APMA Industry Tracker™

APMA has undertaken an ambitious initiative to help increase member company exposure, to see and be seen globally utilizing the latest internet and electronic tools available.  This initiative will also provide industry members with a one-stop location for every piece of automotive data a supplier might require in their day-to-day business.  This new product and service being offered by APMA is called the APMA Industry Tracker™, which was unveiled to the industry at large at our Annual Conference & Exhibition in June 2011 and in our association magazine, Lead Reach and Connect.

The Data

The Sales section of the Industry Tracker™ provides comprehensive historic sales and inventory analysis information for the NAFTA regions. The Production section features historic industry production by country, OEM, platform, plant, and segment, and also includes production information for medium and heavy-duty trucks. Finally, from a production perspective, comprehensive production change reports are provided on both a monthly and annual basis.  The tracking reports provide detail for year-over-year change, lagging three-month and six-month comparisons, calendar year-to-date figures.

The Economic Data section provides a wide range of economic indicators that are of significant use to automotive suppliers. This data includes import and export trade statistics, consumer price index, and price changes for key commodities such as oil, steel, copper, and aluminum. It also tracks consumer confidence and other factors that help you to get a better understanding of where the automotive industry within NAFTA is headed. As with production, a historic change analysis is also provided. 

APMA also distributes key intelligence information and presentations, such as the current "State of the Auto Industry" presentation, through the Industry Tracker™.

Member Directory

Part of this new product offering will feature an online searchable Strategic Company Profile Directory containing APMA member corporate profiles, contact information, product/service offerings and capabilities.  This Directory will replace the traditional hard copy directory that APMA has produced in the past.  The content of your Strategic Company Profile is displayed in the Industry Tracker™ and made available to potential customers throughout the industry's supply chain (vehicle assemblers, Tier levels, research organizations and other industry suppliers).  APMA also makes this information globally available to Canadian Embassies and Consulates, Federal and Provincial Trade Offices, foreign trade organizations, international associations and at international events APMA is affiliated with to ensure the broadest possible reach.
