We coined the acronym C.A.S.E. to describe the auto of the future: connected, autonomous, shared, and electrified. It is now a widely used term in the industry. Connectivity is extending consumers’ digital lives into their cars. Traditional OEMs and new entrants are investing billions in the race toward autonomous driving vehicles. The rise of shared mobility is changing the entire concept of car ownership and creating new business models. Meanwhile, emission regulations mean electric and hybrid vehicles could reach 25% of the market by 2025. Our global automotive and industrial team works hand-in-hand with management of OEMs, tier-one suppliers, and industrial products companies to compete in this environment. We help companies make the right consolidation moves, improve productivity and costs, optimize revenues and pricing, place the right bets on innovation, and implement changes that last.

2022 AlixPartners Global Automotive Outlook

According to the 2022 AlixPartners Global Automotive Outlook, full battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) will be 28% of the new-vehicle market worldwide by 2028 and the majority vehicle type by 2035, surpassing internal-combustion-engine (ICE) vehicles and hybrids combined. AlixPartners industry experts urge companies to prepare now for this monumental BEV transition, including by addressing rising materials costs and the upcoming supply-chain transition that will cost automakers and suppliers a combined $70 billion if not addressed proactively. Couple all that with ongoing supply constraints throughout the industry and investors clamoring for higher returns, and industry players at all levels have their work cut out for them like never before.
