Car Sales by Country
2019
F&I Tools key points: The top 5 world's largest automotive countries remained steady with a slight decrease in year over year sales. Brazil, Russia, Thailand, and Spain were the big winners last year, while Iran and Turkey were on the other side of the spectrum with vehicle sales taking a big hit from the political and economic disruptions in those countries.

Discrepancy in Numbers:
Pinpointing sold vehicles per country per year is not as simple as it may sound. We end up with ballpark numbers due to many factors: Are we counting fleet vehicles sold to businesses and rental companies in our list? Are we including heavy duty trucks in the list? Should Europe be considered in total, or should we consider each individual country within Europe separately? Should we list parent companies, or only list the brands they own? Are we counting the amount of vehicles that are shipped to dealers or are we counting the number of new car registrations? The goal is to count new vehicle registrations for automobiles purchased for personal use, but many other types of sales may end up in one set of data but not another. |
