Australia / Oceania Passenger Car Sales for 2013
Overall, 2014 presented a mixed performance for car sales in Australia and Oceania. While Australia experienced a decline in sales, New Zealand demonstrated strong growth in car sales. Factors such as economic conditions, government policies, and consumer confidence influenced the car sales trends in each country. Car sales in Australia in 2014 showed a decline compared to the previous year. A total of 566,454 new vehicles were sold, marking a decrease of approximately 1.8% compared to 2013. The decline in sales was primarily attributed to factors such as a decline in manufacturing, the end of government stimulus measures, and economic uncertainty.
