The conflict in Iran is reportedly having an impact on the global auto industry, with some outlets suggesting it could lead to a decrease in sales, potentially by nearly 1 million units in 2026. However, the effects on the industry appear to be varied, with some companies experiencing increased costs and sales declines, while others see continued demand for certain vehicles. The war is also said to be complicating the auto supply chain and potentially reshaping the industry, with some regions, such as Asia's EV market, possibly benefiting from the situation.
