Belgium’s car registrations declined in October 2026, with the indicator falling to -5.90% year-over-year, according to data updated on 2 November 2026. The latest reading marks a notable reversal from September 2026, when registrations were still growing at 1.90% compared with the same month a year earlier.
The figures are based on a year-over-year comparison, where the current October value reflects the change versus October of the previous year, and the September figure reflects the change versus September a year earlier. The shift from modest growth in September to a clear contraction in October suggests a cooling in Belgium’s auto market heading into the final quarter of 2026.
