In 2024, approximately **** million passenger cars and **** million commercial vehicles had been sold in China. Passenger vehicle sales regained growth since 2021 after three consecutive years of decline. Vehicles sales The automobile industry has been a major driving force in China’s economic momentum and, despite slowing growth, expected to continue fueling the economy. China was the world’s leading car producing country in 2023, producing approximately ** million passenger cars and claiming ******* of total global vehicle production. However, while passenger car sales in China have been skyrocketing since 2008, they have slowed somewhat since 2017. Type of vehicles During the slowdown in the vehicle sales in China, the sale of minivans, multipurpose vehicles (MPV) and sedans have slowed, but the number of SUVs sold has increased in the same year, although all sales for passenger cars started slowing down since 2017. While the gas guzzling SUV is the most popular type of passenger car in China, the production of new energy vehicles is also on the rise since the government has been promoting their use. The export value of electric passenger vehicles from China surged in recent years.

Total Vehicle Sales in China increased to 2686000 Units in May from 2590000 Units in April of 2025. This dataset provides - China Total Vehicle Sales- actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

Worldwide car sales grew to around ** million automobiles in 2024, up from around **** million units in 2023. Throughout 2020 and 2021, the sector experienced a downward trend on the back of a slowing global economy, while COVID-19 and the Russian war on Ukraine contributed to shortages in the automotive semiconductor industry and further supply chain disruptions in 2022. Despite these challenges, 2023 and 2024 sales surpassed pre-pandemic levels and are forecast to keep rising through 2025. Covid-19 hits car demand It had been estimated pre-pandemic that international car sales were on track to reach ** million. While 2023 sales are still far away from that goal, this was the first year were car sales exceeded pre-pandemic values. The automotive market faced various challenges in 2023, including supply shortages, automotive layoffs, and strikes in North America. However, despite these hurdles, the North American market was among the fastest-growing regions in 2024, along with Eastern Europe and Asia, as auto sales in these regions increased year-on-year. Chinese market recovers After years of double-digit growth, China's economy began to lose steam in 2022, and recovery has been slow through 2023. China was the largest automobile market based on sales with around **** million units in 2023. However, monthly car sales in China were in free-fall in April 2022 partly due to shortages, fears over a looming recession, and the country grappling with the COVID-19 pandemic. By June of that same year, monthly sales in China were closer to those recorded in 2021.

In 2024, overall vehicle sales in China amounted to almost ***** million units, an increase of *** percent compared to the previous year. For the fourth year in a row, sales in 2022 showed an upward trend. Vehicle sales growth in China With a sales volume of approximately ***** million motor vehicles, China was the worlds’ largest market for automobiles. Vis-à-vis U.S. car market in 2021, about eleven million units more had been sold in China. This boom in domestic market demand could be explained by China’s spectacular economic growth, which in terms is expressed by the formation of a prosperous middle class. China as a major car manufacturer China had also become the world’s biggest automobile producer since 2017, with almost ******* of total global passenger vehicles produced in mainland China. The economic reforms of the early 1980s required foreign carmakers to form joint ventures with domestic auto producers in China. Over the past decades, a couple of large independent domestic auto brands have emerged. However, domestic carmakers generally lack technological know-how and market access when compared to their foreign rivals. As a result, foreign automakers generally enjoy larger market shares and higher profit margins in China. Overseas, Chinese autos tend to be sold to other developing countries where selling prices seem to a major determinant to consumers’ decisions.

Electric Car Registrations in China increased to 1329000 Units in June from 1307000 Units in May of 2025. This dataset includes a chart with historical data for China Electric Car Registrations.

India was the second-biggest market in the region, with nearly *** million unit sales in 2024. China - the biggest passenger car market China is by far the largest passenger car market in the world. Over half of the Asia-Pacific region’s and over a third of the world’s passenger car sales were attributed to China. The country’s car production is more than sufficient to meet domestic demand. However, China lags behind in passenger motor vehicle exports, with a value of around **** billion U.S. dollars in 2023, less than half of Germany’s passenger car export value. Electric vehicles development Electric vehicles (EVs) have increasingly gained popularity over the years, with their market share in passenger car sales more than tripling since 2020. In China, the largest EV market in the world, approximately *** million battery-electric passenger (BEV) cars were sold. This aligns with the success of three of the leading Chinese EV manufacturers, BYD, SAIC, and Geely-Volvo, who are among the best-selling BEV manufacturers globally. Yet, the BEV sector still faces challenges as customers remain concerned about driving range and charging time. Customers in the Asia-Pacific, in particular, tend to favor gas or diesel engines or hybrid engines over battery EVs.

Chinese EVs now represent nearly 10% of new car sales in Norway, highlighting a significant shift in the automotive market over five years.

Climate change has been a global matter of concern for some time now. While some countries debate the existence of this issue, others are rapidly working towards turning the clock back and saving the planet.
