If you have already had the opportunity to visit our German neighbors, you will see that the vast majority drive their cars from there, from BMW to Audi to Volkswagen. It’s the same in Italy with Fiat, and in the Czech Republic almost everyone drives a Skoda. So we inevitably expect the same to happen in France. But a short tour of the street proves to us that this is not necessarily the case, and foreign cars are popular. And this is also visible in sales figureswhich French women are not famous for

Less popular

According to the data of the analyst Felipe Muñoz, who works for Specialized company Jato, French brands are no longer as successful as they used to be. For this, the latter compared the market shares of the latter between 1989 and 2023. And the least we can say is that things have changed, and not necessarily in a good direction. Indeed, Peugeot’s market share increased from 21% to 15% between the two dates. Renault, meanwhile, fell from 29 to 16%, while Citroën limited the breakdown somewhat, from 12 to 7%. Now French brands make up only 34%.

What brands?

But then how to explain this decline when even some brands like Volkswagen are also falling? To find that out, you need to look for Dacia, which has seen its market share skyrocket to 10% in France, whereas in 1989 it didn’t exist here. In addition, you should also take into account the Tesla account, as well as Asian manufacturers such as Kia and Hyundai which are also a hit in France. In short, the tri-color brands still have some work to do before they regain their lost supremacy…
