Nissan may have gotten huge North America profits but it didn't stop the company from feeling concerned.The extra car sales are being appreciated a lot by CEO Carlos Ghosn but does it mean now they depend too on the U.S.? The company needs to rebalance its global footprint to tap other profit centers. The company isn't planning to reduce the profit on North America but simply wants to find some new pillars of profit by the time the auto sales in North America go down. The company realizes that the economy of U.S. started to slow down and the country won't bring profits forever.
Nissan relies on North America for 37 percent of its global sales. This company isn't the only one that counts North America as their biggest regional market Toyota, Mazda, Honda and Subaru also their vehicles here. Subaru gets 66% of its total from North America while Honda gets 50%. Even though U.S. vehicle demand is on pace of increase for its seventh-straight year, forecasts say it won't last forever and the growth is slowing down. Nissan is preparing for that moment, and it went on building binge in other markets: Brazil, Thailand, Indonesia, China and Mexico.
