Some highlights from the report include:
- Election uncertainties, wavering consumer demand, and a slower-than-anticipated EV transition contributed to the sluggish vehicle production volumes for the year.
- While middle-market automotive M&A activity stalled in 2024 versus prior year levels, improving consumer demand, concluded elections, and contracting financing costs will enhance deal activity in the upcoming year.
- M&A in 2025 is expected to be bolstered by companies seeking to divest non-core assets as automotive companies seek to realign and restructure as well as supplier consolidations to enhance scale and better leverage fixed costs.
