New Car Sales YoY measures the annual percentage change in the number of new passenger vehicles registered or sold. It is a critical leading indicator of consumer confidence and overall economic health, as car purchases represent a significant discretionary expense for households. High sales figures often suggest rising personal incomes and a positive economic outlook, while declining sales can signal a cooling economy.
The indicator is calculated by comparing the total number of new car registrations or sales in the current month to the same month in the previous year. Data is typically collected from national transport authorities or automotive industry associations.
