The bar chart illustrates the changes in the proportion of car sales across three regions during a 5-year period commencing in 2006.
Overall, it is evident that while Asia and Europe made the largest sales contribution over the period as a whole, South America and North America accounted for the smallest proportions. Notably, 2010 was the most dynamic year for the market, with both regions showing equal market figures.
Examining the details, from 2006 to 2010, Asia and Europe constantly remained in the top position in total car sales. Both regions began with a 30% share of car sales in 2006. In the following years, the sales figures for Asia experienced rapid growth, reaching a peak of 50% in 2010, making it the most prominent and dynamic market throughout the period shown. Besides, revenue car sales in Europe increased by 10% in the first three years, but then experienced a slight decline, reaching nearly 30% by 2010.
By contrast, South America and North America had the least popular market shares. The proportion of car sales in South America started with 30% by 2006 and a steady decline since then. Differently, there were obvious changes in car sales in North America, which have consistently remained at just under 12%. Strikingly, in 2010, the figures for North America and South America were almost equal, at about 11% and 9% respectively.
