In particular, the main producing and consuming countries of cars are identified; also points out the current trend of the industry towards the formation of alliances and mergers between the multinational companies that lead the sector worldwide. Finally, the effects of the economic crisis of 2009 on the composition of the industry at world level are eplored; above all, the consolidation of China as the main automobile producing country, and the recovery process that the industry is experiencing in the United States.
