GlobalData Global Light Vehicle Sales Update (December 2025)

Summary

  • For December, the Global Light Vehicle (LV) selling rate fell to 93 mn units/year; with this mainly being attributed to a deceleration in the Chinese PV market. In year-on-year (YoY) terms, the market fell 2% as sales totaled 8.4 mn units globally. Overall, 2025 finished with 91.9 mn units sold, up around 4% from 2024’s result.
  • The US, Western Europe, and China ended 2025 with mixed results. Unlike earlier in the year, Western Europe was the only region to grow in December, led by strong sales in Germany and gains in Italy and the UK. China declined again due to changes to the scrappage scheme, while the US also fell as weaker EV sales offset an otherwise positive performance.
