Sweden Passenger Cars Market
Description
The Swedish passenger cars market in 2023 reflected the country’s strong progress toward sustainable mobility, with new car registrations increasingly dominated by alternative fuel vehicles. Between 2021 and 2023, the share of hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and electric cars among new registrations expanded rapidly, supported by government incentives, environmental awareness, and well-developed charging infrastructure. Total passenger car numbers continued to rise from 2018 to 2023, underlining steady growth in the vehicle fleet. Sweden also recorded one of the higher motorisation rates in Europe in 2023, reflecting widespread car ownership relative to its population. In terms of the overall fleet composition, petrol and diesel remained important, though their shares declined as electrified options grew. Petrol-driven cars were concentrated in smaller engine categories, while diesel cars were more prevalent in larger engine sizes, particularly among older vehicles. The age structure of the Swedish fleet as of December 2023 showed a balanced mix, with a significant share of cars under ten years old, but also a notable proportion of older vehicles still in circulation. Overall, Sweden’s passenger cars market illustrates an advanced stage of transition, where traditional fuels remain relevant but are increasingly overshadowed by the accelerating adoption of low- and zero-emission vehicles.
