Porsche AG undergoes leadership transition at the helm
In the first half of 2025, Porsche's electric Macan has emerged as a significant sales driver for the luxury car manufacturer, propelling its global electrification strategy forward.
**Global Sales**
The Macan, Porsche's top-selling model worldwide, saw a 15% year-over-year increase, with 45,137 units delivered. Nearly 60% of these sales were fully electric, demonstrating Porsche's commitment to electrification[2][4].
**North America**
North America remains Porsche's largest market, with total deliveries reaching a record high of 43,577 units, up 10% compared to the first half of 2024. The electric Macan, which sold 14,563 units in North America alone, surpassed the Cayenne SUV's sales[1][2][3].
**Europe**
European deliveries saw a decline overall, with non-German European countries experiencing an 8% drop and Germany itself seeing a 23% decrease. This regional sales challenge, however, did not deter Porsche's global electrification momentum[2].
**China and Overseas/Emerging Markets**
Deliveries in the Overseas and Emerging Markets region, which includes China, increased by 10% to 30,158 units, marking a new sales milestone for Porsche. This growth suggests significant uptake of the electric Macan and other models in these markets[2][3].
Despite a six percent decrease in global deliveries for the first half of 2025, the electric Macan's strong sales performance across different regions underscores Porsche's successful electrification efforts. The Cayenne, previously the top seller, saw a 23 percent drop in sales in the first half of 2025.
It's worth noting that the positions of Mr. Bernd Förtsch, the management and majority shareholder of Börsenmedien AG, which publishes this article, include financial instruments of Porsche. Porsche is currently facing a challenging global environment in the second half of the year[5][6].
The electrification efforts of Porsche are widely considered the right long-term strategy, and the company continues to drive these efforts forward. However, regional sales challenges in Europe outside Germany indicate that the road to full electrification may still present some hurdles[2].
