S&P Global (NYSE:SPGI) forecasts U.S. auto sales to show modest gains in July 2025, with an expected volume of 1.33 million units, representing a seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 15.9 million units. This marks an improvement from the May-June average of 15.5 million units.
The anticipated sales increase is primarily driven by a surge in battery electric vehicle (BEV) purchases ahead of federal EV incentives expiring on September 30th. BEV market share is projected to exceed 9% in July, up from the 7.3% year-to-date average through May 2025. However, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) and the upcoming expiration of federal incentives could create headwinds for long-term BEV growth.
[ "Expected increase in July auto sales to 15.9 million SAAR from 15.5 million May-June average", "BEV market share projected to reach over 9%, up from 7.3% YTD average", "Pull-ahead demand for EVs expected to boost overall vehicle sales through Q3" ]
