Brazilian vehicle consórcio reaches 5.53 million participants, up 10.2%
The light‑vehicle consórcio segment recorded 5.53 million active participants in May 2026, a 10.2 % increase over the same month a year earlier. Between January and May, consórcio credits worth R$ 61 billion were sold for automobiles, pickups and utility vehicles.
Consórcio sales grew 14.6 % in the first half of 2026, with 2.82 million quotas sold and total business of R$ 278.99 billion. In the vehicle‑light segment, 1.85 million quotas were sold, generating R$ 112.8 billion, a 5.7 % rise year‑on‑year. Active participants rose to 13.36 million in June 2026, up 12.6 % from June 2025.
