Residual value pressure, shifts in market dynamics, and EV momentum

Europe’s used-car market is under pressure from numerous shifting dynamics. What will the situation be by the end of this year? A panel of Autovista Group experts outline what to expect with Autovista24 editor Tom Geggus in a new webinar.

So far, 2025 has been defined by uncertainty amid geopolitical tensions, economic instability and trade troubles. This has put Europe’s used-car market under increasing pressure.

How have these adverse factors influenced outlooks? Are residual values (RVs) still expected to decline towards the end of 2025? How is this impacting market dynamics and powertrains? What does this mean for new brands entering Europe? These questions were at the forefront of Autovista Group’s latest webinar.

On the panel was Ana Azofra, regional head of valuations for Southwest Europe and Poland. She was joined by Dr Anne Lange, director of research and innovation. Completing the panel was Robert Madas, regional head of valuations for Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as Central and Eastern Europe.
