According to a report by research firm S&P Global, the impact of insufficient supply of automotive chips is expected to slow down in 2023, but global new vehicle sales of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles only increased by 5.6% year-on-year to about 83.6 million units, lower than in 2019 before the pandemic. Even though global new cars have been in short supply for two consecutive years, there are still accumulated orders undigested, and it is estimated that global new car sales in 2022 will decline by 1.3% year-on-year to only 79.2 million units.
