The modern automotive industry is notoriously high stakes and competitive. Though
many companies are emerging from this turbulent period leaner, more efficient, and
attuned to the realities of demand, much work remains to shore up key weaknesses.
Amidst this backdrop, automotive companies continue to pour billions into developing
products, building new factories, and researching new technologies - all for increasingly
uncertain returns. These returns are even more unpredictable in the current market
with new entrants, new powertrain technologies, and fluctuations in oil prices.
Vehicle Manufacturers and suppliers can no longer rely on domestic demand, political
backstops, or mature markets to deliver the required returns on investments.
The automotive industry is constantly rejuvenating. New players are entering. Emerging
markets are redefining the value chain. Revolutions in powertrain technologies are
demanding attention. Connecting the vehicle with its environment is opening up a
wealth of new opportunities. Around the world, as we rethink this dynamic industry,
Beacon is helping clients stay agile.
