The automotive industry has grown over several decades, establishing itself as one of South Carolina’s major economic drivers. 

In 2023 alone, it accounted for $4.3 billion in announced capital investment — the state’s leading industry cluster, including the burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) and EV battery sub-sectors. To celebrate and promote this cornerstone industry, the South Carolina Manufacturers Alliance is hosting its 13th Annual SC Automotive Summit in Greenville, S.C., Tuesday-Thursday, Feb. 13-15, 2024.
