MarkLines Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Makoto Sakai; https://www.marklines.com/) has launched “Vehicle Import and Export Volumes by Model” as a new addition to the “Vehicle Volume Data” available on it automotive industry information platform.
Approximately one-third of vehicles sold worldwide are traded across national and regional borders. In recent years, the rapid growth of vehicle exports from China has attracted particular attention. Against this backdrop, it is becoming increasingly important to understand where each model is produced and which markets it is supplied to.
“Vehicle Import and Export Volumes by Model” provides estimated export and import volumes for individual vehicle models based on MarkLines’ sales and production volume data. The data covers 66 countries representing 98.5% of global vehicle sales and is available from 2025 onward.
When combined with existing production and sales volume data, this information can be utilized by automobile manufactures and parts manufacturers for market and competitive analysis and for production and investment decisions; by trading companies for market development; by shipping and logistics operators to track logistics and transportation trends; and by financial institutions for industry analysis.
Additionally, the extracted data can also be downloaded in Excel format for further aggregation and analysis, as well as for the preparation of internal reports.
