New light-vehicle sales in the United States increased 2.3% to 13 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis in June 2022 from the previous month’s sales of 12.7 million units. However, June 2022’s sales were down 16% compared to the same month last year. Demand is still outpacing supply, but a lack of inventory caused by supply chain disruptions continues to be the biggest factor limiting sales, according to NADA’s monthly report. Additionally, the low interest rate environment of the past few years will shift from a tailwind to a headwind as the Federal Reserve continues to boost interest rates in an effort to rein in inflation. Toyota, GM, Ford and Stellantis grabbed the lion’s share of the market, with crossover and pickup trucks accounting for nearly two-thirds of sales. source: National Automobile Dealers Association

US New Light-Vehicle Sales Rise in June

US New Light-Vehicle Sales Improves in April
New light-vehicle sales in the United States increased to 14.3 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis in April 2022 from the previous month’s sales of 13.3 million units. However, April 2022’s sales was down 21.9% compared to the stellar sales pace seen in April 2021 which was driven by strong consumer demand and enough inventory available to meet that demand. April 2021 was one of the last sales months before inventory began to decline significantly and limit the sales pace. “We don’t expect that April’s month-end inventory level will change much from March’s level of 1.23 million units as the industry is still unable to produce enough vehicles to meet current demand, let alone restock dealer lots,” NADA said in a monthly report. “For the rest of the year vehicle availability will continue to be the principal limiting factor for new light-vehicle sales. Our forecast for sales in all of 2022 remains unchanged at 15.4 million units,” it added.

US New Light-Vehicle Sales Slips in March
New light-vehicle sales in the United States decreased to 13.3 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis in March 2022, down from the previous month’s sales of 14.1 million units, as well as from March 2021’s sales of 17.6 million units. “Sales fell throughout Q1 2022 as production that was already limited by scarce microchips was further curtailed by global shocks from the war in Ukraine and continuing supply chain disruptions beyond microchips,” NADA said in its monthly report. “For the rest of the year, new-vehicle sales will be limited by the number of vehicles OEMs can build. While our 2022 forecast of 15.4 million new light-vehicle sales remains unchanged from the start of the quarter, there are downside risks to our forecast from ongoing supply chain issues, global conflicts and pandemic-related impacts,” it added. Toyota, GM, Ford and Stellantis grabbed the lion’s share of the market, with crossover and pickup trucks accounting for nearly two-thirds of sales.
