Recent interviews with 42 senior executives across the automotive supply chain, conducted by S&P Global Mobility, uncovered three critical challenges that suppliers anticipate this year: supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, and regulatory challenges.

However, new technology trends and revenue opportunities are also providing some positive momentum. With electric vehicles (EVs), connectivity, and sustainability driving the future, suppliers will need to recalibrate their strategies to thrive in a dynamic and competitive market.
