Global Automotive Market Trends
The global automobile manufacturing sector is one of the largest industries worldwide and has been growing over the past many years. The global automobile market was valued at $2.73 trillion in the year 2021. Among automobiles, passenger cars are the most popular in most countries. In 2022, the global passenger car market was valued at a whopping $1.66 trillion, with an expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1% from 2023 to 2030. At this growth rate, the market is projected to reach an impressive valuation of $2.67 trillion by 2030.
The automobile industry has a close link to the economy and even acts as one of the barometers for a country’s economic health. The rising per capita income and growing population are some of the factors that have led to increased demand for cars around the world, especially in developed countries. However, the expected growth in sales is not very promising given the poor economic conditions globally, especially in the US and China.
Fitch Ratings has predicted a 4% increase in global sales and production in 2024. As discussed earlier, the main reasons for a low growth rate are slower economic growth and higher interest rates that are expected to impact overall vehicle demand in 2024. However, pent-up consumer demand is going to drive the demand for the next year. S&P Global Mobility has predicted that 88.3 million new vehicles will be sold globally in 2024. With these sale units, a 2.8% year-over-year increase in global new light vehicle sales is expected.
Against the global landscape, the United States stands as one of the largest automotive markets in the world. Almost 15.5 million new light vehicles were sold in the US in the year 2023 while the number of used vehicles sold stood at approximately 40 million. With 278,870,463 vehicles registered in the country as of 2022, almost 92% of households in the US owned at least one vehicle with vehicles per household averaging at 1.9.
