"The fundamental transformation of the car industry strikes at the core competencies of manufacturers and suppliers."

The new profit imperative for car makers – sales and aftersales at its best

The automotive industry is likely to change forever. Previously manufacturers had competed fiercely against each other, rooted in rigid structures and protected by high market entry barriers. Now they face a different kind of threat from new players – requiring new strategic alignments and ability to capture value much further downstream than before.

This analysis of automotive sales & after sales markets by PA offers insights that help you to formulate winning strategies in these areas of the value chain:

  • New car sales – master growth through outbound supply chain excellence

  • Fleet and used car – secure the margin by increase of residual value

  • After sales and parts – defend against independent providers

  • Financial services – dominate the market

  • Downstream value – formulate the strategic response.

The main theme of this insightful piece is about focus on services in the automotive industry as effective channels for client relationship management and customer retention.
