Global automotive production increased by 3.5% in 2021
- According to Inovev's calculations, global vehicle production (PC+LCV) increased by 3.5% in 2021, which is less than expected in 2020. According to manufacturers, the semiconductor crisis would be responsible for this situation (after a year 2020 marked by the coronavirus crisis), but it is possible that the sharp increase in the average price of cars will slow down purchases and encourage potential customers to keep their vehicle longer. Compared to 2019, global production (PC+LCV) is down 13%. The second half of 2021 was significantly worse than the first half of 2021, as the gap between sales volumes then increased compared to 2019 and even compared to 2020, but the month of December returned to the level of previous years, which bodes well for a gradual improvement in the situation.
- China, which is one of the few countries to see its production increase in 2021 (+3.3%), represents 33% of global automotive production, ahead of Europe 29 countries (17%), the United States (12%) and Japan (10%). These four markets represent 72% of global automotive production, with disparities in flows, since China imports and exports few vehicles, compared to the volume of its production, while Europe exports and imports a significant amount. of vehicles, that the United States imports far more than it exports (despite the performance of Tesla, which exported 92,000 vehicles last year) and that Japan exports far more than it imports (this country exports half of its production while Japanese manufacturers already have many factories transplanted abroad).
- For 2022, Inovev expects a 5% increase in global production.

Comparison of sales of European Premium manufacturers in 2021
- Premium manufacturers are brands specializing in high-end cars. In a global market growing by 3.5% in 2021 compared to 2020, to nearly 80 million units (VP+LCV), European Premium manufacturers represented 7.5 million vehicles, i.e. slightly less than 10% of worldwide sales. The sales growth of these manufacturers is slightly higher than that of all manufacturers, which means that the demand for this type of model is increasing.
- The BMW brand remains the European leader in this market, with 2,213,795 units (+9.1%), followed by Mercedes (2,054,962 units; -1.6%) and Audi (1,680,500 units; -0, 7%). Behind, the other brands are well behind. Volvo moved into fourth place (698,693 units; +5.6%), ahead of Land Rover (334,586 units; +3.4%), Porsche (301,900 units; +10.9%), Jaguar (86,270 units; -15.9%), DS (54,175 units; +5.2%), Alfa-Roméo (39,889 units; -30%), Maserati (20,000 units), Bentley (14,600 units), Ferrari (11,155 units), Lamborghini (8,405 units), Rolls-Royce (5,586 units), Aston-Martin (5,833 units) and Alpine (2,659 units).
- The non-European competitors of these Premium brands are having difficulty making progress, no doubt because of the reputation and age of the European brands in this category. Cadillac, Lincoln, Chrysler, Lexus, Infiniti and Acura are seeing their sales stagnate or even decline. On the other hand, the Californian brand Tesla almost doubled its sales in 2021 compared to 2020, but it still remains far from the European Premiums (936,000 sales). As for the Korean brand Genesis, it is barely emerging (200,000 sales) and is in the process of expanding its range to reach the level of its Japanese competitors.
