In 2020, light vehicle sales worldwide declined by almost ** percent. By 2024, the market had increased well over pre-pandemic levels, despite supply chain issues, surges in automotive layoffs, and strikes in North America. In North America, around **** million light vehicles were sold in 2024. Light vehicle sales were to be around **** million units in the United States, North America's largest market, up from around **** million units one year earlier. Semiconductors Thrive Amidst the brewing tension brought forth due to the COVID-19 pandemic and global conflict, the semiconductor supply chain saw significant disruptions. Seemingly, one would expect that particular industry to have suffered greatly from such disruptions, but despite everything, global semiconductor industry revenue actually increased during 2020 and beyond, going from *** billion U.S. dollars in 2019 up to *** billion in 2022. In 2023, and even more so in 2024, the demand for semiconductors has surged, with companies like NVIDIA having nearly *** trillion U.S. dollars of market capitalization. Automotive Supply Global automotive suppliers, such as Bosch and Denso, suffered losses during the same period of instability in recent years, where the top 10 leading global automotive suppliers saw decreases in revenue from *** billion U.S. dollars in 2019 to *** billion dollars in 2020. These revenues bounced back in 2021 and beyond, reaching *** billion dollars in 2022. In particular, the earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) margins of nearly every automotive supply segment have bounced back from the reported disruptions; this includes original equipment manufacturers, and software suppliers.

Strong growth in developing economies, like the BRICS and ASEAN member nations, has driven revenue for global car dealers despite slowdowns in established economies, like North America and Europe. Developed economies focus largely on value-added car purchases, while emerging markets focus primarily on volume. The transition to SUVs and crossovers with more safety and entertainment features has driven growth; in particular, these models’ surging adoption rates have created numerous growth opportunities in developing economies. Even so, elevated interest rates across many key markets and mixed global consumer sentiment have somewhat constrained post‑pandemic growth. Overall, revenue has expanded at an expected CAGR of 2.2% to $4.3 trillion through the current period, including 1.8% growth in 2025, with profit supported by disciplined pricing and a balanced new‑used‑service mix. Supply chain disruptions lifted vehicle prices and inventory costs, and while semiconductor availability has improved, trim constraints and logistics volatility persist, moderating pricing power as incentives return. Dealers maintained revenue and profit by leaning on certified used, faster‑turning trims and transparent payment tools, while volatile oil markets reinforced demand for fuel‑efficient powertrains. Omnichannel capabilities—digital pricing, instant trade valuations, e‑signing and remote delivery—have reshaped sales, favoring scaled dealership groups over independents. Car dealers will continue to contend with substitutes, even as economic conditions improve and consumer sentiment rebounds through the outlook period. Government incentives and upstream innovations will also spur demand for electric and hybrid vehicles, generating strong per‑unit revenue from dealers, although hybrids are likely to outpace EVs where charging remains uncertain. Even so, slowing EV adoption rates in North America may dampen this segment’s growth potential. Consumer preferences will also continue to trend toward online vehicle shopping, which provides convenience and efficiency to busy consumers, creating greater competition with various online dealers and marketplaces. Overall, revenue is expected to climb at a CAGR of 1.7% to $4.7 trillion through 2030.

China is the world's largest automotive market: Chinese motorists purchased around **** million passenger cars in 2024. India was the second-largest market for passenger cars in Asia. Hit by the pandemic The global automotive industry was severely affected by the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. Seemingly led by pent-up demand for cars when lockdowns were lifted, vehicle sales in the U.S. and other large markets worldwide have been showing signs of improvement since the third quarter of 2020. However, this was not enough to offset a decline in global car sales by the end of 2020. According to the source, passenger cars are motor vehicles with at least four wheels, used for the transport of passengers, and comprising no more than eight seats in addition to the driver's seat. Global car sales declined overall in 2020. The global automotive semiconductor shortage further impacted vehicle inventory in 2021 and 2022, as supply chain disruptions led to **** million vehicles being removed from production worldwide. Short-range outlook Worldwide light vehicle sales are projected to increase by *** percent in 2025. Several factors could lead to a downturn in sales - among them, the potential tariffs on automotive products put in place by the Trump Administration in the United States, North America's largest car market. Additionally, the steady rise in autonomous and electric vehicle sales and related changes in the supply chain are likely to affect the industry in the next years.
