2023 7-month review - Car market FRANCE

After an increase in the first half of the year, the French car market is continuing its momentum with a further significant increase in July, bringing the first seven months of the year to an increase in sales of 15.8% to 1,018,722 units. However, behind this apparent improvement, the level of the French market remains very much below that of 2019, as sales over the same period are 23.90% lower than in 2019.

Overall, Stellantis' sales increased by 2.6% to 294,552 units, giving it a market share of 28.9%, making it the market leader ahead of the Renault group (25.4%). While Citroën's sales were almost stable in the first half of the year, the new drop in sales in July means that the brand is now in negative territory for the first seven months of the year.
