The UK car industry continued to demonstrate resilience and ongoing recovery in June 2023, as it recorded over 177,000 new registrations, representing a 25.8% year-on-year increase and marking an eleventh consecutive month of growth.
The recovery also continues in supply, with manufacturing output increasing by almost 27% in May, which was the fourth consecutive month of year-on-year growth. Although this demonstrates a sustained recovery for manufacturers and dealers after weathering many of the stubborn challenges from the pandemic and supply chain disruptions, the trend of fleet customers dominating the growth at 37.9% masks a weaker recovery for end consumers which increased by less than 15%.
The growth of Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) sales continued with an increase of 39.4% in June, but the growth of BEV market share is starting to slow. In contrast, Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) had their most significant market share since February 2022 last month.
