In 2013 the PSA group sold 2.82 million PC+LUV
 
- PSA the Peugeot-Citroën group has seen its global vehicle sales decline in 2013 for the third consecutive year, to 2.82 million units (against 2.97 million in 2012, 3.55 million in 2011 and 3.60 million in 2010).

- This poor performance is reflected in a decrease of 4.9% of its global sales in 2013 compared to 2012. However, the decline of around 150 000 sales is due for 97% to halt in car sales in Iran (145 000 units in 2012), the growth of its sales in China (+113 000 units) have largely offset the decline in sales of Europe (-123 000 units).

- In the rest of the world, PSA saw its sales increase by 12% (including 7.1% in Latin America  to 303 000 units), but suffered a major setback in Russia (-20.5% 62 000 units), while the group there has recently established a large plant (Kaluga) that can produce up to 150 000 vehicles per year.

- In Accordance with the objectives of the manufacturer, the globalization of Peugeot and Citroën continues at a good rate, since the proportion of its sales outside Europe rose from 38% in 2012 to 42% in 2013, after repeated increases in previous years. PSA wants to achieve 46% of its sales outside Europe in 2014 and 50% in 2015 in order to be less dependent of the European market which is dedicated to a much slower growth than other regions of the world.
