The Changing Industrial Landscape: Emerging Global Champions |
The global industrial landscape is constantly evolving as unexpected challenges and new global opportunities emerge. Serious economic downturns are often pivotal points in both global economic development and industrial leadership. The 2001 recession saw the burst of the dotcom and IT bubble while the property and energy sectors began to climb in importance.
In the 1980s, the collapse of the oil prices resulted in a decline of the sector while the automotive industry effectively embarked on a path of globalization. Looking forward, which industries are likely to thrive and which countries are likely to provide the soil for the growth of these sectors?
To tackle these questions, Chatham House is currently conducting a multi-year project to examine the possible development of global industry trends over the next decade, aiming to identify the potential changes that may occur as the world economy picks up from the current downturn. The research agenda will be driven the following questions:
- Which countries and regions provide the current global leaders in each of the main sectors? How does the current crisis affect future competitive advantages of different economies?
- What can regions do to best position themselves in the changing climate and take advantage of the next generation of opportunities and technology?
- Is there potential for greater cooperation and synergies between the US, EU, China and Japan, particularly in politically important sectors such as energy, transport and sharing of technology and R&D?
