Croatia’s car market is shifting up a gear. New passenger car registrations in the country rose by 12.6% in the first 10 months of 2024, reaching 57,181 vehicles, according to provisional data from the European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA).
Petrol-powered cars continue to dominate the roads, accounting for 27,255 of new registrations, but the popularity of hybrid electric vehicles is surging. With 14,998 hybrid electric cars registered—up 33.9% from last year—Croatian drivers are clearly embracing the shift to greener mobility. Diesel cars, while less popular, still saw 10,988 registrations.
Plug-in hybrid models experienced the steepest growth, with a 39.8% spike in registrations, while battery electric vehicle (BEV) sales rose by 17.7% to 1,608 units. Though electric vehicles are still a smaller slice of the market, their steady growth points to a future where Croatia might become a significant player in the EV landscape.
Croatia’s car market growth stands out in a broader European context. While the EU’s total new car registrations rose only slightly by 0.7% this year, Croatia has consistently posted double-digit growth, including a 31% surge in 2023 when registrations hit 57,694 vehicles.
With these figures, Croatia is clearly accelerating toward a more dynamic and sustainable automotive future.
