GlobalData Global Light Vehicle Sales Update (August 2025)
2025/09/22
Summary
- For August, the Global Light Vehicle (LV) selling rate was broadly in line with the previous month, at over 94 mn units/year. In year-on-year (YoY) terms, the market grew 4% as sales reached 7.2 mn units globally. YTD sales currently stand at 59 mn units, up 5% from the same period in 2024.
- Trade tensions have cooled, and key markets have seen growth in August. Despite one fewer selling day in the US, sales remained robust. In China, sales were strong due to government support; however, there are increasing efforts by the Chinese government to return the market to sustainable pricing. In Western Europe, a solid YoY improvement came off a modest August 2024 base.
