European car sales are forecast to grow across all regions between 2012 and 2013. Growth is expected to be highest in eastern Europe at 3.5% and lowest in southern Europe which will see a 1.5% contraction due to declining registrations in Greece and Portugal. Over 60% of new registrations in leading European economies will be diesel vehicles by 2017 and Volkswagen is projected to have the largest market share in emerging markets with over 20 million vehicles by 2015. The UK is expected to see considerable growth in electric vehicles, with new registrations doubling between 2012 and 2015. Many countries will also see aging vehicle fleets in the coming years, presenting opportunities for the automotive aftermarket industry.
