The latest new vehicle data from California New Car Dealers Association shows total new light vehicle registrations for the first three quarters of 2021 rose 23.8% compared to the same period in 2020, but were still off 6.6% compared to the same period in pre-pandemic 2019. Overall, the latest projections expect a gradual recovery in total sales, rising to 1.85 million for 2021 and 1.91 million in 2022, compared to 1.64 million in 2020 and 2.09 million in 2019. These numbers, however, remain subject to uncertainty stemming from the continuing supply chain disruptions and their effect on both imported vehicle deliveries and component shortages affecting domestic production.
