Vehicle industry in the United States of America post pandemic

The US car manufacturing industry has been declining in value and volume terms in recent years. The industry suffered a steep decline in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The industry looks set to recover in the forecast period. The US car manufacturing industry declined in value during the historic period, largely as a result of decreasing demand. This was particularly significant in 2017, after the country’s real GDP growth decelerated in 2016, the lowest since the financial crises of 2008/2009. Demand has also been affected by US end-buyers increasingly opting for larger nine-seater SUV’s. Declining demand for US manufactured cars in key export destinations, such as Canada and Germany, also impacted the US car manufacturing industry negatively.
