The American market (PC + LUV) fell by 14.7% in 2020
- The US market for light vehicles (passenger cars – PCs and light utility vehicles - LUVs) fell by 14.7% in 2020, to 14,537,086 units, due to the coronavirus crisis, which is an average result regarding the global market, with China doing much better and Europe much worse.
- All carmakers saw their sales decline, except Tesla whose registrations rise from 179,000 units in 2019 to 205,600 in 2020, which represents an increase of almost 15% year-on-year. Its market share increased from 1.0% in 2019 to 1.5% in 2020, but the Californian carmaker is still very far from the leaders.
- The leading carmaker in the United States remains the GM group (17.4% of the market), ahead of Toyota (14.5%) which is ahead for the first time the Ford group (14.0%), result of a sudden delete of its sedans range (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, Taurus) last year. The FCA group remains at the fourth place (12.5%), ahead of Honda (9.2%), Hyundai-Kia (8.4%) and Renault-Nissan (6.8%) which experienced the largest fall on the US market in 2020 (-32.7%). German carmakers are behind, with Volkswagen (3.9%), Daimler (2.2%) and BMW (2.1%).
- Light trucks (SUVs + pick-ups + MPVS and vans) continued to dominate the market in 2020, now accounting for 75% of the US sales, compared to just 25% for sedans, coupes and convertibles. SUVs alone represent 51% of the US market in 2020, the remaining 24% being divided into pick-ups (20% of the market), MPVs (2%) and vans (2%). The best-selling vehicle in the United States in 2020 remains the Ford F-Series pick-up (as it has been for about 40 years) with 787,000 units registered.
