Today there is a rapid transformation of the global automotive market. If during the XX century the United States and Western Europe were the key regions for leading automobile concerns, then since 2010, China has been being first by the number of cars sold: by the end of 2019, this figure in China amounted to 25,8 million units, in the USA – 17,5 million units. (see Table 1).

The United States still leads in the total stock of cars: today there are 274 million cars. However, in the short term, this century-old leadership will be lost, since the relative level of motorization is close to its natural limit: in the United States, 838 cars fall per 1 thousand inhabitants, including infants.

In China, the market is far from satiety. The level of motorization is estimated at 181 cars per 1 thousand inhabitants, which is 2,1 times lower than in Russia - 381 cars. Taking into account the growth of welfare of citizens in China, the further rapid growth in the local stock of cars should be expected. The total number of vehicles in the PRC has reached 260 million units, which is only 14 million units less than in the USA.

India is ranked 3rd by stock of cars - 243 million units. However, annual sales of new cars there are much lower than in China. Despite this, having huge population, India will also bypass the United States in total stock of cars in the medium term.

Russia ranks 1st in Europe in terms of the number of vehicles: 56 million cars are registered in the country.

The COVID-19 pandemic will certainly make adjustments to the global automotive market. Everywhere there will be a significant decline in sales, consumption of gasoline and diesel fuel. Nevertheless, the trend cannot be changed. The future of the auto industry is in Asia, and given the number of people in the region, steady demand for oil products, metals, and composite materials will remain.
