NAFTA Vehicle Production Analysis - Production in the NAFTA zone – 5/6
- NAFTA production has increased overall, rising from 16.3 million in 2005 to 18.1 million units in 2015. But it is the breakdown between the three countries that has changed.
- The production of American carmakers went from 8.2 million in 2005 to 6.6 million units in 2015. They accounted for nearly 50% of production in the region in 2005. They represented no more than 36.5 % in 2015. Japanese carmakers rose from 3.2 million to 4.3 million units in 2015, they represented less than 20% of production in the region in 2005 reaching 23.7% in 2015. FCA (Italy) increased from 0 to 2.9 million vehicles, representing in 2015 a 16% share of the production in the region. Renault-Nissan (France) increased from 1.2 to 1.8 million vehicles in 2015, a 10% share of production in the region. Korean carmakers present only in the United States, have thus passed from 100 000 to 750 000 units in 2015, reaching 4% of production in the region. German carmakers (who lost Chrysler) went from 3.2 to 1.3 million units in 2015, representing 7% of production in the region.
- Despite their leadership in the region, US-controlled companies have lost their influence in the NAFTA region, especially in favour of Japanese carmakers, but also Korean carmakers and Renault-Nissan (France).
