In 2023, the first registrations of new passenger cars in France stood at 32.06 units per thousand persons. Forecasts from 2024 to 2028 show a slight annual decline, with values dropping from 32.04 in 2024 to 31.94 by 2028. The year-on-year variation indicates a negligible decrease over the coming years. Analyzing the data trend, we can deduce a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) that demonstrates a subtle annual contraction in new car registrations over the five-year forecast period.

Future trends to watch include:

Regulatory changes impacting car registrations, such as emission regulations.
Technological advancements promoting electric and autonomous vehicles, affecting consumer preferences.
Economic factors, such as economic growth and consumer confidence, influencing car market dynamics.
