The automotive sector, being the most innovative sector depends on the collaborative behavior against customers' needs. Increased transportation costs, rising costs of production, and the hassle of finding a reliable transporting service has been impacting the automotive industry in recent times. This has increased pressure on companies to procure quality raw materials at the lowest prices to ensure sustainability.

At SpendEdge, we understand that the automotive industry is one of the most global, interrelated, and complex sectors. Therefore, we have identified three key procurement trends in the automotive industry.

Key Procurement Trends in the Automotive Industry

Organizations, therefore, have prepared themselves better to respond to the issue of supplier diversification and risk management. They have started adopting procurement trends such as supplier diversification to keep a close watch on the existing suppliers' financial situation.
