3 | Mastering Engineering Service Outsourcing in the automotive industry 1. Executive summary The Engineering Service Outsourcing (ESO) market is growing steadily and offers flexibility and cost-saving potential for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Original Equipment Suppliers (OESs). While certain domains (e.g. body/interior) will not see major growth rates, powertrain and electronics/electric (E/E) are the fastest-growing segments for outsourcing. Both vehicle manufacturers and suppliers are facing increasing pressure on development costs and must leverage engineering outsourcing to benefit from gains in flexibility and efficiency. Emerging market players, in particular, provide the right assets, in terms of both a low-cost engineering workforce and the mastery of low-budget vehicle design concepts. Due to a steep learning curve, they are now increasingly advancing into the high-end segment, and also urging established market players to engage in low-cost engineering. We at Roland Berger have examined with a market survey amongst leading automotive managers major trends and successful business practices in engineering outsourcing. Based on our findings we have formulated comprehensive insights and recommendations for both, the OEM/OES as well as the Engineering Service Provider side.
