Summary

Nutrition label

86% Informative

In February , the Global Light Vehicle (LV) selling rate stood at 87 million units/year, weaker than the January result.

Market volumes improved over 8% YoY though, with 6.6 million units sold.

The US saw a decline in sales partly due to one fewer selling day in the month .

Western Europe continued to struggle with economic uncertainty, dampening consumer demand.

China recorded a surge in sales, largely driven by seasonal distortions linked to the Lunar New Year holiday.

South America Brazilian Light Vehicle sales totaled 173.4k units in February , growing by 11.8% YoY.

In Argentina , the market continued its strong pace during the second month of 2025 .

Argentinian government cut taxes impacting certain vehicles at the end of January , and it seems likely that elimination of these taxes may have contributed to strong LV sales.
