Global Automotive & Mobility Market Insights, Growth Drivers, and Outlook, 2025

The global automotive & mobility industry is going through a major transformation due to the growing electric vehicle adoption, software-based vehicle designs, autonomous driving progress, changing mobility service evolution, enhanced safety, emission standards and supply chain restructuring. Moreover, the entire ecosystem of stakeholders including OEMs, tier-2 suppliers & service providers, and end-consumers is experiencing variations due to the industries’ seismic shift. Executives and investors need to grasp these market dynamics as they determine their ability to make strategic choices and allocate capital and maintain market leadership.

The global automotive industry generated trillions of dollars in revenue during 2024 due to its substantial economic value. The global market for electric vehicles continues to expand quickly because EV unit sales exceeded 17 million units while showing a significant annual growth rate. Additionally, the market generates substantial economic value through the combination of vehicle sales with software development, semiconductor manufacturing and mobility service delivery. The companies like Tesla, BYD, Volkswagen and Hyundai lead the market by expanding their EV manufacturing operations while building digital platforms, connected services and energy solutions to transform mobility into an interconnected system. The vehicle autonomy & connectivity infrastructure depends on AI, sensor technologies and power management technologies which semiconductor companies Nvidia, Infineon and NXP supply to the market.

Furthermore, the industry requires different strategic priorities which affect various stakeholders. The automotive industry faces a dual challenge as the manufacturers need to maintain their traditional production lines while developing electric vehicles and software-based models.

Additionally, the automotive industry requires suppliers to transition toward advanced technology components while mobility-platform operators search for new revenue streams through ride-sharing, fleet management and connected service offerings. The European CO2 emission limits and U.S. Inflation Reduction Act EV incentives drive companies to direct their investments toward specific market expansion plans.
