In June 2025, new car registrations in the European Union (EU) fell by 7.3% to 1,010,201 vehicles, according to data from the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA). This decrease marks a challenging period for the auto industry, with several key players experiencing significant drops in sales.

Tesla, a prominent player in the electric vehicle (EV) market, saw its new-car registrations in the EU plunge by 39.5% in June, registering only 20,349 vehicles. This decline is part of a six-month streak of consecutive month-on-month (MOM) decreases, with registrations falling 40.5% in May, nearly 53% in April, 36% in March, 47% in February, and 50% in January. Despite the overall growth in the EV market, Tesla's sales have been notably impacted [1].

Another major player, SAIC Motor, a Chinese state-owned automaker, also experienced a significant drop in June, with new-car registrations falling by 14.3%. This decline is part of a broader trend of decreased sales across the industry, with overall EU passenger-car registrations falling by 7.3% [2].

Nissan, another notable brand, saw its EU new car registrations fall by 19.5% in June. This decline aligns with the broader trend of decreased sales across the industry, with all major markets experiencing decreases. The market share for petrol cars dropped to 28.4% from 35.4% in June 2024, while diesel car registrations declined to 9.4% from 12.6% [2].

The ACEA data also highlights the growing popularity of electric vehicles, with the EV market share reaching 59.8% of new registrations in June 2025. Battery-electric car sales accounted for 15.6% of the EU market share, while hybrid-electric models captured 34.8% [2].

Despite the overall decline in car registrations, the EV market continues to grow, with battery-electric and hybrid-electric cars showing year-on-year (YOY) growth in June 2025. The plug-in-hybrid market also experienced strong growth, with a 41.6% increase in registrations [2].

In conclusion, the EU car market faced significant challenges in June 2025, with many key players experiencing substantial declines in sales. The growth in the EV market, however, offers a glimmer of hope for the industry's future. Investors should closely monitor these trends as they evolve.
