Against the background of this dynamic market development, we investigated the market situation and the key players in the market for charging inlets for electric vehicles such as Ampenol, Aptiv, Phoenix Contact, Mennekes and Avic Jonhon for a leading Tier1 supplier.

Electric drive axles are an essential component in many e-vehicles of the future. Numerous OEMs and suppliers are developing concepts in the field of e-axles, and market players such as Bosch and Continental expect a market worth billions in the foreseeable future. For our client, a component supplier for the axle sector, we investigated the market situation, the activities of the leading manufacturers as well as the competitive situation in the market from the perspective of our client.

E-delivery vehicles are electrically powered robots and small vehicles that deliver parcels or groceries to the customer's address fully automatically. A secured compartment containing the goods to be delivered can be unlocked using a smartphone. The aim of using delivery robots is to automate the "last mile". The market for delivery robots is currently in a pilot phase, with numerous providers experimenting with the electric delivery vehicles. For our client, a supplier in the field of sensor technology, we investigated the market for electric delivery robots. Due to the extensive use of sensor technology (ultrasound, IMU, lidar) and cameras, the market for electric delivery robots offers attractive market potential. Our market analysis showed the client the market opportunities and analyzed different market entry options.

What market opportunities does the future of autonomous, connected vehicles offer for suppliers outside the electronics and software sector? How will self-driving vehicles affect the overall market and the demand for certain vehicle components? How will service concepts and spare parts requirements change in the context of a "shared mobility" future? We were commissioned by a leading international automotive supplier to analyze the market and competitive perspective on this issue.

Our client, a leading global manufacturer of high-precision machining centers, has sophisticated production solutions for the mechanical machining of electric motor housings as they are increasingly used in all fields of e-mobility. For this purpose, the Swabian machine builder commissioned us with a structured global analysis of the manufacturer landscape of electric motor housings in e-vehicles.

Driven by strong growth in electric and hybrid cars, the global market for high-voltage connectors (Class 3-5) will reach around 92 million units in 2025 and approximately 148 million units in 2030. Against the backdrop of this attractive growth potential, we examined the activities of leading European OEMs and connector manufacturers such as TE, Rosenberger and Aptiv in the market analysis for high-voltage connectors.

MARKET FORECASTS FOR ELECTROMOBILITY

class="img-responsive

Market analyses on e-mobility and the future of alternative drives are currently booming. Will e-mobility make a breakthrough, and if so, when? This question is currently the subject of much discussion among automakers, suppliers and politicians. A look at various market analyses on electromobility reveals a very differentiated picture:

The market forecasts of the analysts at IHS Automotive, which are often used in the industry, see a market share of hybrid and fully electrified new vehicles of around 25 percent worldwide in 2025. Competing analyst firm LMC Automotive is more skeptical and sees the market share of these vehicles at only 11 to 12 percent in 2025.

In addition to all-electric vehicles (BEVs), hybrid powertrains (HEVs) are playing an increasingly important role in the market. Daimler, for example, has announced plans to offer up to 50 models as BEV and HEV variants by 2022, while VW plans to offer around 80 BEV and HEV models by 2025 in its strategy.
