- On the three largest global markets, China, the United States of America and the European Union, the face of the automobile market (sales by body type) has transformed itself and is very different today.

- Indeed, if global sales are divided into five distinct types of bodies (1 / sedans (with trunks) and estates 2/ hatchbacks 3/ SUVs and crossovers 4/ MPV 5/ pick-ups), we can observe that sedans with trunks and estate vehicles are very well established in China (64% of sales in 2013) and in the USA (48% of sales), while they represent only 19% of the market in Europe.

- In Europe, it is Hatchback that are the most present, with 51% of sales in 2013. Conversely, these hatchbacks represent only 12% of sales in China and only 3% in the USA.

- SUVs (and crossovers) can see their market share progress throughout the past dozen years, representing 17% of their sales in Europe, 19% in China and 31% in the USA in 2013.

- Victims of the success of SUVs, minivans have seen their market share decrease, representing only 13% in Europe, 5% in China and only 4% in the USA.

- Finally, pick-up represent 14% in the U.S. while they are marginal in Europe and China.
