The given pie charts compare the sales of cars across three categories in Australia in April 1994, 2004 and 2014.
Overall, there was an increase in the total number of cars sold, with gradual shifts in consumer preferences. While saloon cars experienced a significant decrease in sales, there was a rise in the figures for SUVs and other brands.
The total number of cars started at 42,000 units in 1994, increased to 48,000 units in 2004 before reaching 52,000 units in 2014. Obviously, saloon cars dominated the market throughout a period, consisting of 75% with 31,500 units in 1994. However, their market significantly declined to only 55% (28,600 vehicles) in 2014.
In contrast, the number of SUV cars accounted for just 6%, or 2,520 units in 1994, after which it saw a slight rise to 14% in 2004 (6,720 units) and ultimately ended at 24% (12,480 units) in 2014. A similar trend can be seen in the figures for other car brands, growing from 19% (7980 units) in 1994 to 21% (10080 units) in 2004. This percentage remained unchanged until the end of the period.
