EU Car Market Sees Slight Uptick in 2025, Electric Vehicles Gain Ground In a modest boost for the European automotive industry, new car registrations in the EU have risen by 1.8% in 2025. This modest increase marks a return to growth for the market, which had faced significant headwinds in recent years due to economic uncertainty and shifting consumer preferences. Meanwhile, the share of electric vehicles (EVs) on EU roads has surged to 17.4%, up from previous years, as governments and manufacturers continue to invest in cleaner, more sustainable transportation options. The growing demand for EVs is a positive sign for the EU's efforts to reduce carbon emissions and meet its ambitious climate targets.
