OUTLOOK
07 Dec 2020|Moody's Investors Service
Our 2021 outlooks for global automotive manufacturers, North American auto parts suppliers and European auto parts suppliers are all stable, driven by our expectations that global car sales will rebound from the trough of 2020. The recovery will be uneven and will take until mid-decade to reach the previous cyclical peak achieved in 2018.
SECTOR IN-DEPTH
19 Nov 2020|Moody's Investors Service
Following their stronger-than-expected operating results in the third quarter, European auto parts suppliers will have to replace the nonrecurring cost savings that drove their recent operating improvements with more sustainable cost measures.
SECTOR IN-DEPTH
17 Nov 2020|Moody's Investors Service
The pandemic will hasten the auto industry’s localization of supply chains and reduce production capacity amid a heightened focus on workplace safety. It will also accelerate the sector’s shift to electrified vehicles as governments use stimulus measures to support decarbonization goals.
OUTLOOK
08 Sep 2020|Moody's Investors Service
Auto shipments plummeted as a result of the coronavirus and are now reaching a bottom. We expect a rebound to pre-downturn levels will be slow, with considerable downside risk.
