Latvia Vehicles Market 2016 gained ground in double digit, fueled by the robust increase performed in the first half of the year. Toyota was the leader despite the feeble growth.

Market Outlook

Latvia’s economy bounced back in the final quarter of 2016 after plummeting to a multi-year low in the previous quarter due in large part to EU funding delays. However, over 2016 as a whole growth has disappointed, with the slow absorption of EU funds buffeting the economy of one of the largest net beneficiaries of the EU budget. FocusEconomics analysts surveyed this month expect GDP to increase 2.8% in 2017.

Meantime, the automotive market in 2016 recorded a strong increase in double digit, posting the best performance since 2010. Pushed up by the robust performance in the first half of the year, the total vehicles sold had been 18.729, improving 16.2%.

According to data released by the Auto Asociacjia, the Association of Car Manufacturers in Latvia, in December the vehicles passengers had been 1.399, up 11.7%.
