Every month, the Mobility Minute<\/strong> and the Consumption Minute<\/strong> explore two major trends transforming consumer behaviour in France and across Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presented by Flavien Neuvy, economist and Director of the Cetelem Observatory, these two analyses provide a one-minute overview of the developments shaping the mobility and consumer markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

In October 2025, two major issues stand out:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
    \n
  • France\u2019s cultural sector generates around \u20ac50 billion in added value.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n
  • The planned phase-out of new combustion-engine car sales from 2035 is facing growing opposition<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/div><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n

    Mobility Minute: uncertainty is growing around the 2035 combustion-engine phase-out<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
    \n

    Adopted on 18 April 2023<\/strong> as part of the European Green Deal, the 2035 target was designed to end sales of new combustion-engine cars and support the European Union\u2019s objective of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    More than two years later, that trajectory is increasingly being questioned.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

    \n

    New-car sales remain low, electric vehicles are gaining ground more slowly than initially expected, and political opposition has intensified at the highest level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
