UK Automotive Output Set for Steep Decline in 2025
The UK automotive industry is expected to face a significant setback in 2025, with vehicle production projected to fall by 15%, marking its lowest output in decades. Despite this decline, the sector saw a positive shift as electrified vehicle output reached a record high in the first half of the year. The drop in overall production is attributed to factors such as trade disruptions, factory retooling for EVs, and reduced demand in key export markets.
