The Iran War, which began on February 28, 2026, with attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, has continued for over a month. Although a two-week ceasefire was agreed upon on April 7, tensions remain high. The impact of the worsening situation in the Middle East goes beyond just soaring energy prices. The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran and attacks on U.S. military bases and industrial facilities in GCC countries have led to: - Shortages and price increases of various resins, lubricants, and aluminum materials derived from naphtha - Logistical delays in finished vehicles and automotive parts As a result, there is a possibility that the global automotive industry may face significant production cuts due to rising prices and supply disruptions of automotive parts and materials. In response, Fourin will urgently hold a seminar titled "Impact of Escalating Middle East Situation on the Automotive Industry." Based on unique interviews with industry stakeholders, we will report on the effects on the automotive industry from both the procurement side (supply chain) and the supply side (value chain). This seminar will provide valuable insights into understanding the impact of the Middle East situation on your company and strategies to address it. *Due to the high confidentiality of the information, there will be no online or archived distribution. The capacity is limited to 60 participants (first-come, first-served), so please apply early.

For companies considering the Indian market as their next growth axis, understanding the realities of the passenger car new vehicle market and medium- to long-term forecasts is essential. The Indian passenger car new vehicle market (including sedans, hatchbacks, SUVs, MPVs, and light commercial vans) is expected to expand to 4.27 million units in 2024, a 4.2% increase from the previous year. Although the momentum slowed in 2025, the market continued to grow steadily, with 2.173 million units sold in the first half of the year, a 0.6% increase compared to the same period last year. Contributing factors include government deregulation, the expansion of the middle class, and increased use of auto loans. FOURIN has decided to publish a market analysis report titled "Analysis of the Indian Passenger Car Market and Outlook for 2035," which provides a detailed forecast of market size up to 2035, growth potential by major segments, and an outlook on power unit composition, including electric and alternative fuel vehicles, in anticipation of future growth in the Indian market. This report consolidates essential information for understanding industry trends and formulating business strategies, including long-term forecasts and growth driver analysis for the passenger car market. Additionally, the report includes options for Q&A sessions and presentation meetings with the author. Furthermore, it is available at a special pre-order price until its publication in February 2026. We encourage you to make your reservation early.
