What the Future Holds for Automotive Businesses
As per the recent market studies, more than 200 highly advanced and technologically updated cars are expected to hit the market within next two years. Here are some of the must-watch trends for the auto industry in terms of attracting more customers to buy their cars.
1. Appealing Exteriors
Most leading auto manufacturers do not care about the standard size parameters while designing their vehicles. Prestige, power and precision in design hold more importance than size and standard measurements. They are spending a lot more time and resources in getting the appearance right. Appearance of the car includes exterior looks, design, advanced lighting and eye-catching decorative elements, matte paints, black accents and elegant yet functional designs. The biggest challenge in these efforts is to watch out for the budget for profitable business in up-market regions.
2. Regional Competition
Another basic fact that becomes known with market research for automotive industry is the tough competition amongst the core car manufacturers and their geographical presence. According to the recent business research reports, China is dominating with greater manufacturing and distribution figures. However, China along with its other counterparts are facing numerous challenges in terms of revenue channels, saturated home markets and stagnancy in profit margins, lack of investments and least development possibilities. Regions including Japan, North America, China and South America are facing the aforementioned problems respectively.
3. Merger and Cooperation
Feasible business strategies, new investments, technological advancements to attract more sales and middle ground alliances could be the possible solutions. Straightforward mergers, project-related cooperation deals, exchange of shares and ideas are some basic steps that can save automobile industries from various geographical regions of the industry. However, getting greater combined sales volumes is the biggest target for these cooperation deals. Many mergers fail to attain them and end up only in achieving cost cutting.
4. Hard Kick Start
Industry research for automotive segments suggests that starting a new auto brand is a relatively harder task. New car-makers struggle to survive due to major economical hiccups and common selling propositions. Auto industry is going through the age of consolidations. Retaining and rebuilding the resources that you have is crucial in today’s times. Most leading automakers are following this law and seeking resort from engineering and technological marvels to create spectacular models out of their existing range of vehicles.
5. Sci-fi Machines
Vehicles with artificial intelligence like in sci-fi fiction are not a mere daydream anymore. Marketing research suggests that computerized vehicle mechanism, unmanned car driving and other intelligent technologies can always open new doors for investments, achievements and revenues. Apart from unmanned driving, brands are expected to start with technologies like radar systems, sonar and lidar technologies and cameras.
