Automotives Industry in United States- Demand, Sales & Forecast Report
US light vehicle sales ended 2013 up 7.6% at 15.60mn, in line with Researcher 's forecast of an 8.2% increase to15.68mn. With macroeconomic conditions largely favorable, we expect further growth, albeit slightly slower at 3.6%, to be achievable in 2014, taking the market back to 16mn units for the first time since 2007.
We expect light trucks to continue to outperform the car segment, led by a slew of new product launches. Looking ahead, positive data from the residential housing sector, as part of an increasingly bullish macroeconomic picture, suggests that the truck segment will carry this growth into 2014 (see 'Weekly Data
Analysis: Positive Housing, Manufacturing and Consumer Data', December 2). We forecast 5.3% growth in light truck sales in 2014, which is still robust by historical standards, despite representing a slowdown from current levels.
