Belgium’s car registration market weakened in May 2026, with the indicator declining by 2.10% year-over-year, according to data updated on 3 June 2026. This marks a shift from April 2026, when the year-over-year change in registrations was flat at 0.00%.

The figures indicate that, compared with the same month a year earlier, May saw fewer new car registrations, while April’s registrations had merely matched the prior year’s level. The data are based on a year-over-year comparison, where both the current and previous readings measure the change in registrations relative to the corresponding month of the previous year.
