What changes for Assemblers (Vehicles and Metal Goods)?
The forecast starts from the national projection per occupational group and adds AI and robotics as separate layers. The band of -10% to +5% matters more than the midpoint. Robotics: Car plants such as Nissan Sunderland have worked with robots for decades and that is part of the trend; any extra acceleration depends on new investment in electric cars. (Expert estimate 6/10, effect to 2030 between 0% and −4%.)
