The Dutch market shrinks by 27.6% in 2021 compared to 2019
- The Dutch automotive market (passenger cars) remained at a very low level in 2021 compared to 2019 (-27.6%), a level which is even lower than that of 2020 (-10.0%). In total, the Netherlands registered 322,831 passenger cars last year, up from 358,330 in 2020 and 446,114 in 2019. This is the lowest figure in decades.
- The reasons given for this very low level of registrations in 2021 relate to the lack of supply of the semiconductors that automakers need to make their cars marketable.
- But it could be that the sharp increase in the average price of cars as well as a wait-and-see attitude from customers on electric vehicles may slow down purchases and encourage potential customers to keep their vehicles longer.
- The classification by brand shows that Volkswagen remains the market leader with 31,059 units, ahead of Kia (30,028 units), Toyota (23,022 units), Peugeot (20,283 units), Skoda (20,215 units), BMW (18,662 units). ) and Ford (18,219 units).
- By groups, Volkswagen dominates the market with 74,543 units, ahead of Stellantis (51,236 units), Hyundai-Kia (43,428 units) and Renault-Nissan (29,351 units).
- The best-selling models were the Kia Niro (9,795 units), the Kia Picanto (7,499 units), the Volvo XC40 (7,242 units), the Volkswagen Polo (7,106 units), the Toyota Yaris (6,200 units) ) and the Toyota Aygo (5,543 units). The Netherlands is the only country in Europe where Kia places its models in the first two places in sales.
