Market Overview
Technological Innovations Make Volvo Future-Ready
Volvo's focus on futuristic solutions in terms of technology and safety has enabled it to set itself apart from the competition. Its agile corporate structure and autonomy within its parent organization, the Geely Holding Group, has facilitated external collaborations with automotive, electronics and telecommunications companies. These partnerships have stoked multiple advancements such as autonomous drive and electrification and enabled it to bring products quicker to market than its competitors.
Volvo's survival is linked to its market performance in China, its biggest market. However, the Chinese slowdown and decrease in oil prices is expected to scale down the market. The company can alleviate this challenge to some extent and boost its sales volume by, collaborating with Geely to quickly launch an entry-level premium vehicle. Additionally, its emphasis on forward-looking solutions such as autonomous drive, car-as-a-service and other convenience features will hold it in good stead. Likewise, Geely's goal to widen its global footprint can be achieved by optimizing Volvo's technology and brand presence.
Focusing on emerging markets such as India, the UAE and countries belonging to the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) in addition to North America, will aid Volvo in establishing itself as a premium global brand.
