Light vehicle sales (passenger and light commercial) account for significant global automotive industry revenue. The global passenger vehicle sales were 57.5 million units in 2022, a 1.9% growth year-over-year. In 2022, China became the world's largest regional automobile market, with 23.6 million units sold; the United States came second with sales of 15.2 million units. Other major markets were Japan, Germany, India, and Brazil.
In 2023, the industry faces several challenges, such as the semiconductor shortage, rising inflation, and the Russo-Ukrainian War. Some positive industry signs are the growing popularity of electric vehicles and the Chinese market’s expansion. Government regulations, technological innovation, rising raw material costs, and consumer preferences are other vital factors.
This report analyzes the performance of global automotive OEMs in the light vehicle segment during the first half (H1) of 2023. It covers North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and South America. The sales of light vehicles in these regions for H1 2023 are analyzed and compared with the corresponding figures for 2022 and with Frost & Sullivan's yearly forecast. The report includes analyst perspectives on major H1 highlights and trends expected to boost H2 performances.
The challenges and opportunities of the global automotive industry in 2023 are just a few factors that will shape its future. It is a complex and constantly evolving industry, and the next few years will mark a significant change.
