- Over the first 10 months of 2023, the world purchased more than 60 million “Non-Electrified” passenger cars (vehicles excluding BEV, PHEV and FHEV but including MHEV), including 31 million in China alone, in Europe and the United States. These three countries therefore represent a little more than half of the “Non-Electrified” passenger cars sold worldwide.
- China purchased 13 million over the first 10 months of 2023 compared to 13.5 million over the first 10 months of 2022 and 14 million over the first 10 months of 2021. Their number is decreasing from year to year, but only slightly. “Non-Electrified” vehicles represent 64% of the Chinese PC market this year compared to 69.3% in 2022 and 81.5% in 2021. China is the world’s leading “Non-Electrified” market in 2023, as in 2022 and 2021, representing this year 22% of global sales of “Non-Electrified”.
- Europe (EU + UK + Norway + Switzerland) purchased 7.4 million “Non-Electrified” units over the first 10 months of 2023, compared to 6.6 million over the first 10 months of 2022 and 7.7 million over the first 10 months of 2021. Sales of “Non-Electrified” vehicles therefore increased between 2022 and 2023. “Non-Electrified” vehicles represent 69% of the European PC market this year compared to 69.7% in 2022 and 75.2 % in 2021.
- The United States, for its part, purchased 10.5 million “Non-Electrified” units over the first 10 months of 2023, compared to 10 million over the first 10 months of 2022 and 11.5 million over the first 10 months of 2021. “Non-Electrified” represent 82.7% of the US market this year compared to 87.2% in 2022 and 90.6% in 2021. As in Europe, the sales decline of “Non-Electrified” slows down in 2023, due to the revival of the markets.
