• Suppliers' growth is in line with OEM (Volvo AB and Scania 19%) and higher than Sweden (4% GDP growth)

• After the crisis year of 2009, increased volumes and efficiency improvements led to a much higher profit margin

• Despite the large increase in sales, the number of employees just increased 5 % which is an indication of improvement in productivity

Vehicle manufacturers - and heavy vehicles in particular - has acted as a growth engine for the industry

Compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2009 to 2011 grouped by "degree of industrial dependency"

Proportion of sales to the automotive industry (%)

CAGR (09-11)

(n=200)

• Suppliers with a large proportion of sales to the automotive industry have had the highest growth rate

• Manufacturers of heavy vehicles appear to have acted "growth locomotive". Increased demand from suppliers has fostered with great industry focus

• Suppliers that have spread risks and have a broader customer base does not have the same proportion with access to the industry's recovery. Conversely, the drop probably will not be so high at a possible slowdown
