Market Overview



South America has the presence of major automakers, including General Motors, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Ford, Toyota, Peugeot, and Renault. Further, the national regulatory bodies of various countries in the region have realized the importance of the automotive industry and are taking initiatives to develop the automotive industry. For instance, an initiative by the Brazilian authority regarding Route 2030 (a scheme of tax credits worth billions of dollars to auto and auto-parts manufacturers in Brazil) was announced in 2017, which was eagerly anticipated as the industry struggles to grow sustainably following the country's exit from recession in 2017. Route 2030 offered US$ 535 million in tax incentives from 2019 to eligible manufacturers and US$ 382 million annually, which will continue till 2030. The program applies specifically to profitable auto companies actively investing in research & development, especially those creating technologies that boost energy efficiency within Brazil. Similarly, in 2017, Argentine President Mauricio Macri announced a US$ 1 million plan for the development of the automotive industry, under which the country aimed to produce 750,000 cars annually by 2019 and ~1 million units by 2023. Therefore, the government initiatives to support the growth of the automotive industry will strengthen the automotive manufacturing industry, which is likely to support the growth of the automotive airbags and seatbelts market in the region.
