The future of the automotive industry

06.01.20252 minuten leestijd

The automotive industry is among the most robotised and automated sectors of the economy. Companies in this industry are investing in innovative technologies to meet customer expectations, as well as to meet the requirements imposed by regulations. What trends will shape the automotive industry in the coming years?

Toward electromobility

According to the report ’The Future of Automotive Sales and Aftersales’, electromobility will be an increasingly strong trend in the coming years. Electric cars are expected to gradually displace traditional vehicles, also putting increasing pressure on prices and margins. The widespread adoption of electric propulsion is also expected to significantly reduce revenues from maintenance services and parts sales. Faster development towards electromobility is being forced by regulations.

Technologies of the future

In the next few years, opportunities to implement predictive maintenance, or predictive maintenance, will become more widely used. Predicting failures before they occur will protect key assets, optimise production, reduce maintenance costs and extend machine life. Effective predictive maintenance is necessary to create an

autonomous and automated production process. Also essential to autonomous vehicle production will be cobots (collaborative robots), which, properly programmed, will be able to perform some of the work that humans are currently responsible for. Equipped with artificial intelligence that analyses real-time data, they will be able to re-programme themselves to adapt to changes aimed at optimising production. The use of AI-implemented solutions will also allow for greater personalisation of manufactured cars in the future.

The next trend will be autonomous cars. According to IHS forecasts, 33 million such vehicles are expected to be sold in 2040. Strong interest in this technology is also confirmed by Lux Research analysts, who estimate that the autonomous car market will be worth $102 billion in 2030. All automotive giants are working on such solutions. Autonomous vehicles are expected to make roads safer and travellers more comfortable.

Innovative technologies are shaping the automotive industry. AI-based solutions will underpin the growth of companies. Autonomous vehicles, created through a fully automated manufacturing process, are the future of the automotive industry.
