Markets such as the European Union, United States or China have been key to automotive suppliers to find the way to recovery as well as the increasing diversification of commercial partners in the sector. A notable aspect of this analysis is that the goods commerce has grown in some economies reaching pre-pandemic-like levels. However, the current issues linked to the offer are creating tensions in the supply chain and affect the commercial workflow whose strong dynamism is based on the return of the demand both in developed and emerging economies”
