The Dynamics of Disruption in the U.S. Automotive Industry: The New Generation of Opportunity And Threat
The U.S. Automotive industry — from materials through the retail channel -- is facing the most dynamic period of change in more than half a century. The impact of geo-political events, recessions and bankruptcies lacked the disruptive horsepower of the last two years. Production strategies by automakers, product portfolios, the supply and demand balance, pricing and margin profiles, shop/compare/buy capabilities of consumers are changed permanently — and for the better. We'll drive directly through all those topics at CADA Convention 2022.
