This report offers an assessment of world car markets to 2009. It has been distilled via tried and tested demand analysis techniques, a healthy dose of industry intelligence and economic projections based on the latest forecasts published by the IMF. Historical car sales data has been obtained from government departments, trade associations and Industry sources around the world.

Light truck data in the North American passenger vehicle numbers has also been included, as these vehicles are overwhelmingly marketed and used as passenger vehicles (and would, for example, be considered as cars and recorded as such in car market statistics in Western Europe).

Throughout the report, data up to and including the year 2003 is actual data unless otherwise stated. Subsequent years are forecasts.
