Forecast: Number of Road Motor Vehicles in the UK

The forecasted number of road motor vehicles in the UK shows a consistent year-on-year increase from 1.71 in 2024 to 1.75 units per million USD GDP by 2028. This gradual rise indicates a stable growth pattern in the sector, reflecting moderate economic and vehicle market expansion. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period is nominal, highlighting steady, incremental progress. For context, 2023 data positioned the number of vehicles slightly below the 2024 forecast, affirming a continuation of the current trajectory.

Future trends to monitor include potential shifts toward electric vehicles, growth in shared mobility services, and changes in regulatory policies targeting emissions, which could reshape vehicle ownership patterns and influence market dynamics.
