JD Power, GlobalData cut 2026 global new light-vehicle sales outlook by 800,000 cars, vans from 90.5 million (-1.9%, 2025: 91.9 million) to 89.7 million (-2.8%). This forecast would represent 2.8% year over year decline, as relative weakness in China, along with headwinds from economic and trade factors, drag down global industry. Middle East tensions appear to be re-escalating, which could risk higher oil prices and other associated side effects including fuel costs, inflation and consumer demand. Therefore, we are maintaining cautious stance on our global light-vehicle outlook for second half of year, Krafft (GlobalData) said

Sales of new light vehicles in USA apparently fell in July (JD Power/GlobalData: +1.4%; Cox Automotive: -0.4%, -1.8% after revision; Mobility Global: -1.3%).
