Not every supplier needs the same strategy. Technology leaders should invest and scale, protected locals run for cash, commoditised players reset cost, follow their customers into the new blocs or exit. Where does your business sit?

In all three of our scenarios, global car production in 2030 lands between 84 and 89 million. The total holds. What changes is who builds the cars: Europe’s share falls to as low as 14%. Which decisions hold up in every scenario?

Production is shifting, tariffs are redrawing trade flows and Chinese brands already hold around 7% of the European market. Our Global Automotive Outlook 2027 shows where the industry is heading and which decisions hold in every scenario.
