Suzuki remains the tenth carmaker in 2019
- Suzuki sold 2.9 million vehicles (PC + LUV) in 2019, which represents a decline of 10% compared to 2018.
This decrease is mainly due to the drop in sales in its main market, the Indian market (-13.7% of sales, which represents a loss of 240,000 vehicles compared to 2018), but also a decline in sales in other regions (-30,000 in China, -25,000 in Pakistan, -20 000 in Japan, -20 000 in Indonesia) which add up to 100,000 additional lost sales. The Japanese carmaker is also not in an extraordinary shape in Europe, where its sales are in slight decline, because it has just decided to remove the Baleno and Celerio models from its product range.

- Suzuki's global sales in 2019 break down:
1. India is its largest market, with 1.51 million vehicles, or 52% of its world sales.
2. Japan is its second market, with 696,000 vehicles, or 24% of its world sales.
3. Europe is its third market, with 232,000 vehicles, or 8% of its world sales.
- These three markets represent 84% of global Suzuki sales in 2019.
- The future of Suzuki remains uncertain (range limited to small models with thermal engine, non presence on the Chinese and North American markets), but the support could come from its new partner Toyota which could be tempted by an acquisition more pronounced, even if its Daihatsu brand has a product range very close to Suzuki one.
