Driving the Future: Quantitative Insights into the Automotive and Transportation Sector

The automotive and transportation industries are witnessing transformative growth, driven by electrification, automation, and digitalization. At Mobility Foresights, our market reports are backed by robust quantitative data, helping businesses navigate these dynamic changes. Here’s a look at the numbers defining this sector's growth and innovation.

Electrification on the Rise

The electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing exponential growth. According to Mobility Foresights, China produced over 26 million vehicles in 2023, accounting for more than 30% of global vehicle production. China’s focus on New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) is a major driver, with government incentives accelerating EV adoption. In Europe, electric vehicles represented 21.6% of total car sales in 2022, up from 10% in 2020, as stringent CO? regulations push automakers towards greener alternatives.

Advanced Components Driving Innovation

The rise of EVs and autonomous technologies is increasing the demand for sophisticated automotive components. The global Automotive Transaxle Market is projected to grow significantly due to investments in electric drivetrains and Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS). For instance, the U.S. automotive market, producing over 10 million vehicles annually, is seeing rapid investments in connected vehicle technologies and fuel-efficient systems.

Meanwhile, digital mapping technologies for autonomous vehicles are expected to surge, driven by the need for high-precision navigation systems. The global market for Automotive Digital Mapping is set to expand alongside increasing autonomous vehicle trials and smart infrastructure investments.

Supply Chain and Logistics Transformation

Automotive logistics are also evolving with the need for more resilient and efficient supply chains. In the U.S., the logistics industry is being reshaped by digital platforms and regional production hubs. Mexico briefly overtook Japan in 2020 as the top vehicle exporter to the U.S., with both countries maintaining shares of 23% and 22% respectively. Additionally, new agreements like the USMCA, which mandates 75% regional content for vehicles, are reinforcing North American automotive supply chains.

Sustainability in Manufacturing

Sustainability goals are reshaping manufacturing practices. For example, logistics giants like CEVA are committed to achieving low-carbon electricity use in all warehouses by 2025 and tripling their solar power capacity. In Europe, regulatory policies aim to achieve net-zero vehicle emissions by 2035, driving investments in battery production and eco-friendly components.

Future Outlook

With vehicle production volumes exceeding 90 million units globally in 2023, the automotive sector is poised for further growth. Investments in smart manufacturing, IoT integration, and AI-driven logistics are ensuring that the industry meets the demands for efficiency, connectivity, and sustainability.
