Improved Outlook? French Manufacturing Competitiveness Radar /2015 Paris, March 2015
Roland Berger's manufacturing Competitiveness Radar We are proud to present you the third edition of our survey on French plants competitiveness. The role of manufacturing in advanced economies is changing. The current survey was conducted between September and November, involving more than 100 plant managers and representing a broad range of French industries. The survey captures prevailing trends on six topics: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Evolution of French manufacturing competitiveness since 2012 and its outlooks for 2015 Profit margin levels Typical profile of competitive and non competitive plants Keys levers to increase competitiveness Appropriation by French plant managers of Industry 4.0 Innovation 2
survey results are based on contributions from French plant managers across a wide scope of industries Number of respondents per industry Sample portrait Metal working and mineral products Agri-business & household equipment 14 17 Survey responses from more than 100 plants managers Process industries (wood, paper, glass, building) Chemistry & plastics Automotive & transportation Mechanical industry Pharmacy & perfumery Editing & printing Electric & electronic equipment and components Textile industry 1 4 4 5 8 9 9 11 100% of surveyed plants are based in France 18% are French subsidiaries of international firms 58% of surveyed plants have more than 250 FTEs, while 21% have less than 100 FTEs. 15% have more than 1,000 FTEs Most industry segments were covered by the analysis Source: Roland Berger Manufacturing Competitiveness Radar Survey 3
French plants' outlook is improving Product innovation as a key issue Limited progress in Industry 4.0 awareness To p e x e c u t i v e s u m m a r y 1. 2. 3. 77% of respondents consider themselves as competitive (vs. 78% in ), and 63% of respondents expect their competitiveness to improve in 2015 (vs. only 56% in ). Margin levels were stable in and outlooks for 2015 are positive. Smaller plants improved their competitiveness in although larger plants still are on average more competitive. The level of capital is not discriminatory between competitive and non competitive plants. Less competitive plants export less but are more exposed to international competition, a result already underlined by our past surveys. 4. 5. 6. Labor costs still poses the highest challenge to improve competitiveness, but to a more limited extent than in and 2012. Product innovation and R&D are other hot issues on which plant managers want to improve themselves. Mastering industrial processes and operational efficiency are even more important, but plant managers perception is that current performance is already satisfactory. Competitive plants still have limited awareness of Industry 4.0 concepts although some impact is expected from cyber-security, radio frequency identification, robotics and plants super-connections. Competitive plants innovate more and appear also more active on their product portfolio. Reflecting the increasing attention on product innovation, Marketing and R&D managers are getting more involved on portfolio reviews. 4
