Cars exported from the United Kingdom (UK) 2023, by main export destinations

The European Union is the main export destination for passenger cars exported by the United Kingdom. In 2023, 57.6 percent of the cars sold by UK-based manufacturers went to member states of the EU. Total exports by the UK to the EU were valued at around 46.2 million British pounds in the fourth quarter of that same year, and the EU is one of its most important trading partners. In recent years the discrepancy between exports and imports has exacerbated the UK’s negative trade balance with the EU. Motor industry contributionIn 2023, the UK motor industry contributed 22 billion British pounds to the economy. It was the first year that the industry's revenue started to recover from the decline which started in 2020.Car production volumesThe increase in economic contribution is a direct result of a decrease in production output. In 2023, around 905,100 passenger cars were manufactured. This was around 16.8 percent more than the volume produced in the previous year.

欧洲联盟是英国出口乘用车的首要目的地。2023年，英国制造商销售的汽车中有57.6%销往欧盟成员国。当年第四季度，英国对欧盟的总出口额约为4620万英镑，欧盟成为其最重要的贸易伙伴之一。近年来，出口与进口之间的差额加剧了英国与欧盟之间的贸易逆差。就汽车工业的贡献而言，2023年，英国汽车工业为经济贡献了220亿英镑。这一年是该行业收入自2020年开始的下滑后首次开始复苏。汽车产量方面，经济贡献的增加直接源于生产输出的减少。2023年，大约制造了905,100辆乘用车，这一数字比上一年增长了约16.8%。
