2012 will bring good players in the automotive industry. According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers study of European sales will fall to 4%. The decrease will be felt by France and Britain, but also Poland, a country which until recently risen significantly.
Car sales will fall by about 4% in 2012 to less than 13 million units, says a PricewaterhouseCoopers study. Machinery and in 2011 recorded at European level decrease of 1.9% to 13.5 million cars.

People are still reluctant to buy a car because of the perpetuation of the economic crisis, says PwC study. France will not be circumvented by decreasing sales. Number of units sold next year will be reduced by 9% to about 2 million cars.

For this year, PwC estimated sales of 2.2 million cars.

UK market will see the same scenario. Increased risk of recession in the UK and therefore reduce consumer spending could lead car sales in 2012 below the 1.9 million units. Recently, a Deloitte study more pessimistic forecasts came with: sales could fall to about 1.8 million cars, new and used. In the 11 months of this year, the British market declined by 4.5%, higher than expected.

The big surprise comes from Poland, one of the EU countries with the highest growth rates. In the first 11 months of sales declined by almost 9%. The main reason for depreciation negative evolution is the Swiss franc, the currency in which many Polish households have taken housing loans. Thus, the income available for other purchases Poles were significantly reduced.
