The automotive industry is entering a new era. 🚗 It is in the midst of a transformation marathon: geopolitical shifts, technological advancements, and supply chain disruptions are reshaping the landscape. But where is the industry heading by 2040? We identified four key developments that will set the #PACE for the sector: ⚡#Polarization: The global market is fragmenting, with East and West drifting further apart.  🤖 #Automation: Autonomous vehicles and AI are revolutionizing everything from production to the driving experience.  📡#Connectivity: Connected cars are becoming part of the digital ecosystem, integrating transportation with data power.  🔋#Electrification: The shift to electric vehicles is gaining momentum, with BEVs set to dominate by 2040. The race is long, and players must PACE themselves to be successful. 💡 Ready to learn more?

#Davos is calling!   As every year, the World Economic Forum in January will serve as an important platform for world leaders to shape the global dialogue and find collaborative solutions to shared challenges.   The context for Davos 2025 is complex: geo-economic uncertainty, trade tensions, populism and climate change are intensifying. The policies of the new US administration, coupled with ongoing challenges in China, may signal the onset of a more mercantilist phase in the global economy.   However, amidst these challenges lies the potential for transformative technological advancements. The convergence of cutting-edge technologies – such as AI, quantum computing, and biotechnology – holds the promise of enhancing productivity and improving living standards.   Our team at Roland Berger is excited to contribute our expertise on how businesses can effectively navigate uncertainty and emerge stronger from disruptions and crises, ultimately fostering more resilient economies and societies.   Will you be in Davos this January?

As we approach 2025, global companies must navigate an increasingly complex economic landscape. The policies of the new US administration, combined with ongoing challenges in China, signal the beginning of a more mercantilist phase in the global economy – characterized by heightened trade disruptions and a renaissance of industrial policy. As China challenges the long-standing economic and technological dominance of Western economies, Western policymakers are reasserting the state's role in strengthening critical industries such as artificial intelligence, semiconductors, clean energy, and biotechnology. These sectors are not only essential for future economic growth but also crucial for maintaining strategic advantages. The resurgence of industrial policy and the recalibration of global trade requires businesses to rethink both their strategies and operations: ➡️ Vigilance: Closely monitor (geo-)political developments (tariffs, trade restrictions, industrial policies) to adapt proactively ➡️ Smart localization: Restructure value chains to integrate local production and assembly with specialized production hubs ➡️ Operational efficiency: Secure operational excellence and profitability through strategic workforce management, AI-driven transformation, maximized capital efficiency and optimized financing structures The World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting will serve as a key platform to explore new growth opportunities in this evolving economic landscape.
