FLEET and business sales have taken the brunt of the decline in new car registrations during 2022 as car manufacturers favour more profitable retail channels.
July saw new car registrations fall for the fifth consecutive month: a 9.0% drop and a total of 112,162 cars.
Year-to-date the total is 914,241, down 11.5% on 2021.
According to the SMMT, the fall was down to supply issues, particularly the ongoing shortages of semiconductors. The industry organisation has now downgraded its forecast for 2022 to a fall of 2.8% over 2021 which would mean a market total around 1.6 million new cars. However, to achieve that figure the market would have to stage a significant recovery from its current run rate.
