Growth of car number (in million) in the world is continuing non-stop: 1950 – 67, 1982 – 441, 2006 – 927, 2014 – 1.236, 2035 – 2.000 (forecast), 2050 – 2.500 (forecast). 7 developed countries have 51% of world’s its number (in million): USA – 250 (2010), China – 172 (2015; 205 in 2017), Russia – 51 (2014), Germany – 47 (2013), Japan – 40 (2013), France – 38 (2013), UK – 30 (2013).
Motorization is continuing even after overcoming a seeming limit at 500-650 cars per 1,000 inhabitants (average for the world is 250): Italy – 673, France – 598, Germany – 554. The big geographical distinctions exist inside each country: region Seine et Marne – 530 and Paris – 330 in France; Wyoming – 1,400, California – 774, New York state – 536 in the U.S.A.
But the motorization level in some countries is higher, and overcomes 800 cars per 1,000 inhabitants: Monaco – 863, the U.S.A. – 809, Iceland – 767, Luxembourg – 747, New Zealand – 733, Qatar – 724. And some less populated mountainous states of the U.S.A. have this level much higher: 1,100-1,400 cars per 1,000 inhabitants (Wyoming – 1405).
The motorization level in Russia is still too low: 138 (2000); 233 (2009); 303 (2015). But some Russian regions have the European level: Primorskiy kray – 572 (2014), Kamchatskiy kray – 438, Moscow – only 311 (400 in 2017).
