LISI 2012
LISI AUTOMOTIVE
A
COMPLEX
SITUATION
The fall in the European
markets
- 13%
for Spain
- 14%
for France
- 20%
for Italy
- 3%
for Germany
A growing worldwide market but
a Europe which is “in the red”
Since the crisis of 2009, worldwide production has started
to grow again, driven by the markets in the emerging
countries and their principal locomotives, China and India.
For its part, the United States market also recorded a rise
of almost 14%, which confirmed in 2012 the remarkable
figure which it had rediscovered the previous year. Only
European production fell sharply with, respectively, -6.2%
for production and -7.8% for the market.
A player which is very tied
to its domestic market
The main customers of LISI AUTOMOTIVE remain for the
majority present on their national markets and in 2012
had mixed fortunes on the European chessboard:
• Falls in sales and production, often in double digits, for
the generalist manufacturers;
• Badly impacted performances for the French
manufacturers, more dependent on the countries of
the South, with a reduction in production in Europe for
Renault-Dacia of 13% and for Peugeot-Citroën of 22% as
a result of the specific impact of the halt in its exports to
Iran;
• More satisfactory production performances for the
“Premium”groups , BMWwhose European activity grew
by 3.5% in comparison with 2011, Daimler-Mercedes
which remained stable from one year to the next and
VW which succeeded in limiting its fall to 3% thanks to
its AUDI brand.
