In 2024, Volkswagen experienced a 30.6 percent decrease in net profit, amounting to 12.4 billion euros, mainly due to high costs and one-time restructuring expenses. The company encountered a 3.5 percent decline in overall unit sales, including a nearly 10 percent decrease in deliveries to China, its primary market. Volkswagen's profit margins dropped from 7 percent in 2023 to 5.9 percent due to substantial fixed costs. Looking ahead to 2025, Volkswagen anticipates revenue growth of up to five percent and targets a profit margin ranging between 5.5 and 6.5 percent.
