Overview
Manufacturing an advantage
The global recession has taken its toll on the manufacturing sector with the automotive industry hit particularly badly by reduced demand. At the same time, the rise of the lower cost markets manufacturing industries, for example China and India, are increasing the competitive challenges for UK firms and adding to the pressures under which they must operate. It's getting tougher to do business successfully at a time when customers themselves are getting more demanding and more sophisticated in their requirements. Capgemini is able to assist UK organisations to compete with the lower cost economies in this increasingly difficult global market.
