#26 In EuropeThe European motor vehicle wholesaling and retailing industry’s revenue is forecast to slump at a compound annual rate of 5.1% over the five years through 2024 to €1,321.8 billion, with a projected decline of 1.9% in 2024. The COVID-19 pandemic stalled demand for new car sales as many showrooms temporarily closed in line with social distancing restrictions and financial uncertainty dissuaded big ticket purchases. The pandemic also contributed to a semiconductor shortage, leading to a substantial backorder at many car dealerships. Revenue slumped through 2022 but made a comeback in 2023 as the semiconductor shortage eased. In the 9 months through September 2023, the EU and UK and car market grew by 16.9% and 20.2% respectively, according to the ACEA and SMMT, marking a hefty rebound in car sales. This surge in car sales boosts profitability for many car dealers.
