Residual Value Outlook 2026: What’s Next for Europe’s Used Vehicle Markets?

For the last few years, used-car markets across Europe have been under pressure, and the second half of 2026 is shaping up to be just as unpredictable. However, in this webinar, you’ll get a clear, data-backed view of where residual values are heading, and why.

What’s Driving Europe’s Residual Value Movements in the Second Half of the Year?

Behind every shift in used-car pricing is a web of macroeconomic pressures, supply-demand imbalances, and powertrain-level dynamics that are constantly evolving. In 2026, that complexity has only deepened. 

Meanwhile, the UK used-car market, one of Europe’s largest and most distinctive, is following its own trajectory. 

In this session, our valuations experts will walk you through the latest residual value forecasts, the macro forces behind the numbers, and what it all means for vehicle value retention across the markets you operate in. 

Register for the webinar 

Join us on 16 July at 10:30 BST / 11:30 CEST,  for a live session covering the latest used-car market forecasts, depreciation trends, and key industry questions for the second half of 2026.

Turning EV Trends into Strategic Advantage

Knowing how adoption, policy, and technology are shaping the EV market allows you to act proactively and stay ahead of the curve. 

  • Forecast adoption curves - As hybrid, PHEV, and ICE sales extend past 2035, use EV Volumes to plan for slower BEV growth and adjust production and inventory strategies accordingly.  
  • Monitor regulatory and market pressures – With EV Volumes, you can benchmark scenarios to stress-test your forecasts and plan for policy-driven risks. 
  • Stay ahead of policy and technology trends – Monitor and track signals with EV Volumes to identify which markets and segments will gain traction first. 

With BEV growth slowing, diverging adoption rates across Europe, new technologies and brands entering the market, staying ahead requires more than intuition.  

Get the right market intelligence to benchmark trends, anticipate regional differences, and plan strategies that align with how Europe’s EV transition is unfolding.
