Intelligent Mobility, Japan, 2019

This research study focuses on providing all the presentations from Frost & Sullivan's two-day workshop event held in September 2019 in Tokyo, called Intelligent Mobility. These include presentations from Frost & Sullivan Indian team and a host of other companies such as Amazon Web Services, Connector, DHL, Murata Manufacturing Co, Navitime Japan, Next Logistics, Nissan, Otonomo, RideCell, and, Tech Mahindra. The focus of this entire workshop was on analyzing the new use cases, pricing and business models for new mobility solutions.

In recent years, we have witnessed the transformational change driven by the proliferation of platform-based business models and the ecosystems they enable, unlocking immense potential for competitive advantage and business benefits.

Frost & Sullivan believes that all traditional industries, including the Automotive and Transport sector, will capitalise on five key themes including market place, feature/ function on demand, IoT platforms in vehicles, digital assistant/ biometrics and data.

The rapid pace of digitalisation is transforming the component hardware-driven automotive sector to a software and solutions focused industry, accelerated by consumers' evolving digital lifestyle expectations and demands for new and innovative services. The future roadmap of digitalisation in the automotive sector is expected to move rapidly from "digital services" to "car-as-a-service" to "mobility-as-a-service", transforming the car into an element of a connected living solution by 2030.

Frost & Sullivan drills down into the future impact of digitalisation on the automotive sector and focuses on ways to leverage business model disruption and innovation to stay ahead of the curve.
