Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/21/2014 -- In 2014, BMI forecasts total vehicle sales in Poland to increase 13.1%, to some 399,466 units. This comes on the back of a forecasted 16% increase in passenger car sales and 0.2% decrease in the commercial vehicle (CV) segment.

The country's improving consumer sentiment is increasingly filtering through to big-ticket purchases such as new cars, and we forecast 16% growth. Despite a large decline in the early part of 2013, the country's car market saw a resurgence in the latter months of the year, bringing the full-year growth rate to 6.0%. This surge in passenger car sales over the course of the year was on the back of broader improvements in the country's consumer story, which we expect to continue into 2014.

In 2013, light commercial vehicle (LCV) sales increased 7.1%, to 42,182 units, and heavy trucks increased 20%, to 19,715 units. Economic data suggest that the country's manufacturing and industrial sectors resurged on the back of export-led growth to Europe. Furthermore, construction activity picked-up in the latter part of the year. These dynamics helped buoy wider economic activity in Poland, and we believe they have been the primary driver of the uptick in CV sales over the year. In 2014, we expect these dynamics to continue to boost CV sales, and accordingly forecast the LCV segment to increase 5.8% and the heavy truck segment to increase 3.8% over the year.

Vehicle production has declined sharply in Poland in recent years; passenger output is the main driver in volumes terms, and it is mostly export-orientated. Sales across Europe, the country's main trading partner, have been generally weak and sales volumes remain low. Having said that, however, the regional passenger car market has shown some signs of resurgence in recent months, and this has helped moderate declines in Poland vehicle output. CV production is primarily for the domestic market, and this has remained fairly strong throughout the year.

For 2014, we forecast a 4.3% increase in vehicle...
