The global automotive industry is faced with more petition, greater price transparency, rising customer expectations and quality improvements, making the pressure even greater on price and profitability. China presents the best opportunity for automakers due to increased government incentives and cooperation, cheaper labor, and proximity to a large population of potential consumers. ?

The upside for domestic automakers is that it is doubtful the Japanese can continue increasing their share at the same pace. Fewer segments are left for the Japanese to invade.

However, these strategies have seriously pressured profits. ? DaimlerChrysler reported in July 2020 that ine fell worse than it has since the industry‘s last poor earnings period in late 2020. ? Mitsubishi promoted easy credit, including loans that deferred payments for a year to consumers with weak credit but have recently rescinded this promotion due to profit erosion. ? PSA‘s profit was hit mostly due to the rise of the Euro, especially against the British Pound and Brazilian Real, Brazil being where it has one plant. ?
