Although external market surveys indicate slight recent growth and strong performance in the automotive sector, overall production capacity remains in a low-level consolidation under this authoritative data framework. Moving forward, close attention must be paid to the impact of extreme heat driving up shipping costs on the Rhine River and the Middle East conflict on energy prices.
