The Argentine automobile market has significantly moderated its fall during the past month of March 2022. The car sales in Argentina have reached the 21,609 units. A volume of registrations that, if compared with that obtained in the same period of time the previous year, represents a 11.6% drop. It is still a significant decrease but, in relation to the data for February, we are facing a growth in sales of 15.3%.
Unfortunately, the falls experienced during these previous months are a heavy burden for accumulated sales. And it is that, between the months of January and March, new car registrations accumulated 69,850 units, 11.6% less than in 2021. The stock crisis in dealers due to the global shortage of microchips, added to the economic situation that Argentina is going through, are the main causes of these results.
