Top Auto Supplier Bosch Sees Tough Markets Persisting Until 2027

Robert Bosch GmbH doesn’t expect to see significant improvement in its key markets until next year, adding to cost pressures that already triggered a wave of job cuts.

Unveiling its 2025 annual results Friday, privately-held Bosch said the world’s biggest automotive supplier won’t hit a 7% margin target until 2027 at the earliest because of sluggish demand and high costs. The maker of drivetrain components and power tools said early signs of a global economic slowdown this year are set to compound the impact of tariffs, raising price pressures.
