GlobalData European Passenger Car Sales Update (September 2025)

Summary

  • For September 2025, the Western European PV market saw promising results as sales were up 9% YoY, with a total of 1.1 mn units. YTD sales are now up 1% compared to the same period in 2024, at 8.8 mn units. The new US-EU trade deal has alleviated trade policy uncertainty, and when combined with rising real wages and increased government spending, particularly in Germany, the outlook for the region has improved since mid-year. We forecast PV sales will be broadly flat this year at just over 11.5 mn units.
  • Across the region's five major markets, all experienced growth for the first time in many months. Spain continued to shine as the standout performer, while both Germany and the UK demonstrated strong growth, both attributed to a weak base and assisted by government incentives.
