The Hyundai-Kia Group sold 7.56 million of PC + LCV in 2013
- The Korean group Hyundai-Kia sold 7.56 million vehicles worldwide in 2013, representing an increase of 6.5% compared to 2012. This is the largest increase recorded last year in the top five carmakers (Toyota, GM, Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan, Hyundai-Kia).
- The Hyundai brand sold 4.73 million vehicles in 2013 (+7.3%) and Kia sold 2.83 million (+4.8%). Hyundai sold 0.64 million vehicles in the Korean market (-4%) and exported 4.08 million (+9.3%). Kia sold 0.46 million vehicles on the Korean market (-5%) and exported 2.38 million (+5.8%).
- The two brands thus achieved 85% of their sales outside Korea, where their market share declined in 2013 to 71.5% (PC + LCV), this remains a very high percentage compared to the share of the Toyota Group in Japan, the GM group in the U.S. or the VW group in Europe. It is imports (traditionally very low in Korea) that have made the most progress in 2013 which reduced the market share of the Hyundai-Kia group in its home market.
- In contrast, the market share of the Korean group grew last year in Russia (13.5%), China (9%), the USA (8%), Europe (6%). The year 2013 was especially characterized by the increase of the group's production capacity in Turkey.
- In 2014, Hyundai-Kia expects a slower growth in worldwide sales of about 4%.
