S&P Global Mobility forecasts U.S. sales will reach 14.7 million units next year. This puts the market below 17 million units for the fourth year in a row, which leaves pent-up demand.
“However, economic conditions are also expected to dampen some of the pent-up demand as well... We may see fewer people looking for a new car in 2023. Overall, 2023 is going to be a stronger sales year than 2022, but it’s still a comparatively weak US. light-vehicle market.”
