Understanding Automotive Sector Supply Chain Dynamics

resourcewise-automotive-infographic-20240826a_Avg Value of Plastics Chart

Will the raw materials for engineering plastics be more expensive, cheaper or the same in 2026? The eBook includes forecasting graphs for a range of key chemicals. 

The 30,000-plus components combined in a single automotive vehicle are sourced from a variety of complex value chains. Products are designed and then built to rigorous specifications before being shipped to automotive production lines worldwide. When parts are not built and supplied to the auto sector's strict timeframes, output ceases, and money is lost. Supply chain visibility is key to successful procurement in the automotive industry.  

Explore the Complex Supply Chains at the Heart of Polyacetal, Polyamide, and a range of engineered plastics

Since the beginning of the 2020s, the raw materials and intermediates that underpin the automotive sector have been subject to intense volatility. As the raw materials, processes, and global capacity evolve and innovate, the scramble for reliable and cost-effective feedstocks will intensify.

As global automotive production transitions to electric vehicles and production bases shift to accommodate market demand, procurement professionals need to understand factors at the core.

Our eBook unravels the supply chains supporting automotive production worldwide, using ResourceWise insight into upstream and intermediate chemical value chains and price indexes.
