According to industry association ADEFA, Argentina produced 20,998 units (passenger cars and light commercial vehicles) in January 2026, compared to 26,460 units in December 2025.
Exports fell 51.0 percent to 9,759 units, while domestic sales fell 33.1 percent to 34 333 units, of which 12,123 units were produced in Argentina alone.
Compared to January 2025, production in January 2026 decreased by 30.1 percent, exports decreased by 12.3 percent, and domestic sales increased by 0.7 percent.
President Adefa Rodrigo Perez Graziano said that in January 2026, the number of working days decreased and daily production also slowed down. The pace associated with adapting the plant to new car models has led to a decrease in activity compared to January 2025. He also noted that to accurately assess the sector's annual prospects, it is necessary to observe developments in the first quarter.
