The Argentine automotive industry experienced a positive start in 2025, with a 32% increase in car production in January compared to the same month last year, according to recent reports.

This growth aligns with record sales of new cars, which also showed a significant increase in January.

The Association of Automotive Factories (Adefa) has highlighted the sector's recovery and expressed optimistic projections for 2025.

A minimum growth of 10% to 15% in production is expected, driven by the recovery of the domestic market and increased external demand, along with new investment projects totaling $1.7 billion.

Additionally, Adefa forecasts a domestic market of approximately 500,000 units for 2025, with growth exceeding 12% compared to 2024.

The Argentine automotive market has also shown a significant rebound in sales, with a 103.4% increase in registrations in January 2025 compared to the previous year.

This growth is attributed to factors such as financing, reduced tax burdens, and macroeconomic stability.

The Argentine automotive industry is facing a promising year, with strong growth in production and sales, and expectations of consolidating its position both domestically and internationally.

These are all very positive signs. That's why those who try to argue that things aren't getting better are just wrong. Look at all the economic data. 103% increase in registrations! Wow.

Great numbers. That is what I don't understand. When people are complaining saying that things are going wrong or worse than before. These numbers sure show the opposite. I am beginning to think that all the people saying Argentina has so many poor are exaggerating. What is the opinion of people that have recently moved to Argentina?

@StatusNomadicus, @Jakoval , @Darksider415, @Spend Thrift and others that I can't remember who recently moved to Argentina. Are things getting better or worse? What is the mood of all of you that haven't been there too long?

Numbers don't lie. This is very bullish to see people buying new cars. That doesn't happen when the economy is bad.

I don't live there but I have purchased 2 apartments in the past year in Buenos Aires. I have made 2 trips there and my sense is there are a lot of people with a lot of disposable income. I went all over the city. Puerto Madero, Belgrano, Nunez, Palermo, Recoleta, Villa Crespo, Colegiales. While there were some tourists it was mostly locals at cafes and restaurants and ice cream shops and shopping malls.

There were people begging too but I see that in every major city in the United States. Seems like BA has a very affluent population. I did not go to poorer parts of BA but across a big area and lots of people spending a lot of money.

Automobiles are one of the best economic multipliers there is. Every one of those cars now has to be insured, maintained and fueled, providing more jobs and economic activity.

That is exactly what I was thinking. If so many people are buying new cars I would say that is clear proof things are working. You can't buy new cars when you don't have money. It is difficult to get a good gauge how good or how bad things are in Argentina. I am glad people are putting out statistics like this. Thanks @BuySellBA
