Countries in the region are investing heavily in the development of automotive castings. Government initiatives in this region have formulated measures to fuel the automotive industry demand. For instance, U.S. Energy Department has sanctioned more than USD 8 billion loans to finance the automotive sector through ATVM program, which has helped the companies to redesign their auto parts for better fuel efficiency.

The COVID-19 pandemic has been a menace to vehicle manufacturers in North America. The demand for components, such as steel coils and foams, is further threatening the market and the industry's response toward supply chain disruptions is low. The trend among US automakers to halt production is spreading and may reduce the demand for metals & petrochemical products in the automotive sector.

In the United States, the closure of assembly plants puts pressure on an increasingly troubled global supply base, and companies may violate agreements that may require bank intervention. For instance, in April 2020, Pace Industries LLC a leading die cast manufacturer in North America, forced to close to five manufacturing facilities thus reducing company’s profitability.
