Automotive

The race for market share

Enormous opportunities await as it's anticipated that 80% of global car sales will be EVs by 2050. This translates to 2.1 billion cars on the roads, with 30% being EVs.

By 2030, a projected 84 million EVs will be in Europe alone, providing substantial growth prospects for automakers. However, the competition for leadership in this revolution remains open, presenting both opportunities and challenges.

A time to invest in brands

Times of significant change offer the potential for high returns on investment. Beyond investing in new technologies like software, battery tech, and charging infrastructure, the pivotal investment in brand development is crucial.

For incumbents, it's a chance to revitalize their brand in the EV market. New entrants have a golden opportunity to introduce themselves to customers open to new options.

Empowering EV consumers

Succeeding in the EV market demands automakers to truly understand consumer needs, foster brand awareness, and cultivate customer loyalty.

As the transition to electric vehicles gains momentum in the mass market, it introduces heightened complexity for customers. This landscape is defined by a surge in new brands to choose from, new unique selling points to consider, and innovative ownership models.

Join the winners in the race

We firmly believe that this is the right moment to establish a foothold in the EV market. Historical trends support this perspective.

In the early 1920s, the introduction of petrol cars saw a multitude of brands, but as the market transitioned to mass adoption, only a select few brands successfully scaled and endured.

Similarly, the current surge in new brands entering the EV market echoes this historical pattern. As the EV market matures, we anticipate a consolidation, mirroring the historical trend, with a reduction in the number of brands.

The Chinese EV companies have great products, high ambitions and a rapid approach to everything they do – but they have yet to master how to build brands and claim a position to win.
