General Motors experienced a slight drop in market share in September 2015 in the European Union, losing 0.3 percentage points for a market share of 7.2 percent. The drop comes despite GM increasing sales volume 5.8 percent to 97,689 units in September.
The reason for the drop can be explained by the fact that GM’s 5.8 percent sales growth rate in September — furnished by the Opel and Vauxhall brands — was lower than the industry’s 9.6 percent growth rate, resulting in 1,279,526 vehicles sold.
