In 2023, the United States led the global motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers manufacturing sector with 1.41 million employees. Germany followed with 0.841 million. Other notable markets include Poland, Czech Republic, and Romania, with declining employment by -4.15%, -1.43%, and -3.94% respectively. Sweden and Slovakia showed moderate decreases, while Eastern European countries like Lithuania and Estonia experienced significant growth at 17.22% and 7.85%. Portugal and New Zealand also saw modest increases. Overall, mature markets such as the UK and Spain faced steady declines.
