Summary

  • In April, the PV selling rate for Western Europe stood at 11.2 mn units/year, broadly in line with that of March. Sales volumes totalled 949k units, a 1.1% decline from April 2024. YTD sales now stand at just under 4 mn units, down 0.7% from the same period last year. Spain continued its strong run of results, while markets such as France and the UK faced declines.
  • The story for the Western European PV market remains the same as last month. Global and regional economic headwinds, specifically US President Donald Trump’s tariff plans, have heightened uncertainty and hurt consumer confidence, which is now having real affects in many Western European markets. GlobalData continues to forecast 2025 sales to fall short of 2024’s result.
