The global car market (VP + LCV) in 2019 by manufacturers
- The global automotive market (VP + LCV) declined by 4.2% in 2019, in particular due to the significant drop in the world's leading market, the Chinese market.
- By manufacturers, the Volkswagen group takes first place at Renault-Nissan, ahead of the Toyota group which takes second place. The Renault-Nissan group is in third place and is therefore the big loser of last year, the Nissan division having seen its world sales drop significantly.
- Only the Volkswagen and Toyota groups therefore remain above the 10 million light vehicles sold in 2019.
- The GM group retains its fourth place but declines significantly, due to the drop in sales on the Chinese market (consequence of trade tensions between China and the United States) and is getting closer to the Hyundai-Kia group which sees its sales fall slightly.
- The Ford group has also suffered from trade tensions between China and the United States, as it sees its sales plummet in the Chinese market. It is behind Honda for the first time worldwide.
- The FCA group retains its eighth place, but its world sales fell last year. FCA is ahead of the PSA group, which should merge with it in 2020, to create the new fourth largest manufacturer in the world. Behind FCA and PSA, we find Suzuki, which suffered from the decline of the Indian market, and Premium manufacturers BMW and Daimler.
