      The automotive industry is crucial for Europe’s prosperity. The automotive sector provides direct and indirect jobs to 13.8 million Europeans, representing 6.1% of total EU employment.[(1)](https://single-market-economy.ec.europa.eu/sectors/automotive-industry_en) The industry accounts for 8 % of European manufacturing value added.[(2)](https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/ATAG/2024/762419/EPRS_ATA(2024)762419_EN.pdf) The automotive sector in Europe represents the largest private investor in research and development (R&D).[(3)](https://de.fi-group.com/automotive-sector/)

      OP has a weird hate boner of the EU. This is like you 7th post about this?

      We could have expected this, as their domestic market is huge and they have a protectionist economy.

    4. It’s even worse if you do only EV’s, which is the fastest growing segment.

      How would Europe look if you brought in the block as a whole. Currently it is only the big 5.

      Either way the decline is worrying, especially if China out competes Europe on the export front.

    6. no, the german auto manufacturing only declined in the past 3 years. i’m sure of it1!1!1

      It would be interesting to see this in absolute numbers rather than relative shares. Since I assume a lot of Chinese cars are produced for their booming domestic market, it doesn’t necessarily mean the other manufacturers have reduced their numbers so drastically.

    8. Shark Tank advise, Make it in China, are you stupid? Think of the profits!

      I’m surprised that only 3 percent of cars are made in the US. The US is also down the most proportionately from 2000 according to this graph 

    10. That makes sense. We need to protect our market from China who is trying to suffocate our industry’s at a massive scale. To do so, they subsidize their auto manufacturers.

      The Chinese car industry is heavily subsidized in variety of ways stemming from local, regional and the national state apparatus. It is honestly quite the jungle to navigate in. The EV companies are favored in everything from cheap land, tax cuts, low interest loans, access to state run tech companies as well as heavy investments.

      It is even linked to in the reasoning behind EU tariffs.

      Here’s some more context as to why the EU added tariffs: https://www.csis.org/analysis/unpacking-european-unions-provisional-tariff-hikes-chinese-electric-vehicles

      This was linked to and adds loads of links and other available sources to dig into: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/RegData/etudes/ATAG/2023/754553/EPRS_ATA(2023)754553_EN.pdf

      It is well documented that the Chinese auto industry is heavily subsidized by the Chinese state.

      Turns up offloading all your manufacturing and transferring lots of technology to China to take advantage of their (effectively) slave-labour wasn’t actually such a great idea. Who would’ve thought.

    12. No_Zombie2021 on

      I wonder, how much has the market grown… especially in China?

    13. ParticularFix2104 on

      What tf happened in the early 2000s? I expect the GFC and Ukraine War related energy shortages to hurt but ?????????????

    14. dogscatsnscience on

      A lot of this has to do with EV and PHEV which China is adopting faster and culturally there’s more demand for them, but they’re also cheaper cars on average.

      Total units is now the whole story.

      Regardless NA and EU should be making their own EVs, we have all the tooling, skilled labour and the logistics already in place.

      isnt this because china has a hube population. Unlike japan or eu i really havent seen any Chinese car on the streets

    16. mangalore-x_x on

      I mean… this is China production capacity… and everyone and their mother who owned a car company built up factories in China… surprise! China now has a massive car production capacity because everyone builds factories there and they have a growing number of domestic producers

      That is why the big jump is till 2010 already.

      Chinese ICE cars were godawful.

      So they pivoted to EVs, wrote a blank cheque to their car industry, secured critical supply chains and happily exploit their plentiful minerals

      So the EU decided to impose an ICE ban by 2035 and fine manufacturers for not hitting unrealistic targets every year till 2035, but they can purchase credits from Chinese manufacturers to lower the fines

      Truly a masterstroke move by the EU, Xi is still laughing to this day and has no idea how the geniuses in Brussels did his bidding for him without having to lift a finger.
