May 30, 2016
U.S. imports and exports of vehicles and parts dipped sharply during the Great Recession in 2009. Since that time, imports of vehicles and parts from Mexico to the United States have been steadily growing and by 2015 reached $74.5 billion. The value of vehicles/parts imports from Canada in 2004 was more than double imports from Mexico, but leveled off after 2012 to about $55 billion (constant 2015 dollars). Exports of vehicles/parts to Mexico rose above $20 billion for the first time in 2012.
