2019 Global Automotive Executive Survey

Now in its 20th year, this survey is an annual assessment of what's next in the automotive industry.

To stay competitive, companies need to manage numerous issues, including an uncertain economy, fluctuating capital and debt markets, globalization, pressure from emerging markets, technological advances, increased regulation and shifts in consumer preferences.

Companies in the industrial markets space, including automotive, chemicals, and industrial manufacturing organizations must be nimble and prepared to respond to the changing environment in which they operate. Companies are cutting costs to stay competitive and in many cases this means reducing operating facilities and the workforce. At the same time, companies and their shareholders need more and better information to make the right decisions.
