2021 global sales of light vehicles by automotive groups
- The global light vehicle (PC+LUV) automotive market grew by 3.5% in 2021, and therefore did not catch up at all with 2019. The year 2020 had indeed seen the global market fall by 16 %.
- In this context, the Toyota group retains the world's first place in terms of volume ahead of the Volkswagen group.
- The Japanese manufacturer sold 10.34 million light vehicles (PC+LUV) last year while the German manufacturer could not exceed 8.6 million units. The Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi group retains its third place (7.7 million units) ahead of the Hyundai-Kia group (6.7 million units) and the Stellantis group (6.2 million units) which is resulting from the merger of PSA and FCA.
- The GM group (6.0 million units) lost its fourth place in 2021 and fell to sixth place, behind Hyundai-Kia and Stellantis. The Honda group (4.4 million units), in seventh position, is breaking away from the Ford group (3.7 million units) which has eliminated its range of sedans in North America, which has benefited Japanese manufacturers and Koreans.
- In ninth position, Suzuki (2.6 million units) is ahead of premium manufacturers BMW (2.5 million units) and Mercedes (2.4 million units). Finally, in twelfth place, the Geely group (2.15 million units) remains the largest independent Chinese manufacturer, ahead of Changan (1.51 million units), Great Wall (1.28 million units) , Mazda (1.12 million units), SAIC (1.10 million units), Dongfeng (1.04 million units), Tata Motors (1.04 million units) and Tesla (0, 94 million units).
