Automotive Industry German premium manufacturers challenging the lull.
The European automotive industry is in the deepest crisis for twenty years According to the industry association, ACEA, last year, 2012, the number of new motor vehicle registrations fell in the EU eight percent compared to the previous year making it the fifth consecutive year the last increase was in 2007 with twelve million new cars, as few cars were sold in 2012 in the EU as has been the case before, in 1995, the fall was particularly marked in December compared to the same month last year 16 percent fewer cars were sold.
The global trend is in stark contrast to the lull in the European market in the world automotive industry has been a growth market for 2012 was the third record year in succession with nearly 80 million vehicles sold Total growth-driver in the world One is - who else could it be possible - China.
China has advanced the largest car market in the world and will continue to grow, Daimler boss Dieter Zetsche recently predicted in Handelsblatt Because of the need to catch up in emerging countries is still huge, the degree of motorization is still relatively low, but not that China is booming - the United States as the automakers sales figures rose in 2012.
A growing number of cars find their way on the roads of Chinese cities such as Kunming pictures Jialiang Gao.
The European car market is weakening, however, as the overall economy, with vehicle sales closely related to its business performance There was a particularly sharp fall in car sales in 2012 in Italy, France and Spain in these countries up to twenty cars less per hundred were sold the previous year not surprising given the double-digit rates of unemployment in some cases.
In Germany, by contrast, manufacturers recorded only slight declines, but again, they had to work very hard to win customers with many discount promotions According to ACEA, Britain was the only European nation to record even increased car sales declines and losses are unevenly distributed not only in the EU countries, but also among the manufacturers.
Hardest hit by the sales crisis were mass producers like France PSA, the parent company of Peugeot and Citroen, Renault, Opel, Ford and Fiat Ford has already closed a plant in Belgium, while Opel announced the closure of its Bochum plant closure in 2016 of a PSA factory near Paris was only temporarily prevented by the intervention of the French government and a bailout of billions.
However, premiums supposedly providers are much less affected by the crisis of European sales Although sales in the EU also dropped slightly, BMW, Daimler Co holds a powerful position in the world market and therefore benefit the growth of the automotive industry in particular in China and the United States in these countries, demand for German cars is greater than ever and that helped manufacturers to achieve record sales in 2012 BMW, Daimler and VW sold more cars worldwide than ever the best performance was VW, which first broke the barrier nine million sold vehicles.

The main industries providing as the steel tube industry also benefited from the strong market position of the high-end manufacturers The strong position of German premium supplier on the world market is currently still compensates mostly weak global market Europe says Frank Harms, Executive Director, Association of German steel pipes Wirtschaftsvereinigung WV Stahlrohre.
According to West Virginia Stahlrohre, Germany, the automotive industry and its suppliers account for about 15 percent of demand for tubular steel products Much of this is seamless precision steel tubes and welded They are equipped for example by cross and longitudinal beams, door reinforcement tubes into the body of the vehicle, such as stabilizers and buffer tubes in the frame or crankshaft tubes and the camshaft and the diesel injection tubes in the section of the powertrain.
They can also be found inside as airbag tubes in the seats or the dashboard and instrument panel supports the German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers Association Zentralverband Elektrotechnik- und Elektronikindustrie -ZVEI also reports that slight cuts for 2012 in the automotive electronics sector.
But even if VW Co begin to waver After all, according to most experts, the prospects of the European car market are anything but even rose to 2013 is concerned with the trend of car sales continue downward, said Harms, the current set still good to very good capacity utilization in the steel tubes industry decline however, there is reason to believe that the global auto industry will continue to grow in 2013, German manufacturers will be able to compensate stagnation in the European market in other areas.
In Europe, the trend will continue to decline this year thanks to sales increases, especially in China and the US, German manufacturers should, however, resist the crisis without too much damage, and continue to gain share of market in the states in all, the Handelsblatt citing an economic consultants Ernst expert Young Frank Harms also sees no reason to doom for their industry We expect to continue to benefit from the stable position of German manufacturers in particular on export markets.
