GERMANY - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The German economy - the fifth largest economy in the world in PPP terms and Europe's largest - is a leading exporter of machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and household equipment and benefits from a highly skilled labor force. Like its Western European neighbors, Germany faces significant demographic challenges to sustained long-term growth. Low fertility rates and declining net immigration are increasing pressure on the country's social welfare system and necessitate structural reforms. Reforms launched by the government of Chancellor Gerhard SCHROEDER (1998-2005), deemed necessary to address chronically high unemployment and low average growth, contributed to strong growth in 2006 and 2007 and falling unemployment. These advances, as well as a government subsidized, reduced working hour scheme, help explain the relatively modest increase in unemployment during the 2008-09 recession - the deepest since World War II - and its decrease to 6.5% in 2012. GDP contracted 5.1% in 2009 but grew by 4.2% in 2010, and 3.0% in 2011, before dipping to 0.7% in 2012 - a reflection of low investment spending due to crisis-induced uncertainty and the decreased demand for German exports from recession-stricken periphery countries. Stimulus and stabilization efforts initiated in 2008 and 2009 and tax cuts introduced in Chancellor Angela MERKEL's second term increased Germany's total budget deficit - including federal, state, and municipal - to 4.1% in 2010, but slower spending and higher tax revenues reduced the deficit to 0.8% in 2011. In 2012 Germany reached a budget surplus of 0.1%. A constitutional amendment approved in 2009 limits the federal government to structural deficits of no more than 0.35% of GDP per annum as of 2016 though the target was already reached in 2012. By 2014, the federal government wants to balance its budget. Following the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced in May 2011 that eight of the country's 17 nuclear reactors would be shut down immediately and the remaining plants would close by 2022. Germany hopes to replace nuclear power with renewable energy. Before the shutdown of the eight reactors, Germany relied on nuclear power for 23% of its electricity generating capacity and 46% of its base-load electricity production

The agreement is subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities.Bernd Bohr, chairman of the automotive group of Bosch, said, "When it comes to electromobility, a market with great potential for the future, we have already made a successful start with diverse projects, and are driving forward many other developments. In restructuring our operations, we can respond better to our customers' requirements with respect to market focus and speed, and will continue to work all out to expand our market activities." In future collaboration with its former joint venture partner, steps have been taken to ensure that all development and supply agreements will be continued. In addition, the parties have agreed to grant each other access to patents. The entire battery systems business will be transferred to Bosch, including all components, such as the battery management system.

 

" Current investors involved in Heliatek's success are large industrial and financial companies, including BASF Venture Capital, Bosch, Innogy Venture Capital (RWE), and Wellington Partners. Dirk Nachtigal, managing director of BASF Venture Capital, said, "Organic photovoltaic is an important next generation technology for BASF. In order to fully exploit the potential of this innovative technology, our collaboration with partners like Heliatek is of strategic importance." Heliatek panels offer almost total freedom of design and to their diverse dimensions, colors, and transparencies. The ultra-thin and light-weight panels, weighing in at only 500 grams per sqm can be integrated into the widest range of applications.
 

In April 2013, the company introduced DINION starlight and FLEXIDOME starlight cameras that provide commendable performance.

aleo solar is also presenting its new hybrid module, which combines PV and solar heating.Sep 05, 2012Bosch To Develop And Produce Batteries For Hybrid And Electric VehiclesRobert Bosch GmbH (Bosch) will develop and produce batteries for hybrid and electric vehicles. In light of changing market structures, this will allow Bosch to make the best possible use of its own capabilities, as well as to develop them further. For this reason, the two parent companies of the SB LiMotive joint venture have agreed to reorganize their collaboration and future business relationship. The agreement is subject to the approval of the antitrust authorities.Bernd Bohr, chairman of the automotive group of Bosch, said, "When it comes to electromobility, a market with great potential for the future, we have already made a successful start with diverse projects, and are driving forward many other developments. In restructuring our operations, we can respond better to our customers' requirements with respect to market focus and speed, and will continue to work all out to expand our market activities.

Resource Management

 

Globalization, ever scarcer resources, and the internet will radically change the way markets operate. We see this primarily as an opportunity albeit against a faster paced, more complex, and less predictable backdrop. Particularly when it comes to projects that are important for the company’s future, we must focus on limiting risks and adjusting our strategy as necessary in other words, what we are currently doing in electromobility and photovoltaics. At the same time, we must continue to fine-tune our company’s organization as well as our leadership and work culture to keep in step with the rapid pace of change. Our aim is to achieve a dynamic organization with leaner structures and more efficient processes.

