The European Motor Vehicle Wholesaling and Retailing industry’s revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 1.6% over the five years through 2025 to €1,461.3 billion, with a projected hike of 2.2% in 2025. In 2023, the EU car market showed clear signs of recovery. According to ACEA data, EU car sales rose by 13.9% from 2022 levels, reaching around 10.5 million units for the year. However, in 2024, the growth slowed considerably, notching up just a modest rise of 0.8%. This surge in car sales boosted profitability for many car dealers. Although electric vehicles are increasingly popular, many people still opt for petrol cars due to lower upfront costs and easier refuelling access than charging an EV, as highlighted by data from Jato Dynamics showing new electric cars in Europe cost 22% more than similar petrol equivalents. Petrol models also remain cheaper to manufacture and maintain because simpler powertrains lessen exposure to rising raw material prices like lithium, which has averaged around €8,848 per tonne in 2024 according to London Metal Exchange figures. Car wholesalers and retailers are responding to higher electric vehicle prices by maintaining attractive petrol portfolios. They're also offering affordable mild-hybrid options as a practical bridge for buyers concerned about EV costs. This helps businesses capture short-term sales and addresses consumer hesitation around investing in pricier electric vehicles. European governments are increasing their efforts to cut emissions in line with climate agreement targets. Zero- and low-emission zones are becoming widespread in European city centres, which restrict the entry of high-polluting vehicles. Governments are incentivising the uptake of electric vehicles by offering subsidies and zero tax on new purchases. The sale of new diesel and petrol cars will be banned in many countries (2030 in the UK, 2035 in the EU), encouraging people and fleet owners to switch to an electric vehicle for their next purchase. Over the five years through 2030, revenue is forecast to climb at a compound annual rate of 5.8% to reach €1,934.5 billion. Connected cars will also be a focus for many dealers, as infotainment systems become widely demanded by customers.
