Medium-Term Market Trend

In the last decade the Chilean vehicles market has had many ups and downs. From 2011 to 2015 the market fluctuated in the low 200k range. First rising to a maximum of 263,146 in 2013 to then fall down to a minimum of 211,810 in 2015. By the end of 2016 the vehicles market in Chile had already gained 9.0% compared to the previous year, with 2017 following suit growing 52.5% and 2018 reporting a peak of 372,646 sales. 2019 marked the end of this 3 year uptrend, with sales reaching 369,864 but the end of the year.

The arrival of the pandemic in 2020 caused the market to drop 29.9% back down to 259,299.

It is clear that the issues faced during the pandemic weren’t due to structural problems in the industry, in fact, in 2021 the market reported an amazing growth, gaining 60.3% up to an all time high of 415,612 sales. The positive momentum continued into 2022, that totaled 425,856 new registrations, a 2.5% growth from the prior year. Despite the new-all time high, the second half of the 2022 strongly underperformed, with the last 5 months of the year posting losses.

 A combination of factors are behind the current industry struggle: the disruption in the global supply chain caused by a lack of raw materials, in particular for the production of microchips and Governments push towards Evs, an expensive alternative for low income consumers. At the moment affects from this last point are very mild, due to the low adoption of BEVs in South American countries (0.45% of total market share in South America).

Tables with sales figures

In the tables below we report sales for all Brands and Top 10 Manufacturers Group.

Market Trend and Outlook

Brazil’s economy has been surprisingly resilient this year. Deloitte states: “Inflation-adjusted wages continue to grow at a relatively rapid clip as consumer price growth slowed. More recently, the labor market has tightened, and consumer confidence has soared. As a result, consumer spending is growing at a respectable rate. Pushing inflation lower will be more challenging from here. A lack of improvement on the inflation front will likely restrain consumer spending as real wage growth and interest-rate cuts slow.”

This growth in consumer spending has pushed the Brazilian Vehicles Market higher and higher, with sales in October 2023 increasing for the 5th month in a row and new registrations reaching 209,669 (+22.7%). YTD figures at 1.74 million are up 11.6% from the previous year.

Looking at cumulative data up to October 2023 brand-wise, Fiat reports the most sales at 384,467 (+12.0%), followed by Volkswagen -up 1 spot- at 271,322 (+3.18%) and Chevrolet -down 1 spot- with 268,596 sales (+16.1%).

In 4th ranks Toyota with 157,179 sales (+2.8%), followed by Hyundai at 144,378 (-6.8%), Jeep with 106,709 (-3.2%), Renault with 99,222 (-1.8%), Honda with 59,844 (+32.6%) and Nissan with 59,173 sales (+32.7%).

Peugeot maintains 10th spot, reporting 28,162 new vehicle registrations (-18.5%).

Looking at specific models the Fiat Strada maintains leadership as the best selling car, despite growing just 4.8% in year-on-year volume. The Volkswagen Polo follows in second, up 58 spots in the rankings.

Medium-Term Market Trend

The Brazilian vehicles market has had a few ups and downs in the past decade, with 2012 registering the highest levels for the following years. Previously, starting in 2010, the market rose for two consecutive years reaching 3.6 million sales in 2012. In 2013 the Brazilian market began a 4 year negative trend falling a maximum of 25.6% in 2015 and reaching 2 million sales in 2016. Luckily from 2017 to 2019 sales grew,  reaching 2.7 million sales.

In 2020 The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe human suffering and triggered a deep recession in Brazil. The demand for consumer’s goods declined and light vehicles sales fell below the 2 million mark, first time in the decade.

Although the economy recovered in 2021 (GDP +5.0%) the basic trend was still weak. In fact, 2022 slowed down 0.9% with inflation rates jumping up and the demand remaining weak.

Projections for 2023 are not looking good due to the continuous price increases in parallel with the adoption of more safety rules and the shift towards electrification. This being said the overall trend in the first months of 2023 has been positive and the momentum gained in the last months of 2022 is continuing into the this year.

Despite the great performance in the last few years, there are a few factors that  will put negative pressure on the market throughout 2023: the disruption in the global supply chain caused by a lack of raw materials, in particular for the production of microchips and the Governments push towards Evs. This last point isn’t as important now as it will be in the future, considering that currently only 0.45% of market share in South America belongs to BEVs.

Market Trend and Outlook

The Colombian economy, registered as the 4th largest in Latin America, has experienced a strong  growth in the last decade. Despite GDP strongly rising at 7.3 percent in 2022, the economy overheated with activity above the potential, an accelerated inflation, and a high current account deficit. As the unwinding of repressed consumption comes to an end, continued monetary and fiscal tightening continues, and external demand remain weak.

This negative outlook on the economy is reflected in the Colombian vehicle market, which in September 2023 falls for the 12th consecutive month, reporting 15,611 new sales (-34.7%). YTD figures at 134,500 are down 31.2% from the previous year.

2021 was a great year of recovery for the Colombian market that grew 36.1% to 271,835 sales. The projections for 2022 show that the year will end on a positive note, continuing the uptrend started in the previous year. Despite the good news, there are a few issues in the automotive industry that are going to affect the Colombian market in the future: the disruption in the global supply chain caused by a lack of raw materials, in particular for the production of microchips and Governments push towards Evs, an expensive alternative for low income consumers. At the moment affects from this last point are very mild, due to the low adoption of BEVs in South American countries (0.45% of total market share in South America).
