AUTOMOTIVE & INDUSTRIAL
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.
Press Release: Consumer interest in electric vehicles is approaching an inflection point, but the industry must address pricing and charging concerns
The AlixPartners 2021 Electric Vehicles Consumer Sentiment Survey
AlixPartners’ annual multi-country consumer survey points to both big opportunities and big challenges for the global automotive industry as it moves forward in its monumental transition to eco-friendly electric vehicles. This year’s survey—which polled licensed drivers in China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States (with California’s results also analyzed separately)—finds that “BEV Believers”, or those “very likely” to buy or lease a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) as their next car, have on average more than doubled from a similar survey AlixPartners fielded two years ago.

2020 AlixPartners Global Automotive Outlook: Mastering Uncertainty
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the auto industry faces a volume drop of up to 36 million units over the next three years, and a new-debt burden now total $72 billion, according to the 2020 AlixPartners Global Automotive Outlook: Mastering Uncertainty. All this comes on top of the demands of an industry preparing itself for a historic transformation away from traditional vehicles. Companies must "rapidly reduce" their breakeven points and be "microscopically selective" with capital allocation.

AlixPartners autonomous vehicle survey
Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent the future state of mobility. Once introduced, AVs have the potential to disrupt the automotive industry as we know it, with implications for automakers, suppliers, and other industry players. Although the technology has yet to be introduced to the mass market, the industry still needs to understand consumers’ current and potential future attitudes about AVs. To gauge these, AlixPartners surveyed more than 6,500 representative consumers in key markets around the globe about their interest, purchase intentions, and sentiments regarding AVs.
