This report presents a comprehensive analysis and additional information on the Industrial market, in a PDF format.

Motor vehicle production increased by three percent in 2021 year-on-year, amounting to around 80 million motor vehicles manufactured that year globally. The increase in output signals that the automotive industry has begun to recover after the tumultuous years of 2019 and 2020. In 2020, global motor vehicle output shrank by nearly 16 percent. The dramatic decrease in units produced and sold globally that year is closely related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw several manufacturing plants halting production, thousands of people out of their jobs, and reduced demand during its early stages. Although motor vehicle sales and production volumes improved in 2021, they are yet to return to pre-pandemic levels. As of 2022, the global chip shortage affecting several industries also leaves its mark on the automotive sector, where semiconductors have become more and more present.
