What will happen to automotive residual values in 2025?
23 January 2025
European used-car markets saw residual values (RVs) continue to fall across 2024. In an upcoming webinar, Autovista Group experts will discuss market developments and 2025 outlooks with Autovista24 editor Tom Geggus.
As revealed in the latest Autovista24 Monthly Market Update, many major European used-car markets saw RVs fall across the last 12 months. In December 2024, these values hit a new low in Austria, Germany, Italy, Spain and Switzerland.
This RV decline has been a while in the making. The COVID-19 pandemic saw values pushed to exceptional heights. Then, as supply increased and demand began to drag, residual values came under increasing pressure.
However, is this imbalance likely to continue into 2025? How will specific powertrains and segments perform in the coming year? And what key market indicators do Autovista Group experts use to analyse the market?
These questions will be addressed in a new webinar on 30 January 2025. Register today for: Autovista Group’s 2025 residual value outlook.
This follows another much-anticipated webinar: Blessing or curse: The impact of EU tariffs on BEVs made in China. Watch it now on Autovista24.
Insights for 2025
Appearing on the webinar panel to outline, analyse and explain Autovista Group’s residual outlook will be:

The webinar will then move on to Autovista Group’s expectations for 2025, including an exploration of different powertrains. This will include an insight into the indicators used to analyse the market and inform forecasts.
Autovista Group’s experts will also examine several important market specifics. This will include specific segment situations and how current geo-political tensions could affect RV trends in Europe. The panel will then conclude the webinar by taking questions from the audience.
