The global automotive industry stands on the brink of unprecedented change due to the impact of eight discrete megatrends, according to a new report from just-auto, set to be published next month.
The report’s author, just-auto’s managing editor Dave Leggett, argues that a combination of factors – economic, demographic and technological – will reshape the industry over the next decade. The megatrends identified and assessed include urbanisation, the drive for greener vehicles, connectivity, ADAS and autonomous cars, and digital retail.

By GlobalDataSpeaking about the report, just-auto’s editor said: “Few industries are facing as much varied and complex change as the automotive industry. In this report I attempt to identify the most significant megatrends, and provide some practical recommendations on how to respond for both suppliers and OEMs”.
The emergence of new business models, including peer-to-peer car sharing, and on-demand mobility, popularly pioneered by Uber, is also explored. Consolidation, and the increase in opportunities in emerging economies round-off the list of megatrends discussed in the report.
The report will be available from just-auto in mid-February.