 

With rising competition in the industry, it becomes very important for a player to have a diversified geographical and product portfolio. Setting up new units or businesses generally is very expensive for the company and it takes some time to realize the gains from it. Instead, companies prefer the inorganic growth strategy of acquiring outstanding brands and expanding their business operations globally. To this end, in June 2013, through its subsidiary, Bosch Packaging Technology, the company signed an agreement to acquire the assets of Tecsor Machines et Systemes S.A.S. (Tecsor), based in Meyreuil near Marseille, France. This acquisition will help the company in adding to its activities in liquid foods.
 

Sales and Distribution

 

This acquisition will help the company in adding to its activities in liquid foods. Tecsor undertakes the development and sales of machinery for making and filling PET containers for liquid and paste-like foodstuffs. In March 2013, the company announced plans to acquire Bauer Optimierungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG, a software company that offers ventilation and air-conditioning control solutions mainly to the German market. In 2013, the company signed an agreement to acquire Astrim Energia S.r.l. (Astrim), an Italy-based energy service provider offering power generation and combined heat technology.

Overview

Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch) is one of the leading global suppliers of technology products and services. It provides a broad range of automotive and other consumer products. The company conducts its business through a network of more than 360 subsidiaries and regional companies in over 50 countries. Bosch’s focused research and development activities helped it in developing an extensive range of products and services. Nevertheless, it can capture growth opportunities through strategic investments and emerging markets. However, rising competition and growing counterfeit goods market could have an adverse effect on the company’s operational performance.

 

Strengths

Industry Awards and Recognition

Awards and recognition enhance the company’s market position, image and provide it growth opportunities in the future. Bosch received several industry awards in recognition of its high quality products and services in the automotive industry. In April 2013, the company received the BMW Supplier Innovation Award for outstanding partnership with BMW Group. Bosch received the award for its outstanding innovation and performance. In March 2013, the company was named the world’s most admired motor vehicle parts supplier by the U.S. business magazine Fortune. The company was ranked first on each of the nine reputation criteria for the motor vehicle parts industry. In early 2013, the company received the Global Contribution Award from Toyota Motor Corporation (Toyota) for the fourth time. This is the highest award given to its suppliers by Toyota. Bosch received the award for its quality, smooth launch management, communication, and cost optimization.

 

Broad Product Portfolio

A broad portfolio of products and services related to various industries and technologies enables the company to cater to a large customer base around the world. The company is one of the leading global suppliers of technology and services in the field of automotive technology, industrial technology and consumer goods and building technology. It has a strong portfolio of product and services. Through its Automotive Technology division, the company provides a wide range of products including gasoline systems, diesel systems, starter motors and generators, car multimedia, chassis systems control, chassis systems brakes, steering systems, automotive aftermarket and automotive electronics. The company is designing, developing, and manufacturing fuel injection technology for combustion engines, systems for active and passive vehicle safety, electrical machines and products for mobile communications and after market services. In Industrial Technology division, the company offers Packaging technology services for manufacturing and packaging processes; Drive and Control Technology solutions for power, control and actuator systems; and its Solar Energy division manufactures, and markets wafer-based mono- and polycrystalline silicon solar cells. The third division, Consumer Goods and Building Technology, of the company provides power tools, thermo-technology, security systems, and household appliances.

 

Research and Development Capabilities

Bosch has strong research and development (R&D) processes that enable it to come up with innovative products and solutions. The company’s R&D activities focus on optimizing the existing products and developing new technologies. Bosch has more than 250 partnerships with various universities, research institutes, and the industry. Over the last 20 years, the company invested over €50 billion in its research and development activities, including €4.8 billion in 2012 alone. The company’s major research sectors include energy storage and conversion, information technology and sensors, materials and production technology, and development methods and processes. The company employed approximately 42,800 individuals around the world in its R&D activities. Securing patent rights is important for the development of the company’s product portfolio. A strong patent portfolio creates market exclusivity for the company's products, providing a competitive advantage over its competitors. Bosch has a portfolio of over 90,000 active industrial property rights. In 2012, the company applied for around 4,800 patents (650 more than that in the previous year). Its work can be evaluated by the new patents the company registers every working day, which stands at around 19. The patents owned by the company are related to various technologies. In March 2013, the European Patent Office in Brussels ranked Bosch first for patents in Europe in 2012, with 838 patents granted to the company over the course of the year.

