Glasgow Research & Consulting recently showcased its expertise at two industry events for leaders in the automotive and transport & logistics sectors.
At the Truck & Fleet Middle East Conference, Vishal Pandey, a partner at UAE-based Glasgow Research & Consulting, delivered a keynote presentation, sharing industry insights and key takeaways from new research the boutique released in the run-up to the event.
During his keynote, Pandey walked visitors through the current state of the automotive market in the region, and some of the key drivers of growth for the coming years.
The commercial vehicles segment is one area where strong growth is anticipated, with demand in 2026 forecasted to be 30% higher than the current level. “The majority of the demand will be for mid-level and high-end commercial vehicles,” said Pandey during his keynote, earmarking sectors such as construction, trade, and manufacturing as best positioned to lift demand.
Meanwhile, at the Automechanika Sustainability Event, Pandey delivered a presentation and was part of an expert panel that spoke about the future of automotive and the impact of sustainability. Together with the other panelists, Pandey discussed and analysed how the automotive and aftermarket industry is stepping up sustainability efforts both from a business and environmental standpoint.
Key takeaways of the discussion included: Sustainability has risen to the top of the agenda for players in the industry; much attention is going to the development of electrical vehicles and its related infrastructure; sustainability can be achieved only through collaborative efforts of the entire automotive value chain.
