Eight trends for the 2030 Automotive revolution

The auto industry and experts agree that these four trends will reinforce and accelerate their impact on each other. At the same time, the car industry has matured enough to make disruptive change possible. While there is general agreement that disruptive changes affecting the entire industry are already on the horizon, there is no consensus on how these trends will affect the automotive industry over the next 10-15 years. To this end, we propose eight perspectives for the 2030 Automotive Revolution, which aims to predict the changes that will come to the automotive industry and their impact on traditional automakers and suppliers, potential new market players, regulators, consumers, markets and the industry value chain.

This study aims to make the upcoming changes seem more intuitive. Therefore, the predictions made in this study should be interpreted as possible guesses around four major trends based on our understanding. Of course these speculations are not definitive in nature, but by discussing potential futures, they should help industry participants better prepare for uncertainty.

Transfer market and revenue

While some commentators argue that the automotive industry is declining, our argument is that its growth is actually accelerating due to new revenue streams, including shared mobility, data connectivity (shared) services, and global macroeconomic growth as emerging economies continue to grow.
