A look at the developments shows that electromobility and digitization take a wide range. For example, Statista that the demand for electric cars in Europe slowed down in 2024. In the meantime, Chinese manufacturers like BYD are flourishing in their own market. As a result, companies such as Volkswagen and BMW lose market share, which is negatively reflected in sales and profit.

These technologies are the key to the future of the mobility industry and show that companies have to invest in new technologies in order to remain competitive. This is how the face of the automotive industry changes rapidly and remains exciting. The IAA Mobility 2025 will certainly be a guide for these developments.
