Worldwide car sales grew to around ** million automobiles in 2024, up from around **** million units in 2023. Throughout 2020 and 2021, the sector experienced a downward trend on the back of a slowing global economy, while COVID-19 and the Russian war on Ukraine contributed to shortages in the automotive semiconductor industry and further supply chain disruptions in 2022. Despite these challenges, 2023 and 2024 sales surpassed pre-pandemic levels and are forecast to keep rising through 2025. Covid-19 hits car demand It had been estimated pre-pandemic that international car sales were on track to reach ** million. While 2023 sales are still far away from that goal, this was the first year were car sales exceeded pre-pandemic values. The automotive market faced various challenges in 2023, including supply shortages, automotive layoffs, and strikes in North America. However, despite these hurdles, the North American market was among the fastest-growing regions in 2024, along with Eastern Europe and Asia, as auto sales in these regions increased year-on-year. Chinese market recovers After years of double-digit growth, China's economy began to lose steam in 2022, and recovery has been slow through 2023. China was the largest automobile market based on sales with around **** million units in 2023. However, monthly car sales in China were in free-fall in April 2022 partly due to shortages, fears over a looming recession, and the country grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic.

Global car and automobile manufacturers have faced numerous challenges over the past decade, given major exogenous shocks, shifting consumer preferences and supply chain disruptions. In particular, significant technological improvements, particularly regarding hybrid and electric vehicles, internal combustion engine fuel efficiency, infotainment development and autonomous driving capabilities, coupled with rising per capita disposable income, have spurred global demand from the growing global middle class. Additionally, strong economic recoveries in most developed and emerging nations following the pandemic have spurred climbing motorization rates and vehicle registrations. Overall, revenue has climbed at an expected CAGR of 1.0% to $2.9 trillion through the current period, including a 2.5% jump in 2025. Profit will climb to 4.7% at the end of the current period as hybrid and electric models perform better and input costs wane. Aluminum and steel are significant inputs for most automakers. Most input manufacturers cut production amid the pandemic, leaving automakers with supply chain shortages and long lead times, especially as automotive demand rebounded following the pandemic. Semiconductors and other integral electronic component manufacturers also failed to meet automaker's demand, exacerbating supply chain issues. Despite these issues, manufacturers have successfully pushed costs onto consumers, expanding profit. Even so, flourishing demand has enabled most automakers to begin recoveries. Many companies have also expressed greater supply chain oversight following disruptions, leading to more nearshoring, vertical integration and strategic partnerships and alliances. Even so, labor strikes, union demands and lingering economic uncertainty have contributed to volatility. Revenue for automakers will swell at an expected CAGR of 2.2% to $3.2 trillion through the outlook period as the industry rides climbing global per capita income and continued growth in developing economies. Global manufacturers will continue to invest heavily in technology and innovation, making waves with new electric and autonomous driving technologies. Companies will also lean on government support regarding electric and hybrid vehicle technology. Even so, tariff policies may restrict many facets of trade, preventing automakers from purchasing some foreign inputs or seamlessly accessing certain export markets.

Automobile engine and parts manufacturers produce gasoline and diesel-powered engines and parts. The industry primarily consists of vertically integrated automobile manufacturers and large companies providing engines that fill supplementary contracts for automakers and aftermarkets. Manufacturers are highly globalized, benefiting from international supply chains and global demand. Even so, volatile economic conditions, skyrocketing input costs, worker strikes and massive pressure from both foreign manufacturing powers and electric vehicles have slammed revenue and profit growth. However, falling rates, rebounding economic conditions and easing supply chains have created positive tailwinds. Overall, revenue for automobile engine and parts manufacturers has expanded at an expected CAGR of 1.2% to $42.2 billion through the current period, despite a 0.8% decline in 2025, where profit reached 3.1%. Increased environmental consciousness and high fuel prices have pushed consumers to reevaluate owning gasoline-powered cars. The federal government has also provided subsidies to electric vehicle producers and consumers purchasing EVs to facilitate the shift from fossil fuels. Gasoline-powered engine and parts manufacturers have prioritized more efficient engines to combat EV production and meet efficiency standards. Many companies have also automated to cut costs as substitute products squeeze revenue and profit opportunities. On the other hand, higher steel and aluminum prices pressured purchasing costs, though most manufacturers successfully leveraged globalized supply chains or vertical integration to remain profitable. The economy's recovery will also rejuvenate demand; consumers will have more disposable income to purchase new vehicles, get repairs and take road trips. Normalizing input costs will also enable profit growth while improving trade conditions will facilitate export growth and dampen import penetration. Even so, external competitors, namely electric vehicles and improved public transportation infrastructure, will remain major threats to sustained revenue growth. Overall, revenue will rebound at an estimated CAGR of 2.0% to $46.6 billion through the outlook period.

