the PwC Study: production of cars in the UK will fall below 1 million

Audit and consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) came to the conclusion that by 2022 the production of cars in the UK may, under our worst-case scenario fall below the million mark. This will mean a drop in production by about 50% compared with the year 2016, which reached a record production volume of 1.81 million cars.

the Year of making key decisions 2019

It is expected that the decisive years will be 2018 and 2019. Because then the Brexit negotiations enter into their final phase. In the best case, in spite of Brexit, British manufacturers will retain unimpeded access to the European single market. This would mean that the originally planned new items will soon be launched in the series, but this production by 2020 will be in a weaker position because of the difficult economic situation. In this case, according to the optimistic plan is considered possible that in 2022 in the UK for the first time will produce more than two million cars.

The baseline scenario assumes that the British economy will no longer be allowed to freely export their products to the EU, but the automotive industry will receive special status. In this case, the automotive industry is probably still at some time will experience a slight decline before the beginning of 2020 production gradually stabiliziruemost at around 1.7 million cars.

In contrast, in the pessimistic scenario, "the fall" – the EU will give the UK preferential treatment under the rules of the world trade organization. In this case, PwC expects the British car industry will show a structural decline, which ultimately could lead to the fact that the number of cars produced on the island to fall by 2022 to below $ one million. This rapid decrease is due, in particular, with the fact that 75% of cars produced in the UK, have corresponding analogues produced in the EU and Turkey under the same or related brands.
