U.S. auto trade is undergoing a drastic change as the import share of the
domestic market is set to level off in the next few years and exports of
U.S.-made cars rise.
Ever more autos are being made in plants foreign automakers have set
up in the U.S. and its North American Free Trade Agreement neighbors. As
a result, the share of the U.S. market controlled by auto imports is on
the wane after years of growth, while the share of the market
controlled by “foreign-badged” cars made in the U.S. is rising.
