All the talk about the various factors affecting the UK car market, and how it's not about Brexit, completely ignores the fact that our domestic market is collapsing while the rest of the EU is growing at its fastest pace ever.
So everyone else is still buying cars. Just not UK (and Irish) consumers. What's the one factor that distinguishes the UK from all other EU markets? Brexit. Which other country is super-worried about Brexit? Ireland. 🤔
So you can make up fairy tales, or you can face the truth. Is Brexit the only factor affecting the UK car market? Absolutely not. Is it a very significant factor? Absolutely. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise - especially yourself!
Remember, comparisons are relative. There are 28 EU countries. If we are growing less than the EU27 by some metric, what's important isn't the fact of the growth itself, but the difference. If we're declining more than the EU27, again that's significant.
