Ireland Vehicles Market in November is grounded, while the year to date tally remained robust. Hyundai kept the leadership with a narrow gap from Volkswagen.
Market Outlok
The encouraging quarterly data, however, was once again largely driven by the financial activities of multinational corporations in the country. The labor market consolidated further in November after the unemployment rate dropped to a multi-year low, and the manufacturing PMI rose to a post-Brexit high.
After the sharp decline posted in October, the domestic vehicles market reported an impressive slowdown, hitting the worst performance of the year.
According to data released by the S.I.M.I. the Society of Irish Car Manufacturers, the car passengers sales in October and November had been respectively 2.253 (-12.0%) and 747 (-21.2%).
Year to date November, total cars passenger sold had been 146.235, up 17.3%.
