially not to Germany, where sales and closures predominate (see Figure 2) as well as relocations to other regions, for example at Continental. The Babenhausen plant will be closed by 2028, parts of the production there have already been relocated to Eastern Europe and the plant in Gifhorn will be completely closed down by the end of 2027 due to a lack of profitability.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

There are also a large number of plant sales and closures in the USA. In contrast to Germany, however, there are no signs of a structural exodus here, as the plant closures are being more than offset by a significantly larger number of new ones being opened and existing capacities expanded. Electric mobility is a key driver of growth in the USA (Figure 3) \u2013 the Inflation Reduction Act has the potential to further strengthen this momentum. Apart from the USA, Japan, Canada, Hungary, and China in particular are among the winners in terms of new openings and expansions (Figure 2).<\/p>

By far the highest growth is expected in China \u2013 as in the USA, here too, investments in the production of electric drivetrains clearly dominate at over 40%. German companies play a key role here, accounting for almost 40% of the aforementioned investments in China \u2013 and are therefore responsible for more local investments than China\u2019s TOP 20 suppliers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In Mexico, the investing companies specialize in the electrics and electronics markets. Around 40% of local investments are made in this area, such as for the expansion of three Aptiv sites to increase production capacity, e.g., for low-voltage cable harnesses.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Chinese and US companies investing primarily in domestic markets<\/strong><\/h2>

In addition to the trends of e-mobility and growth in China, the \u201chome country first\u201d trend stands out in the planned investments (Figure 4): US companies are focusing primarily on the American domestic market and far less on Asia or Europe. Chinese companies are also pursuing this strategy and clearly focusing their investments on the home market. In view of the recently adopted 100% import duty on Chinese electric vehicles in the USA, this is a clear sign of the increasing isolation of the two markets, which is also reflected in the investments of the suppliers under review.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

German companies, on the other hand, are showing little interest in new sites within their own country \u2013 even though at 27% they are responsible for the largest share of investment among the TOP 20 automotive suppliers. BOSCH is investing in new plants in China to increase production capacity for e-powertrain components, and ZF Friedrichshafen is investing USD 500 million in its existing site in Gray Court, South Carolina, to be able to produce both conventional and electrified drive systems there.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Sites in Germany are being closed \u2013 but German suppliers are leading the way in establishing new production capacities<\/strong><\/h2>

All in all, the view of the future from a German perspective is ambivalent: there will be a significant consolidation of automotive supplier locations in Germany \u2013 the expansions planned to drive the e-mobility transformation are mainly taking place in the USA and China. However, German suppliers also benefit indirectly from this development, as they are still strongly represented in these relevant growth markets \u2013 and can even expand their positions there.<\/p>

For globally operating automotive suppliers, it is worthwhile consolidating their presence in growth markets such as the USA and China, as this ensures compliance with local standards and avoids high logistics costs or looming import duties, and critical tier-n suppliers and their resources are easily accessible.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
