National Association of Automobile Manufacturers (Anfavea): (See figure)
Production volume:
In 2019, Brazil’s vehicle production (total of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, buses and trucks) increased 2.3% year on year to 2,944,962 units.
sales quantity:
“The domestic sales volume (new vehicle registration base) increased by 8.6% to 2,877,850 units” contributed to the increase in production volume.
Exports:
Due to the sluggish economy of Argentina, a major export destination, sales fell 31.9% to 428,198 units.

This shows that domestic demand is gradually recovering.
