Instead, it helps compare established work that may support cash generation with newer, uncertain or faster-changing opportunities, including programmes linked to automation or electrified vehicle requirements.

Industrial customers can exert substantial buyer influence where volumes are concentrated, qualification requirements are demanding and procurement decisions compare capable suppliers. At the same time, specialist inputs, energy, labour, machine capacity and production know-how can affect supplier-side pressure.
