Automotive Megatrends Report Overview

The Automotive Megatrends and Market Analysis report review developments in major automotive global markets with a particular emphasis on growth opportunities, and also considers the new forces or the ‘megatrends’, that are reshaping personal mobility and the industry that provides that. The report also gives consideration to the next wave of emerging markets.

Key Megatrends in the Automotive Industry

ADAS morphing into autonomous, connected cars and connected people, industrial consolidation, new business models proliferating, next-wave emerging markets, digital retail revolution, and the drive for greener cars are the key megatrends in the automotive industry.

ADAS morphs into autonomous: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) already employ technologies that herald a shift from traditional driver assistance toward totally autonomous control, such as radar scanners and cameras. As driving habits change and technology develops, human drivers will ultimately be replaced by safer and more reliable autonomous vehicles (AVs).

Connected cars and connected people: Personal connectivity has undergone a revolution following the proliferation of the smartphone and mobile internet. The effects are so significant that they are shaking up the transportation space and the way we spend time in cars. The pursuit of better road safety and seamless integration with our digital lifestyles means the connected car is fast becoming one of the hottest topics in technology.

Industrial consolidation: The pressures for consolidation in the automotive business are nothing new and reflect the desire for higher scale and the need to amortize large capital investments. It’s a mixed picture in terms of how successful consolidation has been. Competitive pressures in volume segments have led many to believe that only a handful of very large companies remain able to exploit vast scale economies. However, the continued survival of some smaller independent companies suggests volume segment OEMs can successfully stay in operation if they have a good handle on their markets, brand image, and profitability drivers.

New business models proliferate: The ‘urban transport space’ is becoming a battleground for disruptive business models seeking to carve out market share from traditional players. The speed of change is concerning many in the industry. New business models can emerge very quickly, aiming to revolutionize the driving experience, the customer experience or the car’s interior, and leave traditional players on the back foot. Other factors that will shape the future mobility industry are coming into play, such as the emergence of the ‘digital natives’ and the growth of the ‘sharing economy’.

Next-Wave Emerging Markets: A key trend is continuing urbanization and the growth of megacities. Economic forecasts point to an emerging ‘multi-polar world’ with a growing middle-class in developing countries driving global consumption up. Over the next ten years, a new wave of emerging markets with economic growth will create a new middle-class with considerable purchasing power. Attention will start to shift away from meeting rapid demand in places such as Beijing and Shanghai to a new constellation of rising megacities such as Jakarta, New Delhi, Johannesburg, Tehran and Lagos.

Key Companies in the Automotive Industry

Some of the key companies in the automotive industry are Apple, Baidu, Byton, Cruise Automation, Didi Chuxing, Evelozcity, Faraday Future, Fisker, JD, Karma, and Lucid.

Apple: It is a huge multinational company manufacturing consumer electronics, consumer software, and services. They have established worldwide operations including manufacturing and retail. Apple has never officially planned to build a car but is working on Project Titan for the automotive industry.

Baidu: It is an internet technology company and the largest search engine in China. Baidu also has expertise in the development of AI systems. It has launched the Apollo Project which is an open software platform for partners to develop their own autonomous driving systems. They attracted big-name partners including BMW and Daimler and has started production of the Apolong autonomous passenger bus.

Cruise Automation: It is one of the leading developers of autonomous vehicles. It has been testing a fleet of autonomous Chevrolet Bolts uand is readying an autonomous ride-sharing program. Cruise is considered to be more safety-conscious than some rivals, but its caution could slow some of its development work. Cruise’s strengths are in autonomous driving which also requires expertise in connected vehicles.

GlobalData is very customer orientated, with a high degree of personalised services, which benefits everyday use. The highly detailed project intelligence and forecast reports can be utilised across multiple departments and workflow scopes, from operational to strategic level, and often support strategic decisions. GlobalData Analytics and visualisation solutions has contributed positively when preparing management presentations and strategic papers.”

Business Intelligence & Marketing Manager, SAL Heavy Lift

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
