In 2023, some 94 million motor vehicles were produced worldwide. This figure translates into an increase of around 10 percent compared with the previous year. China, Japan, and Germany were among the largest producers of cars and commercial vehicles.

China leads production

China is ranked as the largest passenger car manufacturer in the world, having produced more than 26 million cars in 2023, and accounting for almost one third of the world’s passenger vehicle production. Over the past decades, China has emerged as one of the main growth markets for players in the global automobile industry.

American manufacturers in China

One of China’s largest car manufacturing companies is the joint venture between General Motors and SAIC Motor Corporation Limited, known as Shanghai General Motors Company Ltd or simply Shanghai GM. GM produces and sells passenger vehicles under the Chevrolet and Cadillac brands, among others. Aside from manufacturing cars, the company also produces engines and transmission systems. Shanghai GM’s production amounted to a little over 1.3 million units in 2021.

The U.S. auto industry sold nearly ************* cars in 2024. That year, total car and light truck sales were approximately ************ in the United States. U.S. vehicle sales peaked in 2016 at roughly ************ units. Pandemic impact The COVID-19 pandemic deeply impacted the U.S. automotive market, accelerating the global automotive semiconductor shortage and leading to a drop in demand during the first months of 2020. However, as demand rebounded, new vehicle supply could not keep up with the market. U.S. inventory-to-sales ratio dropped to its lowest point in February 2022, as Russia's war on Ukraine lead to gasoline price hikes. During that same period, inflation also impacted new and used car prices, pricing many U.S. consumers out of a market with increasingly lower car stocks. Focus on fuel economy The U.S. auto industry had one of its worst years in 1982 when customers were beginning to feel the effects of the 1973 oil crisis and the energy crisis of 1979. Since light trucks would often be considered less fuel-efficient, cars accounted for about ** percent of light vehicle sales back then. Thanks to improved fuel economy for light trucks and cheaper gas prices, this picture had completely changed in 2020. That year, prices for Brent oil dropped to just over ** U.S. dollars per barrel. The decline occurred in tandem with lower gasoline prices, which came to about **** U.S. dollars per gallon in 2020 - and cars only accounted for less than one-fourth of light vehicle sales that year. Four years on, prices are dropping again, after being the highest on record since 1990 in 2022.

Motor vehicle sales grew by some 11.9 percent worldwide between 2022 and 2023. Passenger vehicles increased by around 11.3 percent compared to the previous year when some 58.6 million cars were sold worldwide. The current state of the market In 2023, motor vehicle sales reached over 92.7 million units worldwide. China was the largest automobile market worldwide, making up close to 25.8 million of the new car registrations that same year. The United States and Europe ranked second and third, with light vehicle sales reaching approximately 15.5 million units in the U.S. market. The German-based Volkswagen Group and Japanese Toyota Motor were the global leading automakers, with revenues reaching around 348.6 and 311.9 billion U.S. dollars respectively as of May 2024. The path to recovery The automotive chip shortage led to around 11.3 million vehicles being cut from worldwide production in 2021, and forecasts estimate that these disruptions in the automotive supply chain will contribute to the removal of another seven million units from production in 2022. However, despite these challenges, the demand for passenger cars increased in 2021 and 2022, as car sales slowly started to increase. This is partly due to consumers' interest in electric vehicles. Autonomous,electrified, and battery electric vehicles are also forecast to gain popularity in the next decades. Electrified vehicles are projected to make up close to a quarter of car sales worldwide by 2025. By 2040, China is forecast to be one of the largest market for autonomous vehicle sales.

Tesla Inc.’s most recent quarterly vehicle production volume came to nearly ******* units. Tesla's production level in the first quarter of 2023 decreased by some **** percent quarter-on-quarter and by approximately **** percent year-on-year. Growth amid crisis It was anticipated that the coronavirus outbreak in China would affect the productivity of Tesla's Shanghai factory. However, Tesla's output reached almost ******* vehicles in the first two quarters of 2020. As the virus began to spread to the American continent, work at the U.S. factory in Fremont, California was stopped. The plant's reopening in May was met with criticism but contributed to the over ****** units that were produced in the second quarter of 2020. Tesla witnessed production growth in all subsequent quarters. The company's output level reached a new record in the fourth quarter of 2024. Leading the electric vehicle market Tesla produced over **** million vehicles in 2024, a *** percent decrease on the company's stellar 2023, which had been driven to a large extent by Model 3 and Model Y production and sales figures. The Tesla Model 3 was the world’s best-selling plug-in electric vehicle in 2020 and 2021. In 2024, it faced tough competition from other Tesla models, including the Model Y and the refreshed Model S Plaid, and came third in the bestseller ranking.

This Dataset contains information about world's motor vehicle production for selected countries. 1961-2021. Data from US Department of Transportation. Notes:

Prior to 2000, the country of manufacture was recognized as the producing country. To conform with current OICA (International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturers) practices, starting in 2000, the country of final assembly was recognized as the producing country. This explains the sudden change in trends across some countries from 1999 to 2000.

Numbers may not add to totals due to rounding. Also numbers may not add to totals due to the inclusion of small countries in the total.

Beginning in 1998, some smaller countries not listed in this table are included in the world totals.
