Automotive Components
Drive with Confidence
Like all other areas of the automotive industry, vehicle components manufacturers are increasingly affected by four primary megatrends – all of which raise new issues relating to quality
and safety.
Known collectively as ‘ACES’, these trends are:
-
Autonomous driving
The race to achieve true autonomous driving keeps accelerating, while the necessary
economics, regulations and technology fall into place. Market penetration rates for
autonomous cars (SAE level 4/5) may reach between 5% and 26% by 2039.
-
Connectivity
Artificial intelligence offers almost limitless possibilities, while connectivity-enabled
technologies are reaching mainstream application. By 2029, almost all cars in mature markets
are expected to include some form of connectivity.
-
Electrification
Momentum is building due to increasing regulatory pressure and accelerating technology
advancement. Anticipated market shares for EV cars in 2025 include 8%-20% in the US, 20%-
32% in Europe and 29%-47% in China.
-
Shared use
By 2025, the share of new vehicle sales for application in the field of new mobility (e.g. ride
hailing, car sharing) may range between 10% and 15% in the US and Europe, and up to 35% in
China.
