Global competition has greatly changed the industry over the years. In the 1960s and 1970s, U.S. automobile producers enjoyed a dominant position globally, as 48 percent of global automobile production occurred in the United States, and all of those producers were American-owned firms.27 The United States competitive position in the global marketplace did not last, however, as foreign competitors aggressively penetrated the global market and captured a significant portion of global market share. By 1985, automobile production in the United States as a percentage of global automobile production declined to 26
percent, then to 18 percent in 2005, and to 12 percent in 2017 as shown in Figure 1A.28 In 2017, American-owned
manufacturers within the United States and abroad held only 12 percent of the global market which, as shown in Figure 1B, represents a significant decline from the 36 percent of global market share held by American-owned manufacturers in 1995. The decline in global market share reflects the rise of foreign-owned producers and the weakening of the U.S.
automotive manufacturing base.
The 20082009 worldwide economic downturn exacerbated the contraction of U.S. market share in the global automotive sector, and in 2009 U.S.
automobile production in the aggregate by American-owned and foreign-owned firms declined to 5.7 million units, which is just nine percent of global production.29 Although global production rebounded from 72.8 million units in 2007 to 96.2 million units in 2017,30 the rise in production volume
62035

was largely attributed to Chinas dramatic rise, growing from less than 8.9 million units in 2007 to 29.0 million units in 2017.31 China became the number one automobile producing country in 2009, and in 2017 produced over 25 percent of the worlds supply of automobiles.32 The EU, Japan, South Korea, Canada, and Mexico are also major producers of automobiles, and are the top sources of automobile imports into the United States. Manufacturers in the United States, Japan, and the EU
moved some automobile production for the North and South American markets to Mexico, leading to an increase in production there. Despite significant automobile production in Canada and Mexico, there are no Canadianor Mexican-owned automobile producers in those counties.
