The Swiss market shrinks by 23.4% in 2021 compared to 2019
- The Swiss automotive market (passenger cars) remained at a very low level in 2021 compared to 2019 (-23.4%), a level which remains very slightly higher compared to 2020 (+ 0.7%). In total, Switzerland registered 238,480 passenger cars last year, up from 236,828 in 2020 and 311,466 in 2019. This is the lowest figure in several decades, after 2020.
- The reasons given for this very low level of registrations in 2021 relate to the lack of supply of the semiconductors that automakers need to make their cars marketable.
- But it could be that the sharp increase in the average price of cars as well as a wait-and-see attitude from customers on electric vehicles may slow down purchases and encourage potential customers to keep their vehicles longer.
- The ranking by brands shows that Volkswagen remains the market leader, with 25,845 units, but the Premium brands are just behind, as in Germany. Mercedes sold 21,587 units, BMW 20,933 units and Audi 17,033 units.
- By groups, Volkswagen is the Swiss market leader in 2021 (78,456 units), ahead of BMW (25,432 units), Stellantis (25,300 units), Daimler (21,986 units) and Renault-Nissan (19,695 units).
- The best-selling models were the Skoda Octavia (4,248 units), the Tesla Model 3 (3,978 units), the Audi Q3 (3,663 units), the Volkswagen Tiguan (3,430 units), the Fiat 500 (3 384 units) and the Toyota Yaris (3,276 units). The Volkswagen Golf collapsed in favor of the new Volkswagen ID3 and ID4 which replaced it in 2021 (3,375 units against 2,988 for the Golf).

The Norwegian market increases by 24.8% compared to 2019 and becomes 64.5% electric
- The Norwegian automotive market represented 176,276 passenger car sales in 2021, against 141,412 in 2020 and 142,381 in 2019. Norway is one of the few countries to see its sales increase in 2021 compared to 2019 (+ 24.8%), setting a new record. This market is very specific in the sense that it is the most electrified in Europe. Indeed, 113,715 of new cars sold last year were battery-powered vehicles (BEVs), representing a share of 64.5% compared to 54.3% in 2020.
- Norway is therefore not only the largest producer of hydrocarbons in Europe, but also the country which purchases the highest proportion of electric cars. Indeed, the European average is around 10% of the market. Norway is therefore in line with its target of 100% electric cars sold by 2025.
- In this context, the Tesla brand (which only sells 100% electric cars) becomes the Norwegian market leader for the first time in 2021, with 20,397 units (11.6% of total sales), ahead of Volkswagen (16,926 units). ), Toyota (15,807 units), Volvo (13,707 units), BMW (11,119 units) and Audi (10,355 units). The Tesla Model 3 is the best-selling model in Norway in 2021.
- By groups, Volkswagen is well ahead of all its competitors with a market share of 22% in 2021.
- Recall that unlike gasoline and diesel cars, electric cars are tax free in Norway, making them comparatively cheaper to buy. They also enjoy multiple advantages in the country, even if the authorities are starting to remove some (such as free urban tolls or free parking).

The US market is down 11.6% in 2021 compared to 2019

The US market is down 11.6% in 2021 compared to 2019
- The US automobile market (passenger cars and light trucks) remained at a fairly high level in 2021 compared to 2020, since we remained above 15 million registrations, at 15,079,182 units against 14,537,086 units in 2020, which represents an increase of 3.7%. But this volume remains lower than the volumes recorded between 2015 and 2019, which were over 17 million units. The figures for 2021 are therefore down 11.6% compared to 2019, this decline being however less marked than that recorded in Europe over the same period.
- The US market has not yet fully entered the electric era, compared to Europe and China, which may have a positive influence on the level of registrations. (due to the high price of electric vehicles). Electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) only represent 9% of the market in the United States against 19% in Europe.
- Out of all US registrations in 2021, SUVs represented 7.945 million units (53% of the market), sedans and coupes 3.675 million units (24% of the market), pickups 2.835 million units (19% of the market), minivans 0.325 million units (2% of the market) and vans 0.300 million units (2% of the market).
- For the first time, the Toyota group takes first place among manufacturers in the United States, ahead of GM, Ford and Stellantis. This situation is the most convincing result of the abandonment of sedans by American manufacturers, the sedan market having been completely recovered by Japanese, Korean and European manufacturers.

The Dutch market shrinks by 27.6% in 2021 compared to 2019
- The Dutch automotive market (passenger cars) remained at a very low level in 2021 compared to 2019 (-27.6%), a level which is even lower than that of 2020 (-10.0%). In total, the Netherlands registered 322,831 passenger cars last year, up from 358,330 in 2020 and 446,114 in 2019. This is the lowest figure in decades.
- The reasons given for this very low level of registrations in 2021 relate to the lack of supply of the semiconductors that automakers need to make their cars marketable.
- But it could be that the sharp increase in the average price of cars as well as a wait-and-see attitude from customers on electric vehicles may slow down purchases and encourage potential customers to keep their vehicles longer.
- The classification by brand shows that Volkswagen remains the market leader with 31,059 units, ahead of Kia (30,028 units), Toyota (23,022 units), Peugeot (20,283 units), Skoda (20,215 units), BMW (18,662 units). ) and Ford (18,219 units).

Chinese carmakers may sell 200 000 cars in Europe in 2023

Chinese carmakers may sell 200 000 cars in Europe in 2023
- The market share of all Chinese-branded cars (and produced in China) will not exceed 0.7% of total European registrations in 2021, a level comparable to that of Mitsubishi or Honda sales in Europe. However, their sales have been growing steadily in Europe since 2020, when most of the Chinese brands currently present there entered this market.
- The sales of these Chinese cars which had reached a peak of 3,500 units in July 2020, then 6,000 units in September 2020, gradually reached 8,000 units in June 2021, 10,000 units in September 2021 and 12,000 units in November 2021. They will probably reach 82,000 units over the whole of 2021, against 30,000 units in 2020. The increase over one year is therefore + 173%.
- 8% of Chinese cars sold in Europe are either battery electric cars (BEV), with 44,000 sales or rechargeable hybrids (PHEV) with 22,000 sales.
- Today, Chinese brands are mainly represented by three brands: MG (47,000 sales over 11 months 2021), Polestar (16,000 units) and Lynk & Co (5,300 units), i.e. 95% of Chinese car sales in Europe in 2021. But the other seven Chinese brands present on the European market arrived only a few months ago and are all looking to develop in this market, so their share should logically increase next year.
- A forecast of more than 100,000 Chinese cars sold in Europe in 2022 is therefore entirely possible. Inovev even predicts 130,000 to 150,000 sales next year and 200,000 sales in 2023.
