JD Power, GlobalData cut 2026 global new light-vehicle sales outlook by 900,000 to 1.8 million cars, vans from 92.6-93.5 million (+0.8% to +1.7%, 2025: 91.9 million) to 91.7 million (-0.4%). Conflict in Middle East is one key factor behind downward revision, as downstream consequences of war on energy prices, GDP growth and consumer confidence start to influence light-vehicle sales forecasts. This is true even for regions with few direct links to Middle East from supply chain perspective, such as North America. However, slow implementation of new subsidy scheme in China and cooling of price war in that market are also notable considerations, Oakley (GlobalData) said

Sales of new light vehicles in USA fell in April (JD Power/GlobalData: -7.3%; Cox Automotive: -5.4%, -6.8% after revision; S&P Global Mobility: -4.5%). In April 2025, industry was still feeling effects of tariff‑driven rush to retail lots, as additional 53,000 consumers accelerated purchases ahead of anticipated tariff impacted price increases. As result, traditional year‑over‑year comparisons provide limited insight into underlying health of consumer demand again in April 2026. Stripping out inflated prior-year baseline, April 2026 points to continued resilience in new‑vehicle demand, even as consumers contend with elevated fuel prices and broader economic uncertainty, King (JD Power) said
