Brazil’s car market is once again approaching the 3 million-vehicle-a-year mark, a milestone not seen in 12 years. The rebound is being supported by easier access to credit and firmer domestic demand.
For the industry, this is an important signal: after years of ups and downs, the South American country is moving back to volumes typical of a major market. It is a recovery that also matters to global manufacturers active in the region.
