These were the world's 30 largest vehicle markets by units sold in 2021.

China is unbeatable:

Not only because it is still the largest market by far, but also because China faced very well the crisis. Almost one third of the global vehicle sales occurred in China last year. The volume increased by 4% vs 2020, and by 6% vs 2019. It is true that it used to grow faster, but posting growth compared to 2019, when the whole world was under lockdown, is remarkable. The main reason: The strong boost from the central government that made the electric cars more affordable than anywhere else.
