According to a Chinese auto company, in 2023, China is expected to surpass Japan as the world’s largest vehicle exporter. Automakers such as BYD Auto, Chery, and others are reporting higher sales abroad, according to the Chinese Passenger Car Association (CPCA). According to the CPCA, Chinese auto exports reached a record 3.83 million units, a 62 percent increase. Without taking into account used cars, Japanese customs data for the first 11 months of the year showed that the country exported 3.5 million cars. An estimated 5.26 million automobiles were exported by China in total last year. According to the CPCA, Japan was expected to export 4.3 million units for the entire year.
The strength of China’s electric vehicle (EV) automakers has contributed to the country’s climb to prominence as an auto exporter. Late last year, BYD surpassed Tesla to become the world’s largest EV seller. However, the majority of the sales took place in China. Some governments fear that sales of their own manufacturers may be impacted by Chinese vehicle exports. The European Commission opened an investigation into possible subsidies for Chinese-made electric vehicles in September. Furthermore, as the Wall Street Journal revealed last month, the administration of US President Joe Biden is thinking about boosting duties on a few Chinese products, like electric vehicles.
The world’s largest auto market is in China. There, car sales increased by 5.3% the previous year. In China, sales of battery-powered cars rose by 20.8 percent in the previous year. And last year, hybrid car sales increased by 82.5 percent. This year, sales of automobiles manufactured in China are predicted to account for 63% of overall sales in the country. Chinese auto sales increased by 15.7% in the previous year. It is anticipated that competition would grow. Last month, Xiaomi, a well-known Chinese smartphone manufacturer, unveiled its first electric car. It declared that one of its goals is to rank among the top five automakers globally.
