The U.S. automotive industry is entering a critical period of change. Technology shifts, talent shortages, supply chain pressure, and rising global competition are redefining what it takes to compete.
To understand where the greatest opportunities and vulnerabilities exist, Arthur D. Little and MEMA Original Equipment Suppliers partnered on a new study titled Turbocharging U.S. Automotive Manufacturing Competitiveness.
Based on input from 109 global suppliers and more than 30 industry executives, the report explores:
Where reshoring is most feasible and where major gaps remain
How Tier 2 and Tier 3 suppliers influence the entire supply chain
Why labor challenges and automation capability are now directly connected
Which system-critical components should be prioritized for U.S. production
What OEMs, suppliers, and policymakers can do together to strengthen domestic competitiveness
Why rare earth materials are becoming a strategic risk area for EV technologies
If you want a clear and forward-looking view of what will shape U.S. automotive manufacturing over the next decade, this study provides essential insight.
