Automotive Industry in the Asia-Pacific Region - Statistics & Facts

Encompassing an area spanning 29.3 million square kilometers, the Asia-Pacific region is home to some 3.9 billion people representing just over half of the world's population. Many of the countries in the region, including China and India, make up some of the fastest growing nations in terms of population size. Housing such a sizeable population with enormous projected growth has important implications in terms of economic development -- especially in the automotive industry.

The Asia-Pacific region refers to the part of the world located in the Western Pacific Ocean. The region typically includes countries from East Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania. The region is also home to some of the largest light vehicle producers in the world with China, Japan, and Korea comprising just over 37 million units of production or 42 percent of the global production market. Motor vehicle production levels are growing in several ASEAN countries, with Vietnam and the Philippines leading the charge.
