![]() If this year’s notably faster start is any guide, this year’s West European car market will confound most earlier gloomy predictions by ending in much better shape than earlier feared. March’s near 11 per cent car sales gain shines light on Europe’s notably faster than feared recovery, according to provisional car sales numbers for the 17 countries regularly monitored by AID every month The upbeat nature of last month’s turnout is driven home by AID compiled figures showing that with the single exception of the Netherlands, March car sales were well up in all of the region’s remaining 16 markets. There’s more encouraging news. In March, all of the region’s previously hardest hit markets such as Italy, Spain, Ireland and even Greece posted double-digit car sales gains. Battered car market grows at fastest rate since December 2013 AID believes that the all-round positive omen for this year’s ultimate eventual turnout is underlined further by a whopping 41.5 per cent March sales gain in Portugal, which ranked among the hardest-hit countries in the eurozone. +10.9%
