According to industry analysts, though accelerating domestic demand is good news for the auto industry and the auto component sector, however analysts have sounded an alarm that soon the industry is going to face the problem in terms of surplus capacity. Driven by over ambitious plans, both small and big-sized companies are adding capacity; however, in the future there might be a demand-supply imbalance.
Profit margins will come under tremendous strain
With SME auto parts manufacturers and large vehicle manufacturers mull over capacity additions, definitely a slew of vehicles will be crowding the Indian marketplace and certainly consumers will be spoilt for choice, however this will lead to increased competition among SME auto component makers and auto majors, leading to decline in profit margins for auto component manufacturers.
According to a local car dealer “Consumers will have the benefit to zero down his choice from several cars available which are slated to be launched in the coming days, nonetheless, increased competition will force manufacturers and auto parts suppliers to price products more competitively, thereby bringing down their margins considerably.
