GlobalData European Passenger Car Sales Update (August 2025)

Summary

  • For August 2025, the Western European PV market continued its trend of growth as registrations climbed 3% YoY, with a total of 677k units. That gain, however, comes off an already weak August 2024, leaving the month’s performance relatively modest. Overall, 2025 remains challenging for the sector: YTD sales are essentially flat versus a weak 2024, at 7.7 million units.
  • Across the region’s five major markets, only Spain delivered a genuinely encouraging result, extending its year‑long streak of strong growth. Elsewhere, the positive monthly YoY results, notably in France, Germany and Italy, could not offset weak performances owing to weak economic backdrops.
