Ford is a shadow of its former self in Europe, where it has spectacularly fallen behind the competition. A look at the sales data published by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association shows the Blue Oval delivered 1.2 million cars on the continent in 2005, holding an 8.3 percent market share. Fast-forward 20 years, and deliveries plummeted to just 256,750 in the first ten months of 2025, dropping Ford’s market share to 2.9 percent, according to the same ACEA. The remaining two months are unlikely to move the needle.
