S&P Global Mobility warns of significant disruptions in the North American automotive industry as the U.S. government announces potential 25% tariffs on vehicles imported from Canada and Mexico, with a 10% tariff for mainland China vehicles. Components and EVs already face tariffs of 25% and 100% respectively.
In 2024, the U.S. imported 3.6 million light vehicles from Canada and Mexico, representing 22% of U.S. vehicle sales. The proposed 25% duty on a $25,000 landed cost could add up to $6,250 to vehicle prices. The analysis indicates a 30% probability of a 6-8 week disruption, potentially causing a 30% decrease in production for high-exposure vehicles.
In a 'Tariff Winter' scenario (10% probability), long-term 25% tariffs could lead to North American light-vehicle sales declining by 10% in the U.S., 8% in Mexico, and 15% in Canada over several years. The uncertainty may delay future vehicle program development and impact consumer purchasing decisions.
