The US auto industry imports over $200B in vehicles and parts annually. Track OEM suppliers, Tier 1 parts manufacturers, and aftermarket importers using public CBP manifest data.
Auto parts is a high-frequency, time-sensitive category — especially for JIT supply chains. Identify Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers importing to US assembly plants and build relationships before their next RFP.
Track which aftermarket parts importers are growing their US operations. Find importers you're not currently selling to and understand their supplier relationships before making your pitch.
Monitor which OEM suppliers are gaining or losing volume with major automakers. Supply chain shifts in automotive happen fast — manifest data gives you a real-time signal.
