Over the last 18 years, the car production industry has changed dramatically, China went from an underdog to the leader of the world, to Japan's reducing its output by 15% - but overall the USA was affected most by the rise of China.

With this in mind, Quote Zone examined the movements of ranking in market shares for 14 of the most productive countries between 2000 and 2018 and ranked the biggest winner and loser country in the car production world.

China Fights Its Way to the Top
