The C-segment is largely dominant in the European BEV market
05 August 2025

- From January to April 2025, battery electric vehicle (BEV) registrations in the 30-country European passenger car market (EU, UK, Switzerland, and Norway) totalled 758,185 units, a significant increase from the 593,301 units registered during the same period in 2024.

- The C-segment dominates European BEV sales, accounting for 36% of the market. It is followed by the D-segment (26%), the B-segment (22%), and the E-segment (10%). Other segments, such as A and F, as well as van passenger versions, constitute a negligible 6% of the total market.

- Analysis of Europe's top three BEV markets—Germany, the UK, and France—which collectively represent 54% of sales, shows the C-segment holds a consistent share of just over one-third of the market in each country (37% in Germany, 35% in France).

- However, a key difference emerges in segment preference. Germany shows a preference for the E-segment (17% of its BEV market) over the B-segment (15%), a trend that is reversed in France.

- In France, the B-segment is now the dominant segment, representing 40% of the BEV market. This recent shift, occurring in the second half of 2024, is largely attributed to the introduction of the Renault 5 E-Tech and Citroën e-C3. The C and D segments follow, with 35% and 16% of the market, respectively. While France's C-segment proportion is similar to that of Germany and the UK, its D-segment share is notably weaker.

- In conclusion, France's BEV market favours the B and C segments, whereas Germany and the UK show a preference for the C and D segments.

2025: BEV sales up in China, stable in Europe, down in the USA
08 July 2025

- Global sales of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) reached 3,650,636 units in the first four months of 2025, representing an increase of 37.7% compared to the first four months of 2024, when the figure did not exceed 2,650,288 units. This represents an additional one million BEVs registered in the first four months of 2025, while the global automotive market is stable, due to uncertainties regarding the economic situation caused by the protectionism of States wishing to challenge the rules of international trade.

- In this context, China is increasing its lead over other countries with 2,109,406 BEVs in the first four months of 2025, compared to 1,351,906 in the first four months of 2024, approaching 25% of the local market share.

- Europe ranks second behind China, with 758,185 BEVs registered in the first four months of 2025, compared to 593,301 in the first four months of 2024, representing a 17% share of the local market.

- The United States ranks third, with 407,756 BEVs registered in the first four months of 2025, compared to 368,918 in the first four months of 2024, representing a 7.6% share of the local market.

- While BEV market share in the first four months of 2025 is increasing in China and appears stable in Europe, it is declining in the United States month after month, as if the Trump administration's anti-BEV rhetoric is becoming reality.

- In Japan, BEV market share is also declining this year, although it remains very low (16,290 units representing 1.2% of the market share over four months of 2025). Japanese carmakers will have a lot to do to reverse this trend.
