Q1 2026 in the automotive market – significant growth in new truck registrations and a drop in the import of used cars
The latest report by KPMG in Poland and the Polish Automotive Industry Association shows that the first quarter of 2026 brought further growth in the new passenger car market. During the period under review, 152,000 new vehicles were registered in Poland, representing a 6.7% increase compared to the same period last year.
The share of individual customers is clearly rising – in the first quarter of 2026, they purchased 7.5% more vehicles than in the corresponding period of 2025. At the same time, growth continues in the segment of alternatively powered vehicles, although the pace is slowing – in the first three months of the year, nearly 99,000 such cars were registered (+16.2% year-on-year).
The presence of new players in the market is also becoming increasingly evident – two Chinese brands ranked among the top ten most popular brands in the mass-market segment.
The report is out of a series of quarterly reports aimed to present current trends in the Polish automotive industry, including automotive retail, manufacturing, and financial services. Analysis are based on the most recent registrations, statistical and market data, and is a result of a joint endeavour by the Polish Automotive Industry Association and KPMG in Poland.
