Volkswagen Worldwide Sales Outlook

Volkswagen sales volume dropped significantly over the last four years, challenged by supply chain constraints and inventory depletions. However, profit margins have remained strong. 

2023 VW outlooks have revenue and profit holding steady with sales volume rebounding to 9 million units worldwide.

​VW is the 2nd largest automaker in the world and is expected to emerge as a leader in emerging EV markets, already displaying this pattern with electric vehicle sales topping 500,000 units last year, and projected to hit 1 million sales in 2023.
