- The German market rose by 6.7% in December reaching 229 700 units that month. Over the 12 months of 2014, the German market rose by + 2.9% to 3 036 773 units (against 2 952 431 units in 2013).

- This positive result is the sign of a slight reboot for the German market, after two years of decline (the German market fell below the 3 million threshold at the time, one of the worst figures for twenty years).

- In 2014 it still remains far from the figures recorded in the years 1996-2006 when the German market ranged from between 3.2 and 3.8 million annually.

- It has a long way to go to return to pre-crisis levels. According to Inovev it might increase slightly over 2015-2017 but will not reach the 3.2 million units per year threshold.

- 2014 was marked by an upward trend as early as January, February, March and was upwards in May, July and in September-October-December.

- The monthly variations of the German market in 2014 reveal a bumpy pace that is not unlike the changes of the French market that same year. The unstableness of the German market could continue in 2015 as long as European economic growth has not been confirmed as long lasting.
