Shift to the East Report

PRLog (Press Release) – Nov 24, 2007 – Brought to you in association with QAD, the primary purpose of this report is to record and analyse recognised international data relating to the production, import and export of automotive components in order to shed light on the widely held view that automotive component production has largely migrated in its first support phase, from west to central Europe and in its second phase is now moving even further to eastern Europe.

In analysing this shift the report seeks to quantify this movement and where possible, to offer a prognosis for the future.

The time scale for the report covers the 1995 – 2005 period and 2006 where possible and depending on data reliability the report also seeks to offer reliable prognoses for the future, based on verifiable estimates and/or forecasts.

The report also seeks to shed light on an underlying confusion on the rather tired lexicon of "east" and "west" or what is meant by these references or to see this movement as a kind of earth shattering revolution. OEMs in the automotive industry are following the same well-trodden path as those in other industries have chosen before.
