Despite shrinking overall markets, the Volkswagen Group grew its worldwide deliveries by 1.3 % to 10,974,600 vehicles in 2019. Market shares were expanded in all regions, in some cases significantly.
Volume growth was achieved in Europe (+3.9 %) and South America (+3.2 %) while there were slight falls in North America (-0.5 %) and Asia-Pacific (-0.4 %). Strong growth was recorded with electric vehicles. As a result of many new models within the framework of the Group’s electric offensive and growing interest on the part of customers, there was a rise of around 80 % to more than 140,000 vehicles. In detail, deliveries in the regions in 2019 developed as follows: In Europe, 4,552,800 vehicles were delivered, corresponding to a rise of 3.9 % compared with 2018. In Western Europe, 3,747,000 customers took delivery of a vehicle from a Group brand (+ 4.6 %). In the domestic market of Germany, growth was even stronger and 1,364,000 vehicles were handed over to customers (+ 6.2 %). In Central and Eastern Europe, deliveries rose by 1.1 % to 805,800 vehicles. In Russia, the Group brands handed 233,600 vehicles over to customers, 1.6 % more than in 2018. In the North America region, the Group recorded a slight fall in deliveries but was able to slightly expand its market share in an overall market which shrank more strongly. 951,500 customers of a Group brand took delivery of a new vehicle, a fall of 0.5 %. In the USA, 654,200 vehicles were delivered, corresponding to a rise of 2.5 %. In Canada, deliveries totaled 112,200 vehicles, a fall of 5.3 %. In a shrinking overall market in Mexico, deliveries fell by 7.4 % to 185,100 vehicles. Nevertheless, there was a slight increase in the market share. In the South America region, the Group succeeded in boosting deliveries despite a fall in the over-all market and therefore significantly expanded its market share. Customers took delivery of a total of 608,600 vehicles, 3.2 % more than in 2018. In Brazil, the Group grew deliveries sig-nificantly by 17.1 % to 470,400 vehicles. In Argentina, the overall economic situation was challenging. The Group was also affected by this trend and recorded a fall in deliveries of 39.5 % to 71,800 vehicles, which still represented a significant increase in the market share. In the Asia-Pacific region, the Volkswagen Group recorded a slight fall of 0.4 % in deliveries to 4,530,100 vehicles. In an overall market which shrank more strongly, the market share was significantly expanded. In China, the Group’s largest single market, deliveries in a shrinking over-all market rose by 0.6 % to 4,233,600 vehicles, leading to a significant rise in the Group’s market share.
