Global Car Sales

Last update: 01 Nov 2026

The world bought 99.8 million new vehicles in 2025 on OICA's count, 4.7% more than in 2024. China is by far the biggest market, with 27.3 million sold at home; factories in China exported 7.1 million more, which OICA counts in China's total and again where they were sold. Toyota Motor was the largest carmaker, with 11.3 million sales; BYD sold 4.6 million, fifth among the carmakers shown, but the most battery-electric cars (2.3 million against Tesla's 1.6 million).

Chinese-owned carmakers took 21.5% of new car sales in the UK in January to September 2026, up from 12.9% a year earlier, and 11.8% across the EU, EFTA and the UK (from 7.4%). In China itself, sales at home fell 21.8% in January to August 2026 against the same months of 2025, while exports rose 66.7%. The cheapest Tesla Model Y costs $35,091 in Canada (before sales tax) and $59,483 in Taiwan: prices on 8 October 2026.

China's figure is CAAM's count of vehicles sold by carmakers in China, exports included: in 2025, 7.1 million went abroad and 27.3 million were sold in China. OICA's world total counts those exports again in the countries that bought them.

OICA collects these from national associations: registrations where a country records them, otherwise sales. Taiwan is not in OICA's table; its figure is a press compilation of the transport ministry's registrations and is marked provisional.

Year-to-date sales growth by market

Year-to-date change in new car sales, by market

Each bar compares the cars sold from January to the latest month a market's publisher has released with the same months a year earlier. Under each name: the period, this year's number against last year's, and the publisher. European markets count new car registrations, Mexico and the US light vehicles, China vehicles sold at home. Select a market for the details.

For example: The UK registered 1,739,271 new cars in January to September 2026, against 1,578,172 in the same months of 2025: 161,099 more, so its bar shows +10.2%.

Change in new cars by carmaker, this year against last

Each bar is a maker's sales this year minus the same months a year earlier. A maker can sell more and still lose share if the market grows faster. Chinese-owned carmakers sold 170,015 more than a year earlier (204,103 to 374,118); the whole market sold 161,099 more, so all other carmakers together sold 8,916 fewer.

The cheapest Model Y is not the same car everywhere: in the US, Canada, Europe, China, Mexico and Taiwan it is the standard rear-wheel-drive car, elsewhere the Premium. Choose "Premium or Long Range RWD" for a closer like-for-like. Import duty is a large part of the gap: India, for example, charges a high duty on imported cars.

Model Y price as a multiple of GDP per person

A rough measure of how affordable the same car is in each country. GDP per person is everything a country produces in a year divided by its population (World Bank, latest year). Divide the car's US-dollar price by it: 1.0 means the car costs one year of that average, 0.5 half a year, 3.0 three years. It is not take-home pay, which is lower, so read the order of countries rather than the exact numbers.

For example: in India the car costs ₹50,89,000, which is $52,583. GDP per person there was $2,702 in 2025. $52,583 ÷ $2,702 = 19.5, so the car costs as much as 19.5 years of the country's output per person. In the US the same sum is $39,990 ÷ $90,027 = 0.4 years: about 5 months of output per person.

years of GDP per person the price equals; the line marks one year

  • One year of GDP per person
  1. India$52,583 price ÷ $2,702 GDP per person (2025) 19.5 years
  2. Thailand$51,024 price ÷ $8,057 GDP per person (2025) 6.3 years
  3. Mexico$43,971 price ÷ $13,889 GDP per person (2025) 3.2 years
  4. China$39,316 price ÷ $13,862 GDP per person (2025) 2.8 years
  5. Saudi Arabia$50,664 price ÷ $34,537 GDP per person (2025) 1.5 years
  6. Spain$45,876 price ÷ $38,627 GDP per person (2025) 1.2 years
  7. Italy$45,876 price ÷ $43,309 GDP per person (2025) 1.1 years
  8. United Kingdom$59,436 price ÷ $57,602 GDP per person (2025) 1.0 years
  9. South Korea$37,213 price ÷ $36,227 GDP per person (2025) 1.0 years
  10. Japan$35,287 price ÷ $35,951 GDP per person (2025) 1.0 years

Methodology and definitions

Coverage and definitions

Sales are vehicles registered or sold in each market in the period; a year runs January to December and "this year so far" compares the same months of the two years. All vehicles includes trucks, buses, pickups and vans; in the US and Canada most SUVs and pickups are not passenger cars. Shares divide a maker's sales by the market total in the same publisher's table, except in the US, where company-reported sales are divided by BEA's light vehicle sales. A carmaker's country is where the company that controls the brand is based (Stellantis brands by their own country); the brand view uses the brand's home country instead. Prices are the cash prices on each country's Tesla website, converted at the Federal Reserve H.10 rate of the latest day before they were read (Saudi riyal and UAE dirham at their pegs); US and Canadian prices exclude sales tax. A missing value is blank, never zero.

China's total

OICA's figure for China is CAAM's wholesale count by carmakers in China, and it includes the vehicles they export, so it is larger than sales in China. The page therefore uses CAAM's sales at home for China in the opening summary, the headline figures and this year's change. OICA's figure stays in the country chart as published, with a note. OICA's world total also counts China's exports a second time, in the countries that bought them.

Sales by maker

Each market's table comes from one publisher: ACEA for the EU, EFTA and UK together; KBA (Germany), SMMT (UK) and UNRAE (Italy) from vehicle registrations; INEGI's register of light vehicle sales for Mexico; FADA's count of registrations for India (the Vahan system, without Telangana); FCAI's top ten for Australia; and the carmakers' own releases for the US. A maker's share is its sales divided by the total in the same table, so shares in different markets are not on quite the same basis. Where two of a publisher's rows are one maker, they are added together.

A carmaker's country

Two views, chosen in the filters. "Owner's country" counts a brand for the country of the company that controls it: MG and Volvo for China (SAIC and Geely), Jaguar Land Rover for India (Tata), Skoda, Seat and Mini for Germany. Stellantis is registered in the Netherlands for legal reasons, so its brands keep their own countries: Peugeot and Citroën French, Fiat Italian, Jeep and Ram American. "Brand's home country" counts a brand where it comes from. Neither measures where a car was built; Mexico's register does, and is shown separately.

Worldwide sales by carmaker

Each company's own published total for the calendar year. Toyota includes Daihatsu and Hino; Volkswagen counts deliveries including its trucks; GM counts its Chinese joint ventures' sales in full; Stellantis reports shipments to dealers; Ford reports wholesales; Hyundai reports retail sales; BYD's figure is all its electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, including buses. Figures that come from a press summary of a company's release, rather than the release itself, are marked provisional.

Prices

The cash price of the trim shown on each country's Tesla configurator on the day it was read, before trade-in bonuses, government incentives and on-road costs. Most countries' prices include VAT, GST or consumption tax; US and Canadian prices do not include sales tax. Türkiye's site shows prices before its special consumption tax and VAT, so it is left out. Dollar values use the Federal Reserve H.10 noon rate of the latest day on or before the price was read, stored with the price, and never today's rate.

Not published

China's sales by maker at home come from the CPCA, whose site refuses automated readers, so only CAAM's totals are used. France and Spain publish group totals only; Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Canada, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Taiwan have no open table by maker that this page can read, so they show totals only. BYD does not publish one price list across countries, and its models are named differently by market, so it is not in the price comparison yet.
