In terms of domestic sales development in 2021, abat is in 2nd place with 24.1%. This puts us well above the average of the companies represented in the ranking. In terms of total domestic sales to the automotive industry, abat is in 18th place, as in the previous year. Together, the top 25 automotive IT service providers in Germany grew by 9.6%, which is significantly more than the overall market for IT services at 3.8%.

And the forecasts for the 2022 financial year are also optimistic. Whereas the industry association Bitkom only expects an increase of 3.9 percent, the 21 companies in the ranking that provide forecasts are significantly higher. According to the Lünendonk study, rising spending on IT services can be interpreted as positive and a clear sign of the will to transform. At the same time, the automotive industry is faced with a plethora of tasks that must be mastered despite a simultaneous lack of internal IT expertise.
