Estonia Vehicles sales in 2015 had been shy losing terrain from the previous year. Several market scored strong increase with Nissan as fastest growing brand and Renault up 26% advancing in third place.
Economic Outlook
Economic growth in Estonia is being constrained by the uneven recovery in Europe and the woes Russia is facing. Hopes for an export-led recovery in 2016 are dim as latest figures released by Statistics Estonia point to a complicated scenario. Exports in November contracted 3.8% annually, which marked the fifth consecutive decline.
The drop reflected a decrease in electronic products and shipments to Estonia’s main trading partner, namely member-states from the European Union and Russia. Moreover, industrial output tallied the biggest contraction since November 2009 in December. Meanwhile, as Estonian energy companies are slashing jobs, the government is considering to request EU support funds.
Plunging oil prices have put pressure on Estonia’s shale oil industry and additional layoffs are plausible as the downward trend in oil prices continued in the first weeks of 2016.
Market Outlook
According to data released by the Estonian Road Administration (E.R.A.), in the 2015 sales of vehicles in Estonia declined at 20.349 units, down 3.0% from the previous year, that was the best since 2008.
In the year consumer’s demand was shy towards all products but few brands managed to score a respectable performance. Renault advanced in third place gaining 26.4% from the previous year and Nissan in 4th gained 36.4%. Opel in 11th place was up 43.8% and was followed by Hyundai, up 24.2%.
