Re: The US is the world's 2nd car producer - research reveals the state of automotive industry over the world
Hi there, I hope you are well. I just wanted to follow up on the below research I sent you last week to see if it was useful to you or if you had any feedback. The USA ranks second in top ten car producing countries, revealed in new research. The research by GoShorty <https://goshorty.co.uk/> looked at worldwide car production figures from previous years, the number of people employed in the automotive industry, and other factors. To reveal which countries produce the most and least commercial vehicles in the world. View the research in full here: https://goshorty.co.uk/blog/motoring-production-capitals/ The car building capitals of the world: Rank Country Cars Produced Commercial Vehicles Produced Total Produced (2021) 1 China 21,407,962 4,674,258 26,082,220 2 Usa 1,563,060 7,604,154 9,167,214 3 Japan 6,619,242 1,227,713 7,846,955 4 India 3,631,095 768,017 4,399,112 5 South Korea 3,162,727 299,677 3,462,404 6 Germany 3,096,165 212,527 3,308,692 7 Mexico 708,242 2,437,411 3,145,653 8 Brazil 1,707,851 540,402 2,248,253 9 Spain 1,662,174 435,959 2,098,133 10 Thailand 594,690 1,091,015 1,685,705 China produced the most cars and commercial vehicles, with a total of 26 million manufactured in 2021. China is well known for being the world’s biggest manufacturer of cars, and its domestic production is expected to reach 35 million vehicles by the year 2025. The United States produced the second-highest number of cars and commercial vehicles in 2021, with a total of 9.16 million vehicles manufactured. In December 2021, President Joe Biden imposed a new executive order that states that by 2035, all new light-duty vehicles sold in the US must be 100% all-electric vehicles, to help with climate change and air pollution issues in the country. Japan is the third biggest car manufacturing country in the world, with a total of 7.8 million cars and commercial vehicles produced in 2021. Automobile export remains the country’s most profitable industry and is a part of its recovery plan for the economic crisis of the pandemic. The countries with the highest increases in car production: Rank Country Cars Produced Commercial Vehicles Produced Total Produced (2021) Production Growth, % 1 Argentina 184,106 250,647 434,753 69% 2 Indonesia 889,756 232,211 1,121,967 63% 3 India 3,631,095 768,017 4,399,112 30% 4 Kazakhstan 80,679 11,738 92,417 24% 5 Morocco 338,339 64,668 403,007 23% 6 Thailand 594,690 1,091,015 1,685,705 18% 7 South Africa 239,267 259,820 499,087 12% 7 Brazil 1,707,851 540,402 2,248,253 12% 9 Portugal 229,221 60,733 289,954 10% 10 Austria 124,700 12,000 136,700 9% Argentina’s motor vehicle production was reported at 434,753 units in Dec 2021. This records an increase from the previous number of 257,187 units for Dec 2020. This year, Argentina’s Senate has approved a bill to promote the automotive industry. The initiative was spearheaded and supported by IndustriALL affiliates in the country. Indonesia had the second-highest increase in car production in 2021 compared to 2020, at an increase of 63%. As well as being the fourth most populous country in the world, Indonesia is one of the largest car-producing countries in the ASEAN region. India was the country that witnessed the third-highest increase in car production in 2021 compared to the previous year, at an increase of 30%. Although India’s change in variation in car manufacturing is substantially less than in Indonesia and Argentina, the automotive sector is benefiting from a host of improvements. These include global supply-chain rebalancing and government incentives to increase exports. Further findings: - Argentina saw the highest percentage increase in car manufacturing in 2021 compared to 2020, at a rate of 69%. - Egypt had the second lowest number of vehicles manufactured in 2021, with a total of 23,754 commercial vehicles and cars produced annually. - Slovenia had the biggest decrease in car production at -32%. - Slovakia has the highest share of automotive employment in Europe - it accounts for 16.2% of employment in the country.
