South American Passenger Car Sales for 2015
In 2015, South American car sales continued to face challenges in several countries across the region.
Brazil’s car market, the largest in South America, experienced a significant decline in sales in 2015. The country faced a combination of economic and political challenges, including a recession, high inflation, rising unemployment rates, and political instability. These factors had a negative impact on consumer confidence and purchasing power, leading to a sharp contraction in car sales. This impact was felt across the region, where all but two of the markets saw a sharp decline in new passenger car sales.
