The ICDP institute every year publishes an analysis on the Top 50 European Dealers (the “Top 50”). Some interesting points:
- The Top 50 reached a 15% market share of European sales in 2024, and their share is expected to reach 20-25% by 2030;
- The average turnover of the Top 50 in 2024 was €3,400 million, with €1,500 million being the entry turnover to the Top 50;
- The ranking of dealers in the Top 50 is led by France with 22% of the groups belonging to the Top 50;
- The growth of these groups is fueled by a steady stream of acquisition (M&A) deals, with more activity in smaller markets. In the field of M&A, French investors were also the most active, accounting for a third of acquisition transactions in 2024. Meanwhile, 28 of the groups in the Top 50 made at least one acquisition in 2024.
