The Argentinian market is down 19.3% in 2021 compared to 2019

- The Argentinian automotive market represented 240,676 sales of passenger cars plus 114,820 sales of commercial vehicles in 2021, i.e. a total of 355,496 units, compared to 323,692 in 2020 and 440,330 in 2019. This market therefore grew by 9.8%. compared to 2020 but remains down 19.3% compared to 2019.

- As everywhere else, the crisis in the supply of semiconductors for the automotive industry has contributed to production at a measured rate (depending on supplies) which has resulted in a highly constrained automotive market. The level reached in 2020 and 2021 remains very low, practically at the level of the early 2000s.

- Passenger car sales decreased from 333,262 units in 2019 to 232,128 in 2020 and 240,676 in 2021.

- Commercial vehicle sales increased from 107,068 units in 2019 to 94,564 in 2020 and 114,820 in 2021.

- By brand, Toyota now dominates the Argentinian market in 2021, with 73,567 sales, which represents a spectacular increase of 68.6% compared to the volume of 2020 which had not exceeded 43,631 units. At the time, Toyota was behind Volkswagen, which was the leader of the Argentinian market. In 2021, Volkswagen moved into second place, with 55,457 sales. This is followed by Fiat (50,377 units), Renault (35,355 units), Ford (29,221 units), Chevrolet (27,304 units), Peugeot (27,186 units), Nissan (15,770 units) and Citroën (12,436 units). The Stellantis group is the leader in the Argentinian market, with a 25% market share in 2021.

The Chrysler brand would become 100% electric in 2028

- After the announcement of the switch to all-electric for the following brands of the Stellantis group: Abarth in 2024, DS in 2024, Maserati in 2025, Lancia in 2026, Alfa-Roméo in 2027, Opel in 2028, Fiat in 2030 and Peugeot in 2030, the manufacturer has just announced that the American brand Chrysler will in turn become 100% electric in 2028.

- Currently, the American brand, which is in the luxury car category in North America, almost at the level of Lincoln or Cadillac, now only offers two models: a sedan (300) and a minivan (Pacifica).

- The brand has announced that it will remove the 300 sedan from its production program in 2023, a model that will then be twelve years old. Only the Pacifica minivan will remain, which should be renewed in 2026, a model that will then be ten years old. The rejuvenation of the range will go above all through the launch of the 100% electric Chrysler Airflow in 2024 (a name from the history of the brand) whose concept was unveiled in January 2022. This model will use the STLA Large platform of Stellantis.

- It is possible that the new generation of the Pacifica minivan planned for 2026 will be 100% electric, unless a plug-in hybrid version is renewed until 2028. In 2028, the models sold by Chrysler will all be 100% electric.

- Within the Stellantis group, therefore, only Citroën, Dodge and Jeep remain, which have not yet announced when their range will switch entirely to 100% electric. For Ram utilities, nothing has been decided either, but the Promaster derived from the Fiat Ducato will be offered in 100% electric like its Italian twin and the 1500 pick-up will be available in 2024 in a new electric version.

Tesla sold nearly a million cars worldwide in 2021

- The Californian manufacturer Tesla, which specializes in the production of electric cars, sold 936,172 vehicles worldwide in 2021, which represents an increase of 87.4% compared to 2020. Indeed, Tesla's sales in 2020 had not exceeded 499,550 units, which already represented an increase of 36.9% compared to 2019, while the year 2020 had been seriously affected by the coronavirus crisis, and the global automotive market had fallen by more than 15% that year.

- Tesla benefited from the growing global demand for electric vehicles, a suitable range of electric cars (2 sedans and 2 different segment SUVs) and the start-up of its factory in China, a country where the demand for electric cars is very high, strong and which today represents more than half of the brand's production.

- Tesla also has a head start on its competitors in that its range of electric cars has developed earlier (since 2012). It should also be added that the rental company Hertz has ordered 100,000 Tesla, which will be delivered in 2022 and 2023, which will further increase the brand's production volume.

- Sales in 2021 focused on the Model 3 and Y which accounted for 911,208 sales, with the more expensive Model S and X accounting for just 24,964 sales. The upcoming arrival of the Model 2 should boost Tesla's business, especially since the brand will soon have a third factory, located this time in Germany.

Ssangyong changes hands again

- The Korean manufacturer Ssangyong, which specializes in SUVs, is once again changing ownership.

- Created in 1954 and having started car manufacturing in 1988, Ssangyong was taken over in 1997 by its compatriot Daewoo. In the year 2000, Daewoo was taken over by GM, which refused to take over Ssangyong, as it already had many SUVs in its range. In 2004, Ssangyong was taken over by the Chinese SAIC, but the Korean manufacturer went bankrupt in 2009, following the subprime crisis which affected many car manufacturers. SAIC then separated from Ssangyong, which was bought in 2011 by the Indian Mahindra, also specializing in SUVs. But the Korean manufacturer went bankrupt again in 2020 following losses accumulated over fifteen quarters and production dropping from 150,000 units in 2015 to 133,000 in 2019, 107,000 in 2020 and 77,000 in 2021. In January 2022, a consortium led by Edison Motors buys Ssangyong from Mahindra.

- Ssangyong is therefore returning to its country of origin since Edison Motors is a Korean manufacturer of electric buses.

- The objective of this company is therefore to switch the Ssangyong brand to all-electric (today this brand does not offer any electric model) between 2025 and 2028, and thus compete with Tesla and Volkswagen.

- The Korando will be the first model of the brand to receive a 100% electric motor, then this type of motorization will be generalized to all of the brand's models. Edison Motors plans to launch 10 new models by 2025 and 20 new models by 2030. The stimulus program is ambitious.

The European PC market (29 countries) fell by 25.5% in 2021 compared to 2019

- The European market (European Union + Great Britain + Switzerland + Norway) for passenger cars fell by 1.5% in 2021 compared to 2020 and by 25.5% compared to 2019, since the year 2020 had already experienced a drop of 24.3% compared to 2019. The European market has therefore stabilized at a low point, due to both the health crisis and the semiconductor crisis, but it is also likely that the strong increase in the average price of cars as well as customer wait-and-see attitude towards electric vehicles is slowing down purchases and encouraging potential customers to keep their car longer or to buy a second-hand car.

- The levels for 2020 and 2021 are therefore lower than those for 2012 and 2013, which had been particularly mediocre. Actuelly we get back to the 1986 level… For 2022, Inovev foresees a slight revival of the European market, with an increase of nearly 5%.

- In 2021, the Volkswagen group has a 25% market share, ahead of Stellantis (20%), Renault-Nissan (12%), Hyundai-Kia (9%), BMW (7%), Toyota (6%) and Daimler (6%). Ford is the manufacturer that suffered the most in 2021 (-20%), with the Renault-Nissan group (-13%) which suffered from the collapse of Mitsubishi (-29%). On the contrary, some manufacturers are seeing their sales progress, such as Tesla (+71%), Hyundai-Kia (+21%), Toyota (+9%), Suzuki (+9%), BMW (+1%), Volvo (+ 1%) and all Chinese manufacturers (+127%) which registered 82,500 cars in Europe in 2021.

- By model, the Volkswagen Golf remains the European market leader in 2021, but it is now closely followed by the Peugeot 208, Peugeot 2008, Renault Clio and Dacia Sandero. The precise figures will only be known in a month.
