China's automobile exports continue to climb, reaching 1.54 million units in the first quarter of 2025—a 16% year-on-year increase, according to the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA). The growth underscores the country’s expanding role as a global vehicle supplier, driven by strong international demand for both internal combustion and new energy vehicles (NEVs).
March alone saw exports hit 570,000 units, also up 16% from the same period last year, as revealed by CPCA Secretary General Cui Dongshu in a recent WeChat post. This performance reflects consistent overseas interest in Chinese automotive brands, especially in emerging markets across Asia, Latin America, and parts of Europe.
Industry analysts attribute the surge to competitive pricing, improved quality, and technological advances in China’s automotive sector, particularly in electric vehicle (EV) innovation. Brands such as BYD, Chery, Geely, and SAIC continue to expand their global presence, capitalizing on China’s efficient supply chains and government-backed incentives for EV production.
With global automotive markets recovering and EV adoption accelerating, China is poised to maintain its momentum in auto exports throughout 2025. The 16% growth in Q1 signals a strong start, positioning the country to potentially break previous annual export records and further solidify its status as the world’s leading car exporter.
This positive trend also reflects Beijing's broader strategy to dominate clean energy transportation on the international stage, leveraging both policy support and manufacturing scale. As foreign markets increasingly shift toward electrification, China’s automotive export performance will remain a key economic indicator and global competitiveness benchmark.
