Manufacture of motor vehicles revenue in Norway 2010-2022
Over the past few years, motor vehicle manufacturing has declined considerable in Norway, owing to high production costs, increased tariff rates and high worker wages. As a result, many manufactures have either shut or shifted base to other low cost economies, resulting in a decline in industry revenues. Majority of the domestic demand is now being fulfilled through imports. In fact, in 2019, vehicles worth 10.4 billion U.S. dollars were imported, accounting for over 12 percent of the country’s overall import share, according to data from worldstopexports.com. Among the top selling car brands include Volkswagen, Tesla, Toyota, BMW and Volvo.
