1% to 22.
4% (21.
9% a year ago), while Tesla’s share was 11.
6% as of June (14.

3 per cent in June 2023.

5% share) has been increasing its share recently, in sharp contrast to Stellantis.

1%, but compared with the same period last year, its share has dropped by 3.8%. Next was BYD (15.

5%, thanks to the good performance of many of its brands.
Volkswagen Group (6.
9%) benefited from the weakness of SAIC Motor Group (6.

5%, up 0.
2% from May), is rising, followed by Hyundai Kia, ranked seventh (4.3%). If SAIC Motor does not find a way to increase its share, it may be left behind by BMW and Hyundai Kia by 2025.
