- PC Global production is expected to reach 90 million units in 2020. Inovev grouped in its calculations PC based on the European car classification and incorporated North American vehicles considered as "light trucks" (minivans SUVs and crossovers), but which are recorded as PC in all other regions of the world. The ranking is thus globally harmonized.

- Since 2005, except for two years of global financial crisis in 2008 and 2009 car production has grown steadily between 3% and 6% per year. Nevertheless two catching ups took place, one in 2010 (+23.6%), which followed two years of decline (-2.6% in 2008 and -10.8% in 2009), the other in 2014 (+7.0% provided by Inovev) following a year 2013 marked by a growth two times lower than in 2012.

- Inovev nevertheless expects a slowdown in global car production starting from 2015 (+4.3%) which should gradually decline to about 2% per year starting from 2018.

- In this context, the automotive industry will continue to move from the West (Europe) to the East (Asia), with China accounting for 25% of world production in 2013 will represent 30% in 2019. Europe (EU) accounted for 20% of world production in 2013 will account for 19% in 2019.
