BEV sales reached 12.3 million units worldwide in 2025
25 February 2026

- Global sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) reached 12.3 million units in 2025 (13.5% of the global market) – nearly one million units per month on average – compared to 10.36 million units in 2024 (11.5% of the global market). This volume represents an 18.7% increase compared to 2024. It is distributed across four main regions: China (8.40 million units compared to 7.04 million in 2024), Europe (30 countries = EU + UK + Switzerland + Norway) (2.58 million units compared to 1.99 million in 2024), the USA (1.27 million units compared to 1.27 million in 2024), and Japan (48,000 units compared to 56,000 in 2024).

- The trend observed in China is uninterrupted growth in BEV sales since 2020, to the point of representing 28% of total sales in this market for the entire year of 2025. However, BEV sales have accelerated in the last months of the year, approaching 35% of the market during this period. It is highly likely that BEV sales growth will continue in China in 2026, reaching between 30% and 33% of the market for the entire year.

- The trend observed in Europe is growth in BEV sales, which accelerated in the last months of 2025, thanks in particular to the arrival of small electric models (such as the Renault 5 E-Tech). This phenomenon is expected to intensify in 2026 with the arrival of new small electric models (notably those from the Volkswagen Group). BEVs could ultimately reach between 20% and 25% of the market for the entire year.

- The trend observed in the USA and Japan is a stagnation of BEV sales at a low level, between 5% and 10% of the US market in 2026 and significantly less than 5% in Japan.

The Russian passenger car market has declined by 15.7% by 2025
16 February 2026

- The Russian passenger car (PC) market contracted by 15.7% in 2025, to 1,306,299 units compared to 1,550,249 in 2024. This decline is likely a consequence of the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, which is prompting Russia (even though it is not yet operating under a full-blown war economy) to prioritize military needs over civilian requirements. The Russian light utility vehicle (LUV) market also contracted, declining by 23.8%, to 104,980 units compared to 137,734 in 2024, for the same reasons as the passenger car market.

- The best-selling passenger car brand in Russia in 2025 was Lada, part of the AvtoVAZ group (330,357 units; -24.8%), although its sales declined more sharply than the overall market, indicating that some of its customers switched to Chinese brands. Its market share fell from 28% in 2024 to 25% in 2025.

- The remaining 75% is largely monopolized by Chinese brands, which hold 60% of the Russian market in 2025 (786,737 units). European, Japanese, American, and Korean brands account for 15% of sales, but it is likely that a significant portion of these sales also originate from China, as these brands officially refused to sell their cars in Russia after the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine in 2022. The hypothesis that many European, Japanese, American, and Korean models are imported through Chinese dealerships therefore remains highly probable (evidence of this is that Volkswagen Group's Jetta models are sold in Russia, even though this brand only produces its models in China).
