He automotive market is going through the last days of operations with a demand better than expected a year ago. The patents 0km are showing a good pace in December.
With eight out of twenty business days computed, the increase compared to 2023 is 53% but these are not very representative data. since the flow of records is very variable and there are many days left to add
In these ways, they are the numbers that appear in the statistics system of the automobile dealer association (ACARA).
The percentage to take into account is the annual accumulated one, which shows a decline of 8.3%, although with a downward trend. At the beginning of the year, when the impact of the December devaluation was just being felt, sector projections spoke of a collapse of more than 20% in sales.
The trend changed in the second semester and today a different reality is perceived. It could even be better if it weren’t for some problems that slow down operations such as the strike at the Automotive Registry that occurred in November and the lack of metal plates that prevent cars from being patented.
Last month was complicated by the problems that occurred in the Automotive Registry, due to the strike of the ATE union.
In some imported brands they recognized until the last days of November that they still had problems with the certificates, which caused some units to not be patented.
During the days of strike in the Automotive Registration No imported 0km entered, but on November 20, 5,000 units were released all together and that caused the system to be saturated and several units were not patented.
Beyond these figures of patents registered at the beginning of December, estimates in the sector indicate that the month will end with a volume of operations of more than 22,000 units.
In this way, if this information is confirmed, it would be the best December in six years. You would have to go back to 2018 to find a better December. As for the annual market, the final number for 2024 should be close to 410,000 units. Also in these five days you can see how the automakers began the final race of 2024.
Toyota closes the year as sales leader
As for brands, toyota will close the year, once again, as the market leader. Throughout the year, 81,622 units have been sold, which represents a 21.8% share.
Secondly, it is located Volkswagenwith 62,298 0km patented and 16.8% market share.
The third place is also defined and will be for FIATwith 43,717 units and 12.3% penetration-
The fourth place, for now, is not assured for Peugeotsince it has 9.5% of the market, but Ford is in fifth place with 9.1%. The operations in units, until yesterday, were 36,164 and 34,433, respectively. It seems difficult for Ford to close that gap, but it is an open end. Even Renault, with 33,614 units and 8.9% of the market, may end up surpassing the oval brand.
The rest of the top ten is made up of Chevrolet, Citroën, Jeep and Nissan.
Yes ok toyota will lead sales in 2024 by brandStellantis – that markets Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën and Jeep – will be the group with the highest sales volume.
