Vehicle kilometres travelled (VKMT) is a key metric that determines the size of many sectors (tire sell-out, crash repair, paint refinish, fuel etc) and industries that serve them.
Astutus Research provides up-to-date analysis of this market, with more than 20 years of historic data [from 2000], and forecasts to 2030. Kilometres travelled are disaggregated to the country level and segmented between passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. We provide annual data, updated each quarter:
· Historic data from 2000, with ‘actual’ data to 2024
· Forecasts for 2025-2030
· Detailed separately for 26 European markets
· Segmented between cars and light commercial vehicles
· Numerous benchmarks, including annual mileage per vehicle and per capita miles travelled.
The data is provided as an interactive Power BI report with an Excel dataset for ease of use and is accompanied by a PowerPoint report that summarises the key developments.
