- “For 100 years, the automotive industry has been refining its processes around the Internal Combustion Engine. The historic pace of change for OEMs and suppliers will seem like a Sunday stroll compared to the simultaneous surge of disruptions it is facing beyond the current pandemic. C.A.S.E. initiatives – Connected, Autonomous, Shared Mobility and Electric – are turning cars into supercomputers on wheels. The impact is profound. The good news is that the overall size of the automotive market is increasing from 3.6T to 7.2T, a tsunami of change representing an opportunity as well as a threat.”

Challenges in the Auto Aftermarket Industry
- During this age of rapidly advancing technology, vehicles will no longer be differentiated by stylish design or powerful engines. Instead, they’ll be characterized by Advanced driver assistance systems, LiDAR sensors, Image-recognition systems, 5G communications, and Electric powertrains. New automotive winners will operate as technology companies, integrating best practices from both the high-tech and consumer industries.

Resiliency is about being agile and lean at the same time. By reducing costs, working capital reduction and cash flow preservation is key, especially since inflation is at a 40-year high. 55% of CEOs expect a significant rise in inflation over the next three years and hence 75% are increasing their supply chain initiatives year over year.
