Europe's big dealer groups weathered the pandemic better than the automotive retail industry overall last year to increase market share and continue their growth trajectory.
Europe's top 50 groups as measured by 2020 revenue captured 13 percent of the region's share of new vehicle sales in the region through 2020, up 1 percentage point from 2019, rankings published by automotive retail analyst ICDP show.
ICDP predicts that the top 50, led by Switzerland's Emil Frey, will account for 15 percent of all new European car sales by 2025 as they expand and swallow up smaller groups.
The figure is up from 10 percent in 2015.
