SECTORS

AUTOMOTIVE

The automotive industry is transitioning from "software-assisted hardware" to "software-defines-hardware", the development of smart network functions and after-market upgrade services (e.g. OTA) placing greater demands on the systemic digital capabilities of automotive companies.

The emergence of new car makers and automotive software companies is further pushing the automotive supply chain towards electronic hardware and software. On the other side, traditional manufacturers and their suppliers are embarking on software development related to strategic production (batteries, semiconductors, etc.) and intelligent mobility to remain competitive.

Market Trends and
Challenges

Carbon-free Society

Autonomous and Connected Transport

Connectivity & Data

Carbon-free Society

In order to meet the challenges of global warming, public health and reducing dependence of fossil energy resources, all mobility stakeholders are committed to hybrid, electric or fuel cell propulsion technologies. According to the BCG, electrified vehicles could account for 50% of the world market share by 2030.

Challenges

Reduce the cost of electric power components

Increase battery life and control battery supply

Deploy recharging infrastructures and reduce recharging time

Autonomous and Connected Transport

Artificial intelligence, the low cost of sensors and the development of new communications technologies (4G/5G, V2X…) have created a boom in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and self-driving vehicles.
AD (Autonomous Driving) systems offer new opportunities in the passenger and goods transport market, which is 5 times more important than the automotive market.

Challenges

Allow the autonomous driving algorithm to cover as many situations as possible

Prepare the individual for use based on a rethought ergonomics

Prioritize new services related to autonomous transport

Connectivity & Data

Collecting data will make it possible to develop new services (insurance, parking, etc.), optimize R&D and production costs based on actual use by car drivers, or even implement predictive maintenance.
The market for collecting and using vehicle data could reach 33 billion dollars in 2025 compared to 2 billion in 2017.

Challenges

Protect personal data and car manufacturer data

Exploit a large quantity of unstructured data

Innovate in distribution and services in the automotive sector
