April's Trends To Watch 2024

This month, we've consulted our expert analysts in Connectivity, Batteries & E-Powertrains and Software-Defined Vehicles to uncover the essential trends you need to know.

The following is a brief overview of these trends. But don't worry, over the coming weeks we'll delve deeper into each topic, offering insights to keep you ahead of the curve.

Connectivity

In the dynamic autotech space, cloud connectivity is converging with the software defined vehicle and together they are emerging as a transformative force in the industry, driving innovation and reshaping the future of mobility. We see four challenges as a result:

Demonstrating the value of connected-vehicle services to consumers
Exploiting the vehicle's transformation into intelligent, interconnected entities
Converging connectivity and vehicle systems
Keeping up with the transformative wave of technological advancements

EV Batteries

In 2024, the electric vehicle (EV) battery sector is witnessing pivotal changes. From cost-efficient cathode designs to the ascent of sodium-based batteries and streamlined manufacturing processes, the industry is evolving rapidly. Here's what to watch for:

Lower cost cathode designs
Sodium's increasing market share
Better anode designs
Dry cathode / anode manufacturing
The impact of China's wobbly economy
The challenges faced by legacy OEMs

Software-Defined Vehicles

The software-defined vehicle (SDV) has become a widely discussed concept, however there remains ambiguity surrounding its precise definition. So, what exactly constitutes SDVs? There are three main categories of elements:

Data management and analysis capabilities
Technologies, practices, and tools for software development
Implementation of cloud-native tools
