Automotive suppliers sustain margins amid slower growth in 2025
Automotive suppliers showed resilience in 2025, sustaining margins despite slower revenue growth. Asia-Pacific led expansion, while efficiency and cost discipline drove profitability. As we head into 2026, electrification, supply chain localization, and material cost management will define success.
Automotive component suppliers demonstrated resilience during the first nine months of 2025 (January–September), navigating a period of moderating top-line growth while effectively enhancing profitability, compared to the strong performance in the corresponding period of 2024. While overall revenue growth decelerated from the double-digit pace observed earlier, the industry managed to expand its collective operating margins, reflecting a strong focus on operational efficiencies and cost management amid a cautious global market.
