Automotive

However, the entire industry and its suppliers are facing serious changes. Technological developments (e.g. car-sharing services, electromobility, connectivity, artificial intelligence and autonomous driving) challenge existing strategic orientations and business models. At the same time, international pressure (especially from the USA and China) is increasing and it is becoming more difficult to defend the pioneering role. In addition, new environmental regulations and trade barriers as well as sanctions are creating uncertain future scenarios. The local research and development departments must stand their ground against the impulses from the Asian region and Silicon Valley in order to remain at the forefront of the world in the future. The reputation of the German automotive industry has also suffered greatly in recent years. Manufacturers must therefore win back lost customer confidence in order to remain competitive. In the long term, top positions can only be maintained through cooperation with other global manufacturers. In addition, any supplier who wants to  succeed in the automotive industry in the long run will inevitably have to purchase additional know-how and technologies. This and the increasing merging with information technology therefore opens up many opportunities for mergers and acquisitions.
