I'm trying to locate the latest available figures for the total number
of Automobiles sold Worldwide annually. A breakdown by major
manufacturer would also by very helpful. I have been able to source US
figures from the J.D. Power and Associates website but accurate
Worldwide figures have been harder to come by.

Hello Primaxis,

sales by manufacturer.

website, there are two tables which will give you the information you
are seeking.
