General Motors earned 17.9% of the U.S. auto industry’s sales volume in May 2015, a drop from 18.5% one month ago but a slight improvement compared with May 2014, when GM’s market share stood at 17.7%.
In May 2015, GM’s U.S. sales grew at a 3% clip, twice the rate of improvement posted by the overall auto industry. GM’s gains came mainly as a result of improved pickup truck volume and a strong month for Lambda crossovers.
Year-over-year, Ford Motor Company’s market share slid by almost one-half of one percentage point, a loss largely traced back to the F-Series’ 10% drop and a slight drop-off in utility vehicle sales. Toyota, Nissan, and Hyundai-Kia lost small amounts of market share in comparison with May 2014, as well. FCA, including Alfa Romeo and Maserati, saw its share of the U.S. industry rise from 12.2% in May 2014 to 12.5% one year later thanks to a best-ever month for the Jeep brand, the company’s highest-performing outlet.
