HOUSTON, Texas – Plunkett Research, Ltd. announces an important market research and competitive analysis report, Plunkett’s Automobile Industry Almanac, 2020 edition. A complete market research report, including forecasts and market estimates, technologies analysis and developments at innovative firms.
The automobile industry surged ahead worldwide in recent years, with particularly sharp growth in the U.S. and China. Some of the biggest winners from this surge are Korean automakers with soaring global sales. However, trouble maybe on the horizon. Surveys show that many young adults have little interest in owning a car of their own. Also a possible source of concern for automakers is the combination of car sharing strategies, like ZipCar, ride sharing systems, like Uber, and autonomous vehicles capable of driving themselves, which will have very profound effects on automobile manufacturing, usage, sales and ownership patterns. At least in dense urban environments, the result is very likely to be a large proportion of individuals who opt to use shared vehicles rather than user-owned cars.
