The VW group is still the leading carmaker in Europe over the 9 months of 2021
- The Stellantis group was the leading seller of vehicles in Europe in the first quarter of 2021, ahead of the Volkswagen group, with 24% market share against 23% for the German carmaker. However, Volkswagen had already taken the lead in the European market in the first half of 2021.
- It should nevertheless be noted that the cumulative sales of PSA and FCA had exceeded those of the Volkswagen group in previous years, except in 2020 when the German carmaker had suffered less from the Covid-19 crisis than its two competitors.
- Over the January-September 2021 cumulative, the Volkswagen group kept its first place in sales in Europe, with 2,445,854 units, representing 24.6% of the European passenger car and light utility vehicle market (PC+LUV), while the Stellantis group did not exceeded 2,241,961 units, representing 22.6% of the European market.
- The two European market leaders are well ahead of the Renault-Nissan groups (1,242,618 units, 12.5% market share), Hyundai-Kia (771,145 units, 7.8% market share), BMW ( 661,291 units, 6.7% market share), Toyota (634,200 units, 6.4% market share), Ford (591,851 units, 6.0% market share) and Daimler (572,761 units, 5.8% market share). With the lead the Volkswagen Group has taken over the Stellantis Group over the past nine months, it is highly likely that the German carmaker will remain the number one carmaker in Europe in terms of sales for the whole 2021 year.
