The automotive industry, the catalyst for the industrial revolution, is the industry that generates the world's largest investments. As a major consumer of essential industries such as iron and steel, other light metals, petrochemicals, glass, and rubber, the automotive industry is also a driving force for economies. This strategically important industry, along with its sub-industry that produces raw materials and intermediate goods, also generates a large volume of business and employment through its multiplier effect in the marketing, dealership, service, fuel, finance, and insurance sectors that enable and support the delivery of automotive products to consumers.
