Barcelona (Reuters): The global car market is on course to achieve a growth this year of 2%, Renault-Nissan Chief Executive Carlos Ghosn told Reuters on Monday, confirming an earlier estimate.
“I think for 2015, we said the market is going to be in a moderate growth - 2%,” Ghosn said in an interview on the sidelines of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
“We didn’t change our opinion: We have some good news, we have some bad news, but they all compensate each other so we are still on a trend of 2%,” he said referring to the company as a whole.
Even though growth in Asia is expected to help offset a sharp fall in Russia, that rate would mark a slowdown from 2014 when the global car market saw growth of about 3.5%.
