The Brazilian market is down 24.0% in 2021 compared to 2019
- The Brazilian automotive market remained at a very low level in 2021 compared to 2019 (-24.0%), a level which remains very slightly higher than that of 2020 (+3.0%). Brazil registered 1,557,957 passenger cars and 561,597 commercial vehicles last year, or 2,119,554 units in total, compared to 2,058,437 in 2020 and 2,788,000 in 2019. This is the lowest figure recorded since 2016, after that of 2020. We have to go back to 2005-2006 to observe even lower figures.
- The reasons given for this very low level of registrations in 2021 are announced by the manufacturers as relating to the deficient supply of the semiconductors they need.
