Forecast: Passenger Cars in Use in Denmark

The number of passenger cars in use in Denmark showed an overall growth from 2013 to 2023, with notable fluctuations. Between 2013 and 2019, the average annual increase was moderate, rarely exceeding 3%. However, a sharp 16.2% decline occurred in 2020, likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The market rebounded swiftly with a 15.53% increase in 2021, further followed by a 6.22% rise in 2022 and a marginal 0.88% increase in 2023, standing at 2.57 million units. Over the last five years, the CAGR was 0.94%, reflecting steady growth despite the 2020 dip.

From 2024 onwards, the forecasted data predicts a consistent albeit slow annual increase of approximately 0.72% (CAGR), with an overall growth of 3.65% by 2028. This implies a stable but modest upward trend in the number of passenger cars in use.

Future trends to watch for include the potential impact of electric vehicle adoption, changes in consumer behavior post-pandemic, and evolving governmental policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, all of which could influence the market dynamics significantly.
