World Automotive Manufacturing Industry Report
Khurram Faheem, June 2007, Pages: 81
In conformity with Europe’s position as the world’s largest automaker, its auto industry is also one of its largest manufacturing segments. For this reason, out of the 45 million passenger cars produced globally, 40% are manufactured in the European Union. The EU is also the most populated market in terms of significant market presence of every major automaker in the world. The auto sector directly employs 2 million Europeans and indirectly supports another 10 million employees in downstream industries, making it the leading employer among all manufacturing sectors of the EU.
It is a fact that Europe claims superiority in the world auto market, on the contrary this is true in terms of absolute volumes only. Its position is compromised to China and Japan where auto industry is growing at much higher rates than Europe. In Japan, the auto industry is coined as one of the economy’s core industrial sectors. Total employment in auto manufacturing and related industries of Japan is 5 million people, which constitutes 8% of Japan’s working population. Japan’s success in the world auto market is exemplary and one of its critical success factors in the forefront is heavy budgetary expenditure for Research & Development, which constitutes nearly one fifth of the country’s total manufacturing budget.
Japan has adopted the role of an aggressor in the automobile world with heavyweights like Toyota, Nissan, Mazda, and Honda all situated in Japan. The country’s auto exports have been growing at a CAGR of 7.4% for the last 6 years. Japan’s auto exports rose for the 5th consecutive year, posting an increase of 18.1% to 6 million units in 2006. Majority of these exports were received by North America which is the dominant export market for Japan.
