The Canadian market (PC+LUV) fell 3.6% in 2019
- The Canadian automobile market (PC + LUV) declined by 3.6% in 2019, to 1.914 million units compared to 1,985 million in 2018 and 2,039 million in 2017. This market has therefore been declining for two years and is moving away from its sales peak sales in 2017.
- The Canadian market already reached a very high motorization rate (nearly 700 cars per 1,000 inhabitants), close to the one recorded in the United States. The Canadian car park is therefore saturated, and current sales are only intended to replace existing vehicles.
- At the same time, Canada sees its automobile production reduced year after year, as some carmakers relocated to the United States or Mexico, thus reminding the situation of Australia a few years ago. The presence of the Canadian automotive industry therefore remains fragile, especially in a global context of declining markets.
- By carmakers, the Ford group remains the first seller on the Canadian market, with a market share of 15%, ahead of GM (13%), Toyota (12%), Fiat-Chrysler (11%), Hyundai-Kia (11%), Honda (10%) and Renault-Nissan (7%), this group being represented in Canada by its Japanese brands Nissan and Infiniti.
- SUVs represent 46% of the Canadian market in 2019, compared to 48% in 2018, but this share, which has fallen slightly year-on-year, remains one of the highest in the world, with the United States (46 % in 2019 compared to 45% in 2018).
