The global automotive industry is steering through a period of significant change, influenced by shifting political and economic landscapes worldwide. A notable trend is the aging of the global population. As the number of elderly individuals rise, so do their specific needs when it comes to travel—there is a growing demand for vehicles that are safe, comfortable, and easy to use. On the flip side, young consumers are quickly becoming a major force in the automotive market. Their preferences starkly contrast with those of older buyers. Young drivers are all about customization, smart technology, and eco-friendliness. They’re drawn to cars with unique designs and interiors, cutting-edge tech for an intelligent ride, and solutions that make getting around a breeze. Particularly, young consumers are increasingly concerned about environmental issues, with higher standards for vehicle emissions and energy consumption. In essence, the automotive world is navigating two distinct consumer waves: one that values safety and ease of use, and another that prioritizes individuality, innovation, and sustainability.
Beyond evolving consumer preferences, the automotive industry has gained more development opportunities and possibilities with the development of intelligent technology. Leveraging advancements in artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, and other technologies, the industry is shifting gears from making conventional vehicles to creating intelligent mobile environments. The application of intelligent technology not only enhances the safety and comfort of vehicles but also provides consumers with more convenient and efficient travel experiences. The four new trends in the automotive industry—electrification, connectivity, smart tech integration and shared mobility are the main trends driving the industry’s development.
In the face of emerging challenges, major automotive companies are proactively seeking innovative solutions to navigate new obstacles and seize fresh opportunities. Against this backdrop, Chery has deepened its engagement in overseas markets, successfully aligning its development with the transformative trends of the global automotive industry and carving out a distinctive path towards internationalization.