 

Weaknesses

Revenue Concentration

The dependence on European market limits Bosch’s growth prospects. For the fiscal year ended December 2012, Europe accounted for 56.76% of the company’s total revenue, followed by Asia Pacific with 22.27%, Americas with 19.17% and Other regions with 1.8%. Besides, Of the company’s 305,877 employees, 195,437 employees are from Europe. Moreover, Aaccording to the United Nations ‘World Economic Situation and Prospects 2013’ report, Europe is trapped in high unemployment, financial sector fragility, heightened sovereign risks, fiscal austerity and low growth. With existing policies and growth trends, it may take at least another five years for Europe to make up for the job losses caused by the Great Recession of 2008-2009. The economic woes in Europe are spilling over to developing countries through weaker demand for their exports and heightened volatility in capital flows and commodity prices. To this end, in 2012, the company’s sales were also dropped by 1.9% to €29.8 billion (2.4% after adjustment for exchange-rate effects).

 

Opportunities

Strategic Expansions

Growth plans help a company expand its operations in the market. In June 2013, the company started the construction of a new boiler production facility in Russia. The company will produce Bosch and Buderus branded industrial hot water and domestic heating boilers in the plant, starting in the first quarter of 2014. The plant is being built on the existing Bosch production site in Engels. The plant will produce more than 30 models of Buderus wallhung and Bosch gas boilers with a capacity of 18 kilowatts to 35 kilowatts for heating, and the plant will produce hot water. In March 2013, the group invested around €120m in new facilities in Nanjing, China. The facilities will manufacture brake pads, spark plugs, and testing equipment for workshops, mainly for customers in Asia Pacific. In 2012, the company spent around €3.2 billion as capital expenditure. It invested around €2 billion in European centers including €1.1 billion in Germany. It invested approximately €780m in Asia Pacific and €380m in the Americas. The focal points in North America were the expansion of production of gasoline direct injection systems for passenger cars and injection systems for commercial vehicles.

 

Increasing Demand for Fuel Efficient Vehicles

Fuel efficient vehicles, which feature advanced technologies such as hybrids, clean diesel engines, flexible-fuel ethanol vehicles and a turbocharged direct injection system could offer increased opportunities to the company. According to 'Annual Energy Outlook 2009' report by Energy Information Administration (US Government), the sale of unconventional vehicles (hybrid) would account for 63% of the total Light Duty Vehicles (LDV) sales. The total sale of hybrid vehicles is estimated to increase from 2.3% of new LDV sales in the year 2007 to 20.6%, and 39.6% by 2015 and 2030 respectively. It is also forecast that the number of hybrid vehicles sold could reach 7.9 million in 2030. Thus, with unconventional and hybrid vehicles becoming the mainstay in the future automobile market, the company could find huge opportunities to garner higher market share and increase its revenue.

 

Strategic Acquisitions

Strategic acquisitions offer a strong growth opportunity to the company, especially while foraying into new markets or launching new products or services. With rising competition in the industry, it becomes very important for a player to have a diversified geographical and product portfolio. Setting up new units or businesses generally is very expensive for the company and it takes some time to realize the gains from it. Instead, companies prefer the inorganic growth strategy of acquiring outstanding brands and expanding their business operations globally. To this end, in June 2013, through its subsidiary, Bosch Packaging Technology, the company signed an agreement to acquire the assets of Tecsor Machines et Systemes S.A.S. (Tecsor), based in Meyreuil near Marseille, France. This acquisition will help the company in adding to its activities in liquid foods. Tecsor undertakes the development and sales of machinery for making and filling PET containers for liquid and paste-like foodstuffs. In March 2013, the company announced plans to acquire Bauer Optimierungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG, a software company that offers ventilation and air-conditioning control solutions mainly to the German market. In 2013, the company signed an agreement to acquire Astrim Energia S.r.l. (Astrim), an Italy-based energy service provider offering power generation and combined heat technology. Astrim is one of the ten largest energy service providers in Italy.

 

Threats

Changing Technological Trends

Bosch operates in various markets, which undergo rapid and significant changes due to the introduction of innovative technologies. The company must continuously design new products, update existing products and services and develop new technologies in order to meet the requirements of the market. It is a technology-based company, which provides innovative products and solutions to automotive and other industries globally. The company designs, develops, produces and provides support to its innovative products that incorporate advanced technologies. The company developed a number of breakthrough technologies in its areas of operations. But, it has to update these technologies with time that requires a significant commitment to research and development, which involves considerable financial resources and the efforts may not always result in success. Upon investing in these new technologies, the company’s sales and profits could suffer if they are not accepted in the marketplace as anticipated.

