The U.S. auto industry sold nearly three million cars in 2024. That year, total car and light truck sales were approximately 15.9 million in the United States. U.S. vehicle sales peaked in 2016 at roughly 17.5 million 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 77 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 40 U.S. dollars per barrel. The decline occurred in tandem with lower gasoline prices, which came to about 2.17 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.

Worldwide car sales grew to around 78 million automobiles in 2024, up from around 75.3 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 80 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.

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. By June of that same year, monthly sales in China were closer to those recorded in 2021.

Being one of the largest automotive sectors, India had over 326 million registered vehicles as of financial year 2020. It was the largest producer of two-wheelers across the globe in 2023. The market within the country was also dominated by this segment. In financial year 2024, over 17.97 million units of two-wheelers were sold domestically across the south Asian country. A decline in the sales volume of two-wheelers has been witnessed between 2020 and 2022. Hero MotoCorpHero MotoCorp had the maximum share in the two-wheeler segment in India. The company was the worldwide leader in two-wheeler manufacturing. The company has taken up the initiative of manufacturing electric scooters and bikes. To reduce the high battery costs that create a significant cost difference between the petrol and the battery variants, the Indian government has introduced the National Programme on Advanced Chemistry Cell (ACC) in 2022 to inventivize batery manufacturing. Two-wheeler market outlookThe Indian government has set a target to electrify a major proportion of the two-wheelers within the nation. However, the manufacturers have encouraged the government to adopt more ‘realistic’ expectations, as the former’s scheme would mean the electrification of over two million vehicles. With the two-wheeler industry estimated to grow at over nine percent in the next few years, more investments in the clean energy sector could pave a way for the domestic market.

How many Tesla vehicles were delivered in 2024? Tesla's vehicle deliveries in the fourth quarter of 2024 amounted to around 495,600 units.

July 2023 also recorded Tesla among the ten leading companies in the S&P 500 Index based on market capitalization, with a market cap around 880.8 billion U.S. dollars. However, Elon Musk's involvement with U.S. politics led to Tesla's share price dropping in early February 2025.

The Model 3 was Tesla’s successful attempt to tap into the mainstream segment.

The automobile sector across India saw recovering from the impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in the same year. Is the Indian automobile market in trouble? There were more than 326 million vehicles registered in India in the financial year 2020. Vehicle registrations grew at a compound annual growth rate of over 10 percent between 2017 and 2020. However, due to economic slowdown, the introduction of new Bharat Stage Emission Standards VI (BS-VI) in 2019, and the impact of the coronavirus pandemic, the domestic sales of vehicles have been declining since the financial year 2020 for two consecutive years. This continued until the financial year 2023. New trend – electric vehicles With strong government support through policy initiatives such as the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan 2020 introduced in 2013, Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of (Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) in 2015, and further FAME phase II in 2019, India was aiming to achieve 30 percent private electric vehicle ownership. As two-wheelers were the most popular types of automobiles for the last decade, in the financial year 2023, the majority of electric vehicles sold in India were also two-wheelers. The demand for electric vehicles is expected to rise significantly in the future.

Toyota is one of the largest automakers in the world, based on calendar year sales figures. The car manufacturer's closest rival is Germany’s Volkswagen Group. Go East While Japan accounts for Toyota's largest revenue share, other Asian countries have emerged as the automaker's third largest markets in terms of revenue. Many automotive manufacturers were turning to the Chinese market to offset moderate sales figures in more saturated markets. Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, Volkswagen, and Toyota all have entered partnerships with automobile manufacturing joint ventures in China, although Toyota’s vehicle sales in the world’s largest automobile market fade in comparison to Volkswagen's deliveries. Between January and December 2021, Volkswagen and its Shanghai joint venture were the fourth leading passenger vehicle manufacturer in China, while Toyota continued to struggle.
