Summary
- In February, the Global Light Vehicle (LV) selling rate stood at 87 mn units/year, weaker than the January result. Market volumes improved over 8% YoY though, with 6.6 mn units sold.
- The key markets of the US, China, and Western Europe experienced mixed results in February 2025. The US saw a decline in sales, partly due to one fewer selling day in the month. Meanwhile, Western Europe continued to struggle with economic uncertainty, dampening consumer demand. In contrast, China recorded a surge in sales, largely driven by seasonal distortions linked to the Lunar New Year holiday.
