One in Three Cars Worldwide Is Produced in China
CAR PRODUCTION
Almost one in three – or 32 percent – of all cars produced worldwide in 2019 came out of China. As shown in numbers by the automobile manufacturers' association OICA, the world manufactures less cars than it did in 2014, but several Asian markets actually were able to grow their production volumes.

India exhibited one of the biggest increases – almost 15 percent in five years to 3.6 million cars annually. The biggest decrease in production hit the ailing U.S. car industry, which lost 40 percent of its domestic production between 2014 and 2019.

Germany also make less cars at home, but German manufacturers like Volkswagen are a part of the rising Chinese production. In 2019, the Chinese market accounted for around 39 percent of Volkswagen's total sales. Shifting production sites are only one aspect of the internationalization of the car industry. Know-how also migrates with production, with established manufacturers entering into joint ventures with Chinese or other Asian companies, which usually include technology transfer.

Maybe this is way cars are so cheap in China, in Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia a horse is worth more than a car. Even in herding commnities in these regions, you may find some families don't have horses, but rarely see those who don't have cars. Families wealth is being gauged by how many cattles they own, not how many cars and houses.

So few cars are made in the US? I thought it would be more than Japan.

The US number is certainly wrong. US makes like a million cars a month.

This number is from 2019, now China's share is much bigger than that.

That's How Bad De-Industrialization in US

This number is from 2019, now China's share is much bigger than that.

China in 2021 alone. Produced 26+ Million Cars

Crazy indeed..

My lord how did US manage to loose so many factory jobs? There are plenty of immigrants who would love to work in those factories.

Any american here who knows the reason?

Unlike Mexico, Thailand or wherever, half of those are from Chinese car companies like SAIC, Geely, GWM, Changan, Chery, and BYD, etc. And when it comes to EVs, the number will be every 1 in 2, and mostly from Chinese companies.

But supposedly the US economy, built up by fluff, derivatives and services, is supposedly larger.
