Automotive
The automotive industry is the world’s largest economic sector by revenue. And the uncertainty and risk in this global industry are never-ending. It faces uncertain times as the specter of a trade war between countries crucial to the global car market looms. Recent developments in the automotive industry such as the maturation of the sharing economy, the advent of connected cars, artificial intelligence, and automation in manufacturing and driving are fostering an evolution.
However, the automotive industry is possibly one of the very few industries that are thriving during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Guardian “UK car dealer sales rise as Covid drives people from public transport” reported a jump in new and used vehicle sales in July as buyers rushed to secure alternatives to public transport following the easing of the UK’s coronavirus lockdowns.
