- Canadian Dollar—The recent strength of the Canadian dollar will erode profits for Canadian parts producers, as motor vehicle assemblers scale down auto exports in response to slowing U.S. demand.

- Expanded Customer Base—Diversification of auto parts manufacturers toward international clients will relieve dependence on the Big Three. However, the Big Three’s loss of U.S. market share dominance may prove problematic for smaller parts producers that rely on them.
