French carmakers produced 13% of their vehicles in France in 2013
- French manufacturers (Renault-Nissan group and PSA Peugeot-Citroën group) produced 13% of their global production (PC + LCV) on French territory (1.4 million vehicles out of 10.5 million) against 31% in 2015. Compared to German carmakers that in 2013 produced 33% of their global production in Germany.
- European production accounts for 35% of their world production. More so than offshoring, it is mainly the increasing globalisation of French carmakers that reduced the volume of domestic production.
- The takeover of the Japanese manufacturer Nissan by Renault followed by the Korean carmaker Samsung, Dacia from Romania, Lada from Russia developed a strong globalisation of Renault. In 2013, Renault produced 6% of its global production in France, against 9% in 2010 and 18% in 2000. With the arrival of the Renault brand in China, production on French ground is expected to continue to reduce in coming years .
- PSA is historically more France based that Renault-Nissan. In 2013, the second French manufacturer produced 33% of its world production in France, against 38% in 2010 and 60% in 2005. With the expected growth of the Chinese market over the next few years and in view of the group's goals on this market, this is also expected to continue to decline.
