International automakers are driving growth today and investing in tomorrow.

Economic Impact

International automakers continue to drive the strength and competitiveness of the U.S. auto industry through sustained investment, manufacturing growth, and consumer choice. With more than $125 billion invested in American operations and industry-leading light vehicle production, our members remain committed to building in the United States.

State Impact

International automakers are deeply rooted in states and communities across the country. Their U.S. footprint includes 500 facilities and nearly 9,500 dealerships that support local jobs, generate tax revenue, and contribute to economic growth. From manufacturing plants and research centers to dealerships and training programs, these operations create lasting value well beyond the vehicles they produce and sell.