 

Growing Counterfeit Goods Market

The market for counterfeit goods has been on the rise across industries and is affecting the sales and the image of branded products. Counterfeiting continues to be a major issue in the automotive parts industry. According to US Federal Trade Commission, counterfeiting costs the global automotive parts industry $12 billion a year. The parts that tend to be counterfeited mostly include brake pads, spark plugs, and various types of filters. Both the Motor and Equipment Manufacturers Association (MEMA) and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) claim the majority of counterfeit parts are made in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia, India, Pakistan, and Uruguay. Counterfeiting in automotive parts not only affects the jobs prospects, financial health of legitimate companies and increases costs related to warranty claims, investigations, but also jeopardizes public safety, tarnishes brand names. Thus, the company is prone to these challenges and counterfeits will affect the company’s fortunes.

 

Growing Competitive Market

The company could be impacted by the growing competition in the market. With rising competition, the automotive industry has been undergoing consolidation wherein the smaller entities are being acquired by or merged with major players. To survive and succeed in a stiff competitive environment, it becomes very important for the company to distinguish its product and service offerings through a clear and unique value proposition. The company faces firm competition from players such as Johnson Controls, Inc., Visteon Corporation, Magna International Inc., Magneti Marelli Holding SpA, Delphi Corporation, Federal-Mogul Corporation, Denso Corporation, Continental AG and other international and regional players. Rising competition could force the company to reduce its prices, which may adversely affect its margins.

Peugeot SA and Robert Bosch GmbH Reveal Two New Functions for Vehicle Range and Safety

Oct 24, 2013


Peugeot SA and Robert Bosch GmbH announced that they, along with other partners, are cooperating on the OpEneR (Optimal Energy Consumption and Recovery) research programme, designed to improve the range of future hybrid and electric vehicles and optimise driver safety and comfort. Two new technologies developed for the OpEneR project will be available for all types of motors (gasoline, diesel, hybrid and electric). These are navigation data for an extended vision of the road and 15% energy savings and on-board video camera and radars to optimise vehicle safety and comfort. In addition to its two new products, OpEneR enables the driver to reduce energy consumption, either by coasting, or by means of braking energy recovery for hybrid and electric vehicles. To date, more than 15,000 km of intensive testing have been carried out in real driving conditions and on varied road profiles, with consumption down by between 10% and 15%. The two partners have thus developed three technological products: an electric drive train based on 2 electric motors, offering 4-wheel drive with zero CO2 emissions; the new generation Stop & Start for coasting; ESP hev braking for energy recovery at braking and battery recharging, accompanied by the iBooster which can amplify the vacuum braking force.

Siemens AG, Robert Bosch GmbH JV Recall Five Million Dishwashers On Risk Of Fire-Reuters

Sep 05, 2013


Reuters reported that A joint venture (JV) of Siemens AG and Robert Bosch GmbH is recalling five million dishwashers worldwide, having discovered that a faulty electrical part poses a fire hazard. There have been problems with the dishwashers, branded Bosch, Siemens, Neff, Constructa and Junker+Ruh, overheating for years already, but they had so far been assumed to be caused by issues related to local power grids, a spokeswoman for the joint venture, BSH Bosch und Siemens Hausgeraete, said. The incidents occurred in Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and Ireland, and BSH for the first time recalled dishwashers in the United States in 2009, she said. Bosch and Siemens hold equal shares in the joint venture.

Peugeot SA and Robert Bosch GmbH Are Premiering OpEneR, A Research Project Designed to Increase the Range of Hybrid and Electric Vehicles

Jul 03, 2013


Peugeot SA (PSA Peugeot Citroen) announced that, alongside Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), it is premiering its Optimal Energy Consumption and Recovery solution (OpEneR), a research project designed to increase the range of future hybrid and electric vehicles by optimising energy management. OpEneR allows drivers to reduce their fuel consumption through either freewheeling or regenerative braking for hybrids and EVs. With OpEneR, the partners have designed three technologies. The first is an electric powertrain based on two e-machines that deliver four-wheel drive. This technological solution offers carbon-free driving enjoyment and allows motorists to choose between front or rear wheel drive depending on driving and road conditions. The second is a Stop & Start system that enables freewheeling. The third is the ESP electronic stability program that makes it possible to recover energy when braking and recharge the battery, along with the iBooster, which creates more vacuum-free brake pressure. To test and validate the project's performance, several thousand kilometres were driven using two prototypes built on a Peugeot 3008 platform.
