Peugeot+Citroën and Renault+Dacia neck and neck on the European passenger car market
- The passenger car market share for the Renault, Peugeot, Citroën and Dacia brands in Europe (29 countries) which was 25% between 2000 and 2003, fell gradually to 24% in 2004, 23% in 2005 and 21.5% between 2006 and 2008 before stabilizing at 20% between 2012 and 2021. But the situation between the four brands has evolved over time, even if the Renault brand remained first until 2020, the Peugeot brand remaining second until 2020, with the Citroën brand remaining third until 2021 and the Dacia brand remaining fourth until 2021.
- The situation has evolved in the sense that the gap between Renault and Peugeot has only narrowed since the year 2000, and the year 2021 marks a significant change in the sense that the Peugeot brand has moved ahead of the Renault brand in Europe for the first time in its history, with a difference of 60,000 units (701,000 VP against 641,000 VP).
- On the other hand, the gap between Citroën and Dacia has only decreased since 2005, and the year 2021 marks such a small gap that it is possible that Dacia will overtake Citroën in 2022 or 2023.
- In 2021, Peugeot represents 6.6% of the European passenger car market, Renault 6.2%, Citroën 4.1% and Dacia 3.7%. It is interesting to note that since 2016, the addition of Renault and Dacia achieves a market share comparable to that of the addition of Peugeot and Citroën. This market share is close to 10%, slightly above 20% for all four brands.
- Dacia only compensated for the decline in Renault's market share, without increasing or reducing it.
