Car registrations in Slovakia fell sharply in January 2026, dropping 15.4% year-over-year and marking a clear reversal from December 2025, when registrations were still up 1.8% compared with a year earlier. The latest data, updated on 24 February 2026, highlight a sudden weakening in demand at the start of the year.
The figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, with the current reading measuring the change in January 2026 against January 2025, while the previous indicator reflected December 2025 versus December 2024. The shift from modest growth to a double-digit decline suggests a notable cooling in Slovakia’s automotive market as the new year began.
