Passenger Vehicle Market Research Reports

New car demand tracked country by country, in units first and value second, with the body-type, brand and powertrain splits that decide who wins share.

About our Passenger Vehicles coverage

Passenger car markets are measured in registrations before they are measured in dollars, so every Marqstats passenger vehicle report starts from unit volume. We reconcile wholesale, retail and registration series from national associations and licensing bodies, then build value from model-level price bands rather than a single average selling price.

The analysis that matters most is mix. SUVs and pickups keep taking share from sedans and hatchbacks, Chinese brands are reshaping price ladders in Africa, the Middle East and Latin America, and local assembly rules decide which models are built in country and which are imported. We size each of these shifts explicitly instead of folding them into one growth rate.

Battery-electric and plug-in hybrid cars are covered in depth under Electric Vehicles and Charging, and pre-owned vehicles under Used Vehicles and Trade. Passenger vehicle reports reference both, so the new, used and electric numbers for a country can be read together without double counting.

What we cover

  • National new car markets sized by units and value, with body type, brand origin, price band and sales channel detail.

  • Pickup and SUV demand, including the one-tonne pickup segments that dominate Thailand, South Africa, Australia and the Gulf.

  • Premium and luxury brand volumes, pricing and dealer economics in markets where the segment carries outsized value.

  • Flex-fuel, ethanol and synthetic-fuel vehicles, sized against fuel blending mandates and engine certification rules.

Who uses this research

Vehicle manufacturers and importers planning model launches, distributors and dealer groups testing territory potential, component suppliers sizing content per vehicle, and investors judging national car market cycles.

Every report is delivered with the underlying data tables, a defined methodology note and analyst access, so the assumptions can be interrogated rather than accepted. If the exact scope you need is not published here, we build commissioned studies on the same framework.
