Porsche's vehicle deliveries fell 16% in the first nine months of the year, according to figures reported by the Wall Street Journal US Business.
The decline was broad-based, with deliveries dropping across all of the company's markets. North America, the carmaker's largest sales region, saw deliveries fall 13%, underscoring the weakness in one of its most important markets.
The 16% drop in global deliveries across the nine-month period signals a difficult stretch for the luxury sports car maker. Because the decline touched every market rather than a single region, the pressure appears to be widespread rather than tied to one local factor.
The figures offer an early view of how demand for Porsche vehicles has performed so far this year, and they will be closely watched by investors and industry observers tracking the performance of premium automakers.
