Mobility Global forecasts US light-vehicle sales will reach 16.1 million units in 2026 and only 16.4 million by 2030, remaining below the pre-pandemic annual average of about 17 million. Affordability is cited as the main barrier preventing a market rebound, despite easing emissions rules and a rise in battery-electric vehicle production. Hybrid vehicles are expected to grow significantly, with full hybrid electric vehicle assembly projected to surpass 3 million units by 2027. The industry is also shifting toward regionalization, with automakers focusing on building and designing vehicles for specific markets amid rising costs and geopolitical uncertainties.
