The automotive industry is undergoing unprecedented change — driven by shifting global dynamics, breakthrough technologies, and evolving consumer behaviour. Join our experts as we present the 14th edition of the Automotive Disruption Radar, offering fresh insights that complement our long-term perspective from the Auto 2040 study.

In this session we will explore:

• China in pole position:
  With a significant leap in its ADR score from 44.2% (2023) to 54.6% (2024), China has firmly established itself as the global leader in automotive innovation — far ahead of countries like South Korea and the Netherlands. The industry is becoming increasingly polarized, with China setting the pace and Western OEMs under pressure to adapt.
• Autonomous tech accelerating: Technological progress in autonomous mobility is moving faster than consumer interest, driven by rising investments in AI and record levels of patent activity.
• A shift in electrification and mobility trends:
  While China continues to lead in EV adoption (sales climbing to 25%), key markets are seeing a slowdown in electrification and a return to private vehicle ownership over shared mobility options.
   

We’ll discuss the implications of these trends and what they mean for OEMs, suppliers, and mobility players worldwide.

Join us for this exclusive webinar to stay ahead of the disruptions shaping the future of the automotive industry.

We look forward to welcoming you to our virtual session.
