Registrations for December were -12% and +25% in total. 2021 have been healthy but stock issues appear to be biting. Registrations exceeded the 21st century average without difficulty but in context that is still well short of figures prior to that. The '+/-' column below is comparing market share variance for 2021 with 2020. Many with a minus differential are in fact up but they lost share.
The top brands generally did well, with a poor patch in the middle and the lower end is a mixed bag. Toyota continued on its merry way as the top selling brand, although Peugeot is well placed just behind it. VW and Nissan dropped in terms of share, as did Škoda and Renault. Both Hyundai and Kia are making hay which makes one wonder in what way the chip affects each brand. Mazda has been in and out of the market and another attempt at reestablishing itself is now underway.
Rechargeable passenger cars made up 7% of the market with just under 7,000 units sold. That compares with 2,100 and 2.6% a year earlier.
