Overview of the Mexican market in 2015

 

The Mexican automobile market increased by 19.5% in 2015 to 1.17 million vehicles, beating a new sales record (the previous dating from 2006). Mexico takes advantage of the good economic situation observed in the NAFTA region (USA, Mexico, Canada) and a privileged position as the seventh largest producer worldwide (3.5 million vehicles produced in 2015). Mexico attracts more and more car manufacturers like Mazda, BMW or Daimler that have recently built new plants there.

The largest increases are to be credited to Korean manufacturers (Hyundai, Kia) and Japanese manufacturers (Toyota, Honda, Mazda) who had little presence until now in the Mexican market.

Overview of the car market Globally in 2015

 

The global car market increased by 1.5% in 2015, reaching a volume of just over 90 million units. This is the first time the world market exceeds the symbolic threshold of 90 million units, although growth is the lowest since 2010.

The reason behind this low growth: falling sales in key markets in terms of volume, such as Japan, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Thailand and Argentina. In addition, growth in China has been the lowest since 2012, which - in view of the volume of this market in the overall volume - has had a negative impact on all the results.

By manufacturer, the Toyota group (10.15 million units, 0.8%) remains the global market leader, ahead of the Volkswagen group (9.93 million units, -2.1%). Followed by the GM _ (9.84 million units, -0.8%), Renault-Nissan (8.49 million units, + 0.2%) and Hyundai-Kia groups (8.02 million units , + 0.1%). Among the top five manufacturers, only Renault-Nissan and Hyundai-Kia have managed to increase their sales in 2015, benefiting from a fresh line of popular products.

In 2016, global growth depends on the stimulus or lack of stimulus from markets such as Japan, Brazil, Russia, Indonesia, Thailand and Argentina. The level of growth of the Chinese market will also have an impact on the growth of the global market.
