AUTOMOTIVE SNAPSHOT MARCH 2018
The automotive sector is currently undergoing massive transformations, on of the most important of which is the replacement of combustion engines with hybrid, electric powertrains.
Lightweight and electric vehicles that reduce emissions remain the strongest trends, but are accompanied by other interesting tendencies including big data and autonomous driving. Digitization or big data is a growing market and is estimated to reach USD 600 billion by 2030. Autonomous driving is a moon-shot project and is becoming an important purchase criteria. The number of new registered hybrid and electric vehicles is expected to increase by more than 75% in the three global markets in Europe, North America, and China.
Along with economic factors including the large cash reserves on balance sheets and private equity dry powder, technological developments and digitization are key drivers of the increase in M&A activity over the last twelve months.
Brexit is an ongoing topic for the automotive sector. The UK produced about 1.7 million cars in 2016 and the European export market is crucial as 57% of exports go to Europe. Expenditures will change in capex, R&D, and talent acquisition.
The market is growing. Further cost reduction while retaining a high quality is the challenge for all automotive companies in the future.
