Review of automobile production in 2021 in Iran
- Iran's automobile production volume evolves according to the harshness of the economic sanctions imposed by Western countries (mainly the USA) on Iran. Automobile production thus suffers the repercussions of the economic sanctions, even if the population is the most affected by these sanctions.
- While automobile production peaked at 1.6 million vehicles in 2010 and 2011, it collapsed to 1.0 million units in 2012 and 0.65 million in 2013. It rose to 1.0 million in 2014 then 1.45 million in 2017 and collapsed again when the new Trump administration was installed in the United States and increased the harshness of sanctions vis-à-vis Iran. Iranian car production then fell to 0.75 million units in 2019 and 0.7 million in 2020. After Trump's departure, Iranian car production rose to 0.95 million units in 2021 (sanctions imposed to Iran lightened?). At the current rate, it will exceed 1.1 million units in 2022.
- The Iranian manufacturers Iran Khodro and SAIPA represent 59% of the country's automobile production in 2021, to which must be added the 31% represented by the production of Peugeot models made by Iran Khodro which are not counted at Stellantis.
- Chinese manufacturers represent only 10% of Iranian production.
- Currently, Iran Khodro (IKCO) manufactures 4 models and SAIPA 5 models whose photos are on the following page. These nine models represent nearly 60% of the Iranian market in 2021.
