The New Big Three in U.S. Auto

Below, we show the 2024 U.S. market share of various car brands.

GM, Toyota, and Ford dominate the U.S. auto market with a combined 45% share, marking a continued shift from the traditional “Big Three” (GM, Ford, Chrysler), which last held the top three spots in the early 2000s before Toyota overtook Chrysler in 2007.

Hyundai and Honda remain strong contenders, with 11% and 9% market shares, respectively, showing continued demand for Asian automakers.

Another Japanese car brand, Mazda, made up a smaller share (3%) of U.S.’ auto market but recorded the highest annual change in new vehicle sales in the U.S. last year.

While Tesla accounts for the highest global market cap among automakers by far, the company holds just 4% of the U.S. market in new car sales, indicating that while EV adoption is growing, traditional automakers still lead U.S. car sales.
