March 2025: New commercial registrations down, private market up

In the first quarter of 2025, a total of 21,630 new leisure vehicles were registered in Germany – a decrease of 12.9 per cent compared to the same period last year. As predicted, the month of March was also subdued in terms of new registrations: Specifically, the caravan segment recorded a decline of 10.7 per cent compared to the same month last year. Motor caravans were affected even more severely, with new registrations falling by 18.7 per cent.

The main reason for the overall decline in registrations is the delay in new commercial registrations. Due to the late Easter date, the start of the rental season is pushed back, which is why rental vehicles are registered later. These registrations are likely to be reflected in the April figures. In contrast, new registrations in the private customer segment developed positively and exceeded the previous year’s high level in March by more than four per cent.
