June 2004 management briefing
Overall, the market for LCVs in Europe has stabilised over the past few years after a period of rapid expansion, a pattern which looks set to continue. The exception appears to be the UK where the market has continued to grow, fuelled by cheap finance. The European manufacturers largely control the market too. Japanese influence is at its greatest in the pickup sector, otherwise, it is European designs that have shaped the market and the evolution of light vans. This 27 page members-only briefing includes analysis by manufacturer and registrations data.
