Feb 28 (Reuters) - Car parts supplier Forvia

said on Friday it sees sales in 2025 slightly above or slightly

below last year's level, reflecting a downturn in automotive

demand dragging into the new year.

The France-based company said in its annual earnings report

that it sees sales between 26.3 billion euros and 27.5 billion

euros ($27.32 billion and $28.56 billion) in 2025 compared to

the 26.97 billion euros it reported for 2024.

The outlook is based on the estimated worldwide

automotive production of 89.5 million vehicles this year, Forvia

said, and takes into account U.S. tariffs that are already

enforced.

Analysts polled by LSEG were expecting 27.74 billion euros

in sales in 2025.
