Surveys

AICMA carries out regular sector-focused surveys to give members practical, data-based insight into the forces shaping automotive and components manufacturing. These studies explore market conditions, production challenges, workforce needs, technology adoption, and supply chain developments, so members can see clearly where the sector is moving and how their own operations compare.

Information is drawn from a wide range of members and partners across the automotive supply chain, which keeps every finding grounded in what manufacturers, suppliers, and component makers are actually experiencing rather than in any single company’s view.

Findings are shared through clear reports and visual summaries: the reports set out the full detail for members who want to examine the evidence closely, while the visual summaries make the key trends and comparisons easy to take in at a glance.

Members may also propose tailored surveys on specific themes or regions — where a question is specific to one product line, one market, or one stage of the supply chain, a focused study can be arranged to answer it directly.

Every response contributes to shared knowledge that supports informed decision-making, strategic planning, and the long-term development of the sector, building a body of evidence that benefits the whole automotive and components manufacturing community.
