The global automotive market is down 4.5% compared to the first four months of 2019
- The global automotive market (PC + LUV) increased by 34.2% in the first four months of 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, which was characterized by the closure of automobile plants for several weeks, both in Europe and in China or in the United States, following the consequences of the first wave of COVID-19.
- This is the reason why it makes more sense to compare the vehicle registration figures against the first four months of 2019. And in this case, the global automotive market is down 4.5% compared, with 25,906,629 vehicles, against 19,304,125 in the first four months of 2020 and 27,134,112 in the same period in 2019. We are therefore at 6.6 million more units compared to 2020 but 1.2 million units less compared to 2019. However, the gap seems to be thinning month after month (April 2021 is thus at the same level as April 2019).
- The total breaks down into 20,271,271 passenger cars (down 7.7% from 2019) and 5,635,358 light utility vehicles (up 9% from 2019). Regarding passenger cars, Europe is at + 23.2% compared to 2020 but at -25% compared to 2019, China is at + 53.7% compared to 2020 but -0.8% compared to in 2019, the United States is at + 27.5% compared to 2020 and + 0.1% compared to 2019, Japan is at + 8.6% compared to 2020 and -6.7% compared to to 2019.
