It grows 4.21% of the car market in Italy in 2014. This is shown by the data on registrations released by the Ministry of Transport. Growing, with sales to share 91 518, in December (+ 2.35% compared to 2013), although at a slower pace on the + 4.95% in November. “After six years of crisis – comments Gian Primo Quagliano President of Centro Studi Promotor – 2014 is the first positive year.”
The cars registered in Italy were 1,359,616. A number, Quagliano adds, “lower than in 2007 by 45.5%. The land to be recovered to return to normal levels of the market is therefore still very long. ”
The Chrysler Fiat Group Automobiles registered in 2014 377 thousand cars, 0.75% more than in 2013, with a market share of 27.7 percent.
That December, recalls the Anfia, joined the supply chain of the car, “is the seventh consecutive monthly increase, although volumes are still low for this month.” “This end of the year can be read as a sign of encouragement – commented Roberto Vavassori, President of ANFIA – for an industry that for years has accused the blows of the economic crisis and needs, for its own preservation and revitalization, restore physiological levels of market for a country like ours, or around 1.8 million units a year. ”
One thing to interpret for Federauto: “Compared to 2013 we recorded a + 4.2%, but compared to 2012, which everyone considers a horrible year, we lost still a -2.9%. That’s why you have to weigh and contextualize a given that it would seem positive, but it is not, “emphasizes the president Filippo Pavan Bernacchi.
For the Centro Studi Promotor, however, is not the result of a turnaround of the economy, but rather a consequence of the “irreplaceable role of the automobile in the transport system of our country.” The progressive aging of the vehicle fleet has meant that “many Italians with cars no longer able to perform their functions were eventually forced to replace them. These “forced bundling replacements” began in 2014 and will continue in 2015, regardless of the economic recovery. ” This year, provides Quagliano, registrations should share touching 1,430,000 units, up by 5.18% to the result of 2014.
A separate chapter deserve the measures to support the industry has long relied on by manufacturers and sales network. With a start to the year which saw the one hand sterilization dellaumento duties on fuel due to come into force from January 1 and on the other, the usual increase in highway tolls, to the extent of 1.5%, increase .
“You can not ignore the elements of weakness that still characterize our market,” he added Vavassori, referring for example to the company car market, “suffers from unfair taxation compared to that of other major European markets’, as well as to individuals: “The loss of purchasing power of households, it adds, as an aggravating factor, the tightening of taxation on the car.”
It also grows the used market, with 4,248,229 Transfer of ownership of used cars registered in 2014, 2.58% more than in January-December 2013.
Looking to Europe, there is the disappointing result of France, which reported in 2014 an increase of just 0.3% after reaching, in 2013, the lowest level for 15 years, as announced by Committee of French Automobile Manufacturers (CCFA). In Spain, registrations were up 18.4% from a year ago, at an altitude of 855 308 units, thanks to the push of the facilities introduced
