There are many interesting trends in the automotive industry in 2012. We have recently found that China tried to foreign manufacturers who sell their country done to reduce with more restrictions. This is not good for the USA, Japan and European car manufacturers. In fact, because of the natural disaster in Japan with the earthquake and tsunami, Japanese car manufacturers are still trying to recover, and floods in Thailand did not help.

However, those with large supply chains disrupted, there was a boon for U.S. auto manufacturers who have taken over almost all the gains in market share that the Japanese had won the last four years. But that does not mean that all is well with U.S. carmakers, either there are still tens of thousands of former auto workers still unemployed, and we are not close to returning to our 17 million cars sold each year, we again 2005 to 2007.

Although the Obama administration claims to have the spectacular presentation of GM and Chrysler after the bailout, things are not quite as stellar as you might think. This is not a political statement, just a reality of the industry. For example Volt from General Motors was a total flop, and the cost of batteries for electric cars is the cost, where the return on investment down just does not make sense, even with the potential for the price of gasoline surging over five dollars per gallon in the spring and summer 2012th

Another interesting trend that has not been much press, though has been to his article in the Wall Street Journal, with the fact that the younger generation went online more time to do it on Facebook, and most children do not even care, the car possess, they can get in touch with their friends to stay online. In fact, to be there when a young man approached driving age is used it a car, wanted to impress girls, but now he does not need a car, he can impress her with cool photos on his Facebook page.

The demographic reality is that it not be buying new cars U.S. automakers at the bottom of hurt, it means that their entry-level cars are not selling so well, and many of these children will enter the passenger car market in 5 10 years later than usual. Many of these children can grow up to 25 to 28 years before buying their first car, maybe after college and graduate.

Of course, they are substantial student loans and will not be able to pay at all. These are just some of the trends in the automotive industry in 2012, but you should probably subscribe to my articles, go so you do not miss anything coming trends and how they arise.
