Driving recovery, reinvention and resilience

Automotive industry: Navigating disruption with precision

The automotive industry is undergoing seismic transformation. Electrification, ESG mandates, technological upheaval and global supply-chain shocks are redefining how manufacturers, suppliers and investors operate.

With demand for internal combustion vehicles declining, margins tightening, and regulatory complexity increasing, strategic agility isn’t optional - it’s critical.

Challenges we help solve

  • Supply chain disruption and volatility: From semiconductor shortages to transport bottlenecks, global uncertainty continues to destabilise production and delivery.
  • Rising regulatory and ESG pressures: Emissions compliance, electrification deadlines and sustainability targets are forcing rapid rethinking of operating models.
  • Shifting consumer demand: Changing preferences, declining ICE interest and pressure from new entrants are eroding market predictability.
  • Capital strain and liquidity risk: Inflation, rising input costs and margin erosion are driving a wave of restructuring needs across the value chain.
  • Technological displacement: EVs, autonomous driving and digitisation demand massive investment - often before revenues can support the shift.