Automobile engine and part manufacturers are tethered to global car production, leaving companies vulnerable to a myriad of macroeconomic and political factors that impact the automotive sector in the aggregate, most notably the pandemic. Initial revenue declines stemmed from a reduced need for cars during stay-at-home orders, affecting sales of engines and components. Even so, as economies began to recover, manufacturers still suffered temporarily amid supply chain disruptions. As these disruptions wore off toward the end of the period, manufacturers have increasingly shifted their focus toward building more resilient domestic supply chains. Overall, revenue has pushed down at a CAGR of 3.2% through 2024, reaching $301.6 billion, including a slight 0.3% bump in 2024. While the need for traditional gas and diesel engines saw a drop because of the rise of electric and hybrid vehicles, manufacturers have simultaneously focused on innovations in emissions compliance and fuel efficiency. Countries like China have remained buoyant in domestic production, emphasizing manufacturing more affordable cars. This transition period has seen companies grappling with cost pressures while passing some of those costs onto consumers, who increasingly seek longer-lasting and more efficient engines. The push for greener alternatives has created both challenges and opportunities as manufacturers look to adapt and innovate to meet stringent environmental regulations. With the global middle class expanding, particularly in BRIC countries, the need for automobiles will climb, coupled with a notable uptick in the production of electric and hybrid vehicles. As technological advancements continue to improve battery efficiency and reduce costs, the electric vehicle market will likely gain momentum. Mature markets such as the US and Europe are expected to lead this charge, capitalizing on government incentives and consumer willingness to invest in greener options. As supply chains stabilize and manufacturers innovate to meet evolving consumer preferences, revenue is set to push up at a CAGR of 1.9% through 2029, reaching $332.1 billion.

Canadian car and automobile manufacturers have struggled, particularly as automakers move production abroad. High labour costs in Canada have encouraged foreign automakers to shift production to the United States and Mexico, highlighted by Toyota moving production of all passenger vehicles out of Canada. As a result, output has fallen from Canada's biggest car producers while remaining operations have increasingly focused on SUV and light truck production. Even so, pent-up demand for driving and travel has supported demand for new cars from consumers and commercial markets. This trend has partially offset declines from the pandemic. Overall, revenue has contracted at an expected CAGR of 2.2% to $15.5 billion through the current period, including a 3.0% jump in 2024, where profit will reach 1.4%. Aluminum and steel are significant inputs for most automakers. Most input manufacturers cut production amid the pandemic, leaving automakers with supply chain shortages and long lead times, especially as automotive demand rebounded following the pandemic. Semiconductors and other integral electronic component manufacturers also failed to meet automaker's demand, exacerbating supply chain issues, leading to longer lead times, rising prices and major shortages. Despite these issues, manufacturers have successfully pushed costs onto consumers, contributing to revenue growth in the latter half of the period. Even so, high costs have constrained profit, especially as Canadian manufacturers deal with climbing imports. Car and automobile manufacturers will continue to invest heavily in technology and innovation, creating new opportunities with innovative electric and autonomous driving technologies. Companies will also rely on government support regarding electric and hybrid vehicle technology. Strong economic conditions will also create opportunities for Canadian manufacturers; robust consumer confidence and disposable income growth will translate into steady new car sales. Even so, imports may capture the majority of new vehicle sales, mitigating growth opportunities. Revenue will rebound at an expected CAGR of 2.2% to $17.5 billion through the outlook period, where profit will reach 1.7%.
