1.9 million cars sold over 6 months

During the first half of 2019, the PSA group strengthened its position, taking a share of 17.4%, despite a drop in the market (-2.4%), thereby showing growth in all major markets, in particular in Italy (+ 1.1%), France (+ 0.7%), the UK (+ 0.2%), Germany (+ 0.1%) and Spain (+ 0.1%). This was reported in the PSA group on July 15, 2019.

Such statistics are due to the excellent results of Citroon, which set a sales record over the past 8 years with the most significant growth among 12 brands. As a result, Mark increased its market share by 0.3% in the European market, in particular due to the success of its line of crossovers (C5 Aircross and C3 Aircross).

Opel/Vauxhall has continued its development since the fall of 2018, gradually increasing market share: France (+ 0.2%), the UK (+ 0.2%), Italy (+ 0.7%).

Peugeot's market share in Europe remains stable. In addition to successful sales of 3008/5008 crossovers, the Peugeot 508 and the start of sales of the 508 SW t station wagon contributed: the liftback sedan 508 remains the most popular car in its segment in France since launch.

In the falling Chinese market, sales decreased by 62.1%. The DS brand has retained its market share. The PSA Group is working with its partners to develop plans to address current challenges and reduce the breakeven point of joint ventures.

The expansion of the electrification presence will be realized thanks to the launch of the Peugeot 508L PHEV rechargeable hybrid, as well as the electric versions of Peugeot 2008 and DS3 CROSSBACK by 2020. In addition, the export of the Peugeot 3008 and Peugeot 5008 models from Malaysia, the NAM plant, begins.

PSA Group sales in Latin America declined by 29.3% in the face of a strong decline in the Argentine market (-50.3%). However, the group stabilized market share in Brazil due to the success of the C4 Cactus crossover and the introduction of light commercial vehicles to the market. The Group maintained its position in Chile and improved it in Mexico in the face of shrinking markets. Opel shows steady sales growth in this region.

Crossovers and updated models can set a positive trend: Citroon C5 Aircross and Peugeot 2008, as well as Citroon C4, Peugeot Rifter. DS 3 CROSSBACK will also be on sale soon. It is planned to strengthen the presence in LCV due to the recent launch of sales of light commercial vehicles under the brands Peugeot, Citroon and Opel.

PSA Group continues to show steady sales growth in Japan (+ 16%). In India, the group announced the launch of the Citroon brand in April and began production of transmissions (Hosur plant) with its partner AVTEC Ltd (CK Birla Group Co.).
