Webinar: How and Where to Find Growth Opportunities in the Latin American Automotive Industry by 2020

SÃO PAULO, Sept. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

The Latin American (LATAM) automotive market experienced in 2015 a critical period resulting in a decline of approximately 3%, this trend was expected to continue towards 2016. Indeed, during the first 8 months of 2016, vehicle sales in Brazil kept decreasing, although Argentina has shown a rise over the same period last year.

However, in terms of long-term sustainability, new developments in vehicle technologies and in-vehicle services around infotainment and connected services are disrupting the industry. The changing market dynamics are leading to new alliances and a strong merger and acquisitions environment, opening the floor for innovative business models. Furthermore, automotive product-centered businesses are moving into value-added services.
