Automotive Industry in the United States of America

The value of the US automotive manufacturing industry is expected to grow in 2021, recovering from the sharp decline in production a year earlier due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The industry is set to follow a strong growth trajectory during the forecast period given that the macroeconomic environment will continue to improve. The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the automotive industry in 2020. Temporary shutdowns at manufacturing plants amid labour shortages and severe disruption in the supply chain - including a shortage of semiconductors - which persisted throughout the year, resulting in the decline of production.

Brand strength and reputation are highly important in the US automotive manufacturing industry. As such, it is difficult for new players to directly enter the industry, particularly given the dominance of incumbents such as Toyota and Honda. Due to the high fixed costs of design and manufacture, as well as the economies of scale gained from mass production, new start-up companies are rare as the capital requirements for a manufacturing facility of feasible scale are simply too high. Scale is vastly important within this industry as high financial is backing required for new entrants.

The production of electric vehicles is relatively easier than fuel-based engines, giving rise to a number of new entrants, although the capital requirements are still vast and incumbents are already diversifying into this segment. Players such as Volvo, General Motors, Aston Martin, and Jaguar Land Rover have all announced plans to switch over to manufacturing only electric or hybrid cars at some point within the coming decade.

Dealerships are proven to be the most vital buyer within this industry. From the ground level, three powerful forces are ruling the auto industry: shifts in consumer demand, expanded regulatory requirements for safety and fuel economy, and the increased availability of data and information. Consumers are once again rethinking the way they shop for automobiles, viewing cars more as a means for transportation than for anything else.
