The US market is down 11.6% in 2021 compared to 2019
- The US automobile market (passenger cars and light trucks) remained at a fairly high level in 2021 compared to 2020, since we remained above 15 million registrations, at 15,079,182 units against 14,537,086 units in 2020, which represents an increase of 3.7%. But this volume remains lower than the volumes recorded between 2015 and 2019, which were over 17 million units. The figures for 2021 are therefore down 11.6% compared to 2019, this decline being however less marked than that recorded in Europe over the same period.
- The US market has not yet fully entered the electric era, compared to Europe and China, which may have a positive influence on the level of registrations. (due to the high price of electric vehicles). Electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) only represent 9% of the market in the United States against 19% in Europe.
- Out of all US registrations in 2021, SUVs represented 7.945 million units (53% of the market), sedans and coupes 3.675 million units (24% of the market), pickups 2.835 million units (19% of the market), minivans 0.325 million units (2% of the market) and vans 0.300 million units (2% of the market).
- For the first time, the Toyota group takes first place among manufacturers in the United States, ahead of GM, Ford and Stellantis. This situation is the most convincing result of the abandonment of sedans by American manufacturers, the sedan market having been completely recovered by Japanese, Korean and European manufacturers.
