China's Passenger Car Exports Rise Sharply as Domestic Sales Decline in October
China's passenger car exports surged 62.3% in October to about 927,000 vehicles, driven by demand for electric and hybrid models. This growth helped offset a 27.4% decline in domestic sales, which fell to approximately 1.7 million units amid subsidy cuts and economic uncertainty. From January to October, exports exceeded 8 million vehicles, nearly doubling from the previous year, while domestic sales dropped to 14.5 million. Analysts predict exports could surpass 10 million in 2026, with domestic sales reaching a multi-year low around 18.5 million units.
