The Volkswagen Group Sales Growth 2025 report highlights a modest but steady increase in global vehicle deliveries, signaling cautious optimism for the brand’s performance this year. Despite regional challenges, Volkswagen Group continues to hold strong in Europe and South America, reflecting balanced recovery across global markets.
Volkswagen Group Reports Steady Global Growth
In the first nine months of 2025, Volkswagen Group sales reached 6.60 million vehicles worldwide — a 1 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Europe remains a major growth driver with 2.9 million vehicles delivered, marking a 4.1 percent rise. Germany, the brand’s home market, saw deliveries increase by 4.6 percent, showing strong consumer confidence.
Regional Performance: Mixed Results
While European and South American markets contributed positively to Volkswagen Group’s 2025 growth, North America experienced a decline of 7.8 percent, totaling 708,800 units. The U.S. saw a sharper drop of 9.3 percent due to tariff-related pressures. However, South America posted impressive results, up by 14.9 percent with 481,800 deliveries.
Challenges in Asia-Pacific Markets
The Asia-Pacific region, particularly China, posed challenges as deliveries dipped by 2.8 percent to 2.2 million units. The slowdown is attributed to heightened competition and a temporary drop in BEV sales ahead of new model launches.
Outlook for Volkswagen Group 2025
Despite mixed regional performance, Volkswagen Group’s sales growth in 2025 remains positive overall. The automaker’s focus on electric vehicles and strategic regional recovery plans are expected to strengthen its global position in the coming quarters.
