Evolving customer demands and experience centricity are driving disruptive changes across the automotive engineering landscape. As the expectations around mobility change, so do some of the market dynamics, with newer trends such as a shift in propulsion technologies to hybrid and electric, a significant market for autonomous driving and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), predictive maintenance and other new services, and a technology-centric landscape.

These developments have fueled the need for a compelling ecosystem of partners, and engineering service providers are proactively enhancing their capabilities and offerings to help enterprises tackle the challenges in their automotive engineering journeys, stay relevant, and create experience-centric offerings for end consumers. This report assesses the spend dynamics of enterprises in the space, and the investments that engineering service providers are making in the Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Shared (ACES) mobility market.

Scope:

• Industry: automotive
• Geographic scope: global
• This study is based on RFI responses from service providers, interactions with their automotive engineering leadership, client reference checks, and an ongoing analysis of the engineering services market

Contents
