The Automotive Quarterly - Q2 Daten 2020 report highlights the impact of the pandemic on the automotive industry. The report shows that after a deep decline in the stock markets in the first quarter of 2020, there has been a recovery in the second quarter. However, the general indices in Europe are still below the previous year's quarter, while globally they are above it. The STOXX Europe 600 Auto is still significantly below the previous year's value, while the STOXX Global 3000 Auto has returned to the same level. The report also shows that the sales of the considered manufacturers have declined significantly compared to the previous quarter (-39.9%). This decline is largely due to a decrease in demand caused by the pandemic, which has significantly affected large parts of the world in the second quarter. All considered manufacturers have recorded declines in sales, both compared to the previous year and quarter.
