It seems that are slowing reaching their goal as the brand’s objective is to reach 50% sales outside Europe by 2015, and they still have one more year to go. Concerning Latin America, Peugeot is reaping the fruits of its labour as the company experienced a successful launch of its 208 model. This lead to 98,300 registrations in Argetina, an increase of 21,6 that made the company achieve a new historical record.

Although the brand experienced an international growth, recording 1,553,000 sales worldwide they still want to improve their marketing strategy. So, their plan for 2014 is to expand their Peugeot 308 range with a new body style (SW) as well as new powertrains and new automatic gearboxes. At the same time they plan on recovering in the southern European markets.
