The latest research by consulting firm AlixPartners reveals that the global automotive industry is undergoing a dramatic transformation, with over 40% of auto industry executives concerned about job loss—a proportion significantly higher than the average across industries such as retail, media and entertainment, financial services, telecommunications, energy, technology, and consumer goods (28%). This anxiety stems from the ongoing pressures faced by the automotive industry. According to AlixPartners' '2026 AlixPartners Disruption Index' (which surveyed 3,200 CEOs and executives across 11 countries), the automotive industry has been the most severely impacted and transformed sector for two consecutive years.
