However, this might turn out to be a short‑lived chapter in light of the simultaneous “Mighty Seven Industry Trends” – a perfect storm of transformative technologies and changing customer behavior – which challenge the core business pillars the industry is built on. As a consequence, the shape of automotive value creation is expected to simultaneously shift in three dimensions until 2030:
- horizontally between vehicle systems,
- vertically between industry players, and
- regionally.
Nine new business models expected to emerge
With shifting value pools across the field of vehicle components, nine new business models for auto suppliers are emerging, creating a need to re‑define their role and operating model in order to retain competitive. In parallel, both suppliers and vehicle manufacturers will have to foster holistic performance improvements to offset the needed investments and absorb other looming externalities.
