Ranking of the top 100 automotive suppliers (2021)
Summary
The role of the suppliers is changing
On the one hand, they are showing themselves as system suppliers who not only work for the car manufacturers, but can also give them with new know-how a helping hand on a large scale.
But there is also another side: due to times of Corona, semiconductor shortages, logistics problems and the Ukraine war, sales are much smaller anyway.
With their focus on high-margin vehicle models, the OEMs are reaping profits – in some cases at record levels. Suppliers, who are dependent on unit sales, are seeing less and less of this. They are partly the big losers of the crisis years.
As is well known, exceptions prove the rule:
The semiconductor manufacturers around NXP and Infineon are unsurprisingly among the shooting stars of the industry.
Electromobility is lifting battery cell manufacturers like the chinese CATL to new heights. In contrast, like Continental, Schaeffler, Harman or Denso, on the other hand, have to swallow the bitter pill of significant sales losses.
