The market share is 18.5% compared to 20.4% a year ago .
“The trend reversal that emerged with the first growth in August 2022 after thirteen consecutive monthly declines continues, but is slow to take shape” comments Gian Primo Quagliano, president of the Centro Studi Promotor who speaks of a “recovery due only to the improvement in supplies of components”.
“Compared to the pre-pandemic situation, i.e. compared to the first two months of 2019, registrations in Western Europe – he explains – are still down by as much as 23.6%”.
