Getting You Where You Need to Go

Automobiles and transportation equipment form the backbone of modern life, supporting the flow of goods and people and driving industries of all types, including yours. Freedonia analysis covers the sales, production, and maintenance of motor vehicles, automobiles, and transportation equipment, providing forecasts and analysis of key factors such as electrification and suppy chain.

Will there be a shortage of cars in 2023?

While global motor vehicle manufacturing has been constrained by a tight supply of semiconductors as well as other supply chain issues, some relief is expected in 2023, when global production is forecast to hit 93.3 million vehicles. By 2025, production will have surpassed the pre-pandemic peak of 98.8 million vehicles. 

Although sales of new vehicles have been limited by production issues, manufacturers in the US have been able to reap substantial profits by concentrating on the production of higher-margin vehicles and pushing development of battery-powered models.

Will all cars be electric by 2030?

  • About half of all motor vehicles will be hybrid or electric by 2031, as demand balloons to 57.7 million units, five times as many HEVs as were sold in 2021.
  • Sales rose dramatically in 2021 in spite of overall weakness in the global automotive industry, and rapid advances are expected to continue as governments worldwide provide expanded regulatory support for the adoption of EVs.
  • Battery electric vehicles overtook full hybrids to become the most common type of HEV in 2021. Government regulations are increasingly attempting to boost sales of these products, which are preferred because they are zero-emissions vehicles.
  • Developing a sufficient supply of batteries is a critical factor in the growth of the BEV market, and automakers will need to collaborate closely with battery manufacturers in order to take full advantage of available government subsidies.
