The Joint Research Centre has released a report developed in collaboration with DG RTD to map and analyse the global industrial ecosystem contributing to Connected and Automated Mobility (CCAM), across services, suppliers, and enabling technologies.

The report presents a landscape analysis of the CCAM (level 3 and above) services, components and industrial players – drawing on data compiled in the CCAM Global Observatory (available in the CAD Knowledge Base) that was launched last week during the Transport Research Arena (TRA) conference.

The analysis covers 122 automated mobility services and maps 1,940 component–supplier pairs across 937 unique companies operating in 12 technology categories. The report examines the geographic distribution of service deployments, the composition and sourcing patterns of technology stacks, and the structure of the industrial ecosystem underpinning automated driving. A dedicated assessment of Europe’s position reveals that EU-based suppliers account for approximately 18% of all mapped component–supplier pairs and 165 unique companies, with relative strengths in connectivity, cybersecurity, and V2X communication, but notable gaps in software-intensive categories such as AI and planning, cloud infrastructure, and ADS development. The analysis further explores partnership networks among CCAM actors and provides an overview of technology maturity levels and market trends across key component domains.

The findings are intended to support evidence-based policymaking on the competitiveness and strategic autonomy of the European CCAM sector.
