Sales by segments in Europe and China in 2022: all engines
Inovev compared the segmentation of passenger cars (PCs) sold in Europe and China in 2021 and 2022.
 
The A-segment is becoming very marginal, both in Europe and in China. In Europe, it goes from 7% of the market in 2021 to 6% in 2022. Small cars are becoming increasingly rare. In China, the A-segment is growing from 4% of the market in 2021 to 5% in 2022. Unlike India, China is not a small car market.
 
The B-segment is one of the largest in Europe, with 36% of market share in 2021 and 35% in 2022. In China, it is very marginal, with 3% of Chinese passenger cars sales in 2021 and 3% in 2022.
 
The C-segment is, with the B-segment, one of the most important in Europe, with 36% of European PCs sales in 2021 and 37% in 2022. In China, it is also one of the most important, with 42% of Chinese PCs sales in 2021 and 41% in 2022.
 
The D-segment is not very important in Europe, with 15% of European PCs sales in 2021 and 16% in 2022. On the other hand, in China, it is the most important segment, with 47% of Chinese PCs sales in 2021 and 46% in 2022.
 
The C and D segments together represent 53% of sales in Europe, while they represent 87% of sales in China. Europe is a B-C segment car market (72% of total sales), while China is a C-D segment car market.
 
The E-segment is very weak in Europe (6% of total sales in 2021 and in 2022) and in China (4% of total sales in 2021 and 5% in 2022). Regarding the F-segment, it accounts for less than 1% of total sales in Europe and China.
Sales by segments in Europe and China in 2022: focus on BEVs
Inovev compared the segmentation of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) sold in Europe and China in 2021 and 2022.
 
The A-segment of BEVs (i.e. the smallest and cheapest car segment) is important in China, but has been declining sharply since last year, from 33% in 2021 to 26% in 2022. This segment is mainly represented by the Wuling Hong Guang Mini EV which represents almost half of the sales of this segment (572,000 sales in 2022). In Europe, the A-segment is more marginal but also declining: 15% in 2021 and only 11% in 2022.
 
The B-segment of BEVs is very marginal in Chinaas it represents only 5% in 2021 and 7% in 2022. In Europe, this segment is in decrease, going from 26% in 2021 to 20% in 2022. In fact, the European market favours sales of BEVs in the C and D segments.
 
The C segment of BEVs has increased from 30% in 2021 in Europe to 34% in 2022 and the D segment of BEVs has increased from 24% in Europe in 2021 to 28% in 2022. These two segments total 62% of BEVs sales in Europe in 2022, compared to 54% in 2021, while the two segments A and B fell to 31% in 2022 compared to 41% in 2021. In China, the C-segment remains lower than in Europe: 18% in 2021 and 21% in 2022.
 
D-Segment is predominant in China, accounting for 40% in 2021 and 39% in 2022.
 
The E-segment is marginal both in China and in Europeas it represents only 4% in 2021 in China and 6% in 2022, and 5% in 2021 in Europe and 7% in 2022.
The global top 20 producers of BEVs and PHEVs in 2022
Inovev has counted the top 20 carmakers of Battery Electric (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs) in the world in 2022.
 
In the BEV category, Tesla largely dominates its competitors, with a production volume of more than 1.35 million vehicles in 2022 compared to 930,000 in 2021 (+45%). But its market share has fallen from 21% to 19% in the BEV market as the competition has grown significantly. The total BEV market represented 7.28 million units in 2022 compared to 4.32 million units in 2021 (+69%). BYD is the second largest BEV carmaker, with 920,000 units produced in 2022 compared to 320,000 in 2021. The Chinese carmaker tripled its BEV sales last year. Next come the GM groups (680,000 units) thanks to Wuling, which alone accounts for 84% of the group's BEV sales, Volkswagen (520,000 units), Geely (360,000 units) and Renault-Nissan (340,000 units).
 
In the PHEV category, BYD largely dominates its competitors, with a volume of 940,000 units produced in 2022 against 270,000 in 2021. The Chinese carmaker tripled its PHEV sales last year. The Volkswagen (230,000 units), Geely (200,000), BMW (170,000) and Mercedes (160,000) groups follow.
 
If we combine BEVs and PHEVs, the leading carmaker is BYD with 1.86 million units produced in 2022, against 590,000 units in 2021. BYD is ahead of Tesla (1.35 million units), Volkswagen (750,000 units) and GM (690,000 units).
Sales by segments in Europe and China in 2022: focus on PHEVs
Inovev compared the segmentation of Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) sold in Europe and China in 2021 and 2022.
 
The A-segment of PHEVs does not exist because no carmaker offers plug-in hybrids on small cars either in China or in Europe.
 
The B-segment does not exist in China, but it does exist in Europe while being very marginal, representing only 5% of PHEV sales in 2021 as in 2022.
 
C-Segment is significant in China, accounting for 29% of PHEVs in 2021 and 34% in 2022, and much larger in Europe, accounting for 51% of PHEVs in 2021 and 54% in 2022.
 
The D-segment is predominant in China, 59% in 2021 and 52% in 2022, but we observe a decline in 2022 which benefits two-thirds for the C-segment (+5%) and one third for the E-segment (+2 %). In Europe, the D segment is important but less strong than the C-segmentas it represents 28% in 2021 and 26% in 2022.
 
The E-segment of PHEVs is less important, both in China and in Europeas it represents only 12% of PHEVs in China in 2021 and 14% in 2022, and about the same in Europe, with 16% in 2021 and 15% in 2022.
 
In the end, the PHEV market is a mid-size car market, the C and D segments representing 80% of its sales in Europe in 2022, and up to 86% in China in 2022.
The Stellantis plant in Eisenach will produce electric vehicles from 2024
The Stellantis site in Eisenach, located in eastern Germany, which has seen its production volume plummet over the past ten years, from 170,000 units in 2013 to 50,000 in 2022, will produce the new generation of the Opel Grandland(C-Segment SUV based on the same platform shared with the Peugeot 3008/Citroën C5-Aircross/DS 7 Crossbackwhich will be available in thermal, plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery electric (BEV) versions.
 
The future Opel Grandland will be launched in the second half of 2024 and will use the STLA Medium platform of the new generation of the Peugeot 3008 which will be presented at the end of 2023 for a launch onto the market in early 2024. This new platform, which replaces PSA's EMP2 platform, allows to produce on the same basis ICE, hybrid and electric vehicles.
 
Remember that the Opel brand (like its British cousin Vauxhall) has announced that it wants to completely switch to battery electric vehicles production from 2028. What is the share of electrified vehicles at Opel in 2022? Last year, the Corsa-e, Astra-e, Combo-e, Vivaro-e and Movano-e models accounted for a 17% share of Opel's total sales, including 14% BEV and 3% PHEV.
 
This proportion is close to what we have at BMW (18% of electrified vehicles including 11% of BEV and 7% of PHEV) and is better than Mercedes (13% of electrified vehicles including 6% of BEV and 7% of PHEV). It is above all better than Volkswagen, which is the direct competitor of Opel (10% of electrified vehicles including 7% of BEV and 3% of PHEV). Finally, it is comparable to Ford Europe (17% of electrified vehicles including 4% of BEV and 13% of PHEV), except that the share of BEV and PHEV are reversed compared to those of Opel.
