Automotive industry reported record revenues for the first half of the year, led by Volkswagen, Toyota, Stellantis, General Motors and Ford. Global automotive sector's revenues reached a historic joint figure of €1.04 billion, surpassing the €1 billion mark for the third consecutive time in a single semester, according to a report by EY.
The industry benefited from a recovery in car registrations, mainly due to stricter European emission and safety regulations, and higher equipment content in vehicles. Despite facing challenges such as environmental regulations, economic uncertainty, slow electric vehicle adoption, and the Chinese market threat, the major automakers achieved a record €1.04 billion in revenue for the first six months of the year.
Volkswagen topped the list with €158.102 million, followed by Toyota with €141.627 million, Stellantis with €81.614 million, General Motors with €4.819 million, and Ford with €2.909 million. However, these high revenues did not always translate into profits. Volkswagen, despite leading in revenue, was second in operating profit with €5.931 million, marking a 12% drop.
Toyota led in profit with €8.853 million, but with a 28% reduction. General Motors and Ford saw slight increases in their operating profits. Japanese automakers like Honda and BYD faced significant declines in profits. Overall, the automotive industry showed moderate profitability, with a median operating margin of just 4.2% for major manufacturers, the lowest since 2020.
