We are experiencing an ever-changing landscape in our industry and take a fast-forward look to 2030.

Some of the contributing factors to the changing landscape are:

• A shortage of stock fuelled by the decreasing sales of new cars
• The increase of ticket values that has to be financed with limited capital – hence the growth of floorplans
• The way clients source their new purchases and new legislation as well as changes to old legislation.

I recently came across a riveting video presentation by McKinsey&Company titled, “2030 automotive revolution”.

It gives an overview of what we can expect up to 2030 and provides scenarios of the kind of changes that are coming and how they will affect traditional vehicle manufacturers and suppliers, potential new players, regulators, consumers, markets, and the automotive value chain.

This presentation makes for compelling viewing. Click here to view.
