Renault sales increased by 18.7% in 2021, but remain down compared to 2019
- Global sales of light vehicles (passenger and utility) of the Renault group (Renault, Alpine, Dacia, Samsung, Lada, Jinbei-Huasong) increased by 18.7% in the first half of 2021, compared to the first half of 2020, but decreased by 24.2% compared to the first half of 2019, which was already down 6.7% compared to the first half of 2018.
- Totally, the Renault group's worldwide sales did not exceed 1,422,600 units in the first half of 2021, which represents a loss of 516,000 units compared to the first half of 2019. The carmaker indicates (like others) that its the objective is no longer volume at all costs but profitability.
- In the first half of 2021, the group's largest market remains France (287,602 units; 24.7% of the French market sales) ahead of Russia (270,285 units; 31% market share). In this market, it is above all the Lada brand that is present, but the Renault brand alone represents a quarter of the group's sales in Russia (Dacia is not sold there). Germany (87,029 units; 5.7% market share) and Italy (82,951 units; 8.5% market share) follow. Brazil (69,465 units; 6.9% market share) is Renault's fifth market, ahead of Spain (59,874 units; 11% market share) and Turkey (58,631 units; 15% market share).
- Renault is therefore very present in Southern Europe (France, Italy, Spain) and in Germany, but the results in the rest of Europe are more inconstant. In Europe overall, Renault sold 746,000 vehicles in the first half of 2021, representing a market share of 9.8% against 11% in 2019. The group's best-selling cars are the Renault Clio, Dacia Duster and Dacia Sandero.
