The Federal Reserve's policy of keeping interest rates near-zero has benefitted the auto industry as a majority of Americans rely on loans to purchase new vehicles. Marketing firm LMC Automotive projects new vehicle sales to grow to 15.3 million in 2013.
"The current fundamentals that are driving strong vehicle sales--pent-up vehicle demand and a stable, recovering economy--are expected to get a boost by additional positive factors this year," said Jeff Schuster, LMC's senior vice president. "An expected recovery in the housing market, and 50% more new-model launches, combined with an increase in lease maturities, should keep light-vehicle sales climbing throughout the year."
