On Dec. 10, MichAuto unveiled its State of Automobility report during its State of Industry event, offering the latest insights into Michigan’s role in the global automotive landscape, including an analysis of the industry‘s strengths and weaknesses.
With Michigan’s signature industry undergoing rapid transformation, from tariffs and shifting fuel economy standards to the accelerated growth of global competitors, the message is clear: Michigan cannot expect to win the future of the industry through legacy alone.
In response, MichAuto has identified the forces of change shaping its future, identifying both weaknesses that threaten global leadership and strengths that reinforce it. From this, key steps have been outlined to maintain and strengthen the state’s position as a leader in automotive and mobility innovation and help businesses navigate the rapidly changing environment.
