From the Paper:

"Although the car industry has reached its peak in mature markets like North America, Europe, and Japan, the expansion process of this industry still continues due to emerging markets like China and India. With North America being the largest national market, it is expected that China will soon become the second largest national market, outnumbering Japan. It is also expected that the following decades will be characterized by a significantly increased production."
