Corporate Finance: Automotive
The consolidation process within the automotive supplier industry will continue. By the year 2015, the number of suppliers will decrease to 2,800, which translates to a 50% reduction over about ten years. This trend is being driven by unrelenting cost pressure in practically all vehicle modules, accompanied by increasingly more demanding requirements (e.g. vehicle electronics), the intense pressure on the industry to innovate, and the growing need for capital to finance expansion strategies, R&D, and modernization.
Oliver Wyman helps large-scale financial investors develop an automotive investment strategy, identify suitable investment segments, select and evaluate the right target companies, and evaluate their future value potential. In addition, Oliver Wyman assesses the target company’s ability to change its business model and manage the “buy and build” process. Oliver Wyman Transaction Services provides Broker-Dealer support, as required.
