Automotive industry important contributor to the World economy The automotive industry consumes: 50% of oil 50% of rubber 25% of glass 15% of steel And represents more than 10% of GDP in the developed countries
Automotive Industry Structure Customer Dealers OEMs Suppliers Suppliers Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 The suppliers directly supplying the OEM's such as tyres, brakes, seats, exhaust systems, glass, electrical components etc The suppliers supplying the Tier One's such as foundries, forges, machining plants, press shops, plastic moulders and textile manufacturers, also supply many other industries so are able to diversify their use of capacity outside the Automotive Sector Tier Three suppliers i.e. to the Tier Two's are usually raw material providers such as iron, steel, semi finished items like tubing etc.
Russian Automotive Sector Only 3% of the Russian GDP potential to grow Both Russian and international OEMs are present Three main automotive clusters are being developed: Volga region ( traditional Russian OEMs AvtoVaz, GAZ, Kamaz, Sollers) St. Petersburg ( new international OEMs Ford, GM, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai) Kaluga ( new international OEMs VW, PSA, Volvo)
Russian Automotive Sector Map
Russian Automotive Sector Opportunities for OEMs: Long term car market growth prospects significant drop during the crisis BUT most analysts do not reconsider their long-term forecasts: car penetration still low fleet of existing cars is old Russia is expected to regain its status of the biggest car market in Europe Good prospects in other segments: _ Demand for trucks and light commercial vehicles will be driven by the general economic growth and in particular by the need for the infrastructure development Challenges for OEMs: Localisation of suppliers Infrastructure bottlenecks
Russian Automotive Sector Opportunities for suppliers: Regulatory pressure on OEMs to localize components manufacturing New assembly rules encouraging OEMs to increase output Improving local municipal support (e.g. Kaluga)
