in the second quarter of 2021 in the UK bought 2.17 million cars with mileage – it is 108.6 percent more than a year earlier. Such data leads to the British Society of Automakers and Traders (SMMT).
Compared to 2019, the growth was 6.6 percent. For this period, the indicator is maximum: it is close to an absolute maximum for the British market in any quarter.
Almost all cars that have fallen into statistics have a gasoline or diesel engine – 96.4 percent of sales. The record of cars over three years old – 81.3 percent.
In the report, the trend is explained not only to the removal of quarantine, but also problems with new cars. Due to the shortage of autocomponents around the world, manufacturers cannot satisfy demand. In June, 498,923 cars have been released in the kingdom, which is 38.4 percent less than average over the past five years.
previously analysts predicted that the Russian car market in the coming months will continue to fall due to decline in production. Prices in the third quarter can grow by 1-1.5 percent.
