This table presents information on turnover and volume developments in the sector Imports of new cars and light motor vehicles (SIC 45.111). Developments are presented as percentage changes compared to the same period in the preceding year and by means of indices with base year 2015.

Data available from: January 2005

Status of the figures:
Figures on 2023 are provisional, figures from preceding periods are definite.
The figures of a calendar year will become definite no later than five months after the end of that calendar year. Until then, the figures in this table will be “provisional” and can still be adjusted as a result of delayed response.

Changes as of January 31, 2023:
Figures of December 2023, the fourth quarter of 2023 and the year 2023 have been added. Figures of periods of 2023 may have been adjusted.

When will new figures be published?
As a rule, monthly statistics are published six to eight weeks after the end of the reporting month. Quarterly statistics are published on the last working day of the second month after the quarter. Once definite figures have been published, Statistics Netherlands will only revise the results if significant adjustments and/or corrections are necessary.

An index compares the value of a variable (e.g. turnover) in a certain period with the value of the same variable in the base period. The index of this base period is 100.

Turnover is defined as the value of sales of goods and services to third parties, VAT excluded. Turnover includes the main activity as well as secondary activities. Third parties are consumers and enterprises not belonging to (the Dutch part of) the own group of companies.
