1 BYD has gained market share again due to the launch of new models, rising from 23.
4% to the current 24% (compared with 22.
1% in the same period last year).
Tesla’s market share is 10.
5 per cent (compared with 13.
4 per cent in the same period last year).
In third place was Geely Volvo, whose share increased by 0.
1% to 8%.
Like BYD, Geely is the only car group that has grown its share in the top 10, from 6.
7% in October 2023 to 8% now.
At the same time, Volkswagen remained in fourth place (5.
8%, down 0.
1%), but lost some advantages over SAIC, which ranked fifth (5.
4%, up 0.1%). Under SAIC, Changan, which ranked sixth, overtook BMW Group, which ranked seventh (3.
5 per cent, down 0.
1 per cent).
Hyundai-Kia, which ranked eighth, fell 0.
1 per cent to 3.
3 per cent, and Stellantis, which ranked ninth, fell 0.
2 to 3 per cent.

1%, down 0.1%). With Tesla’s share declining, we expect to see BYD overtake it in the first half of 2025.
Geely-Volvo (8.
2%, up 0.
4%) rose strongly, thanks to the good performance of its many brands, which jumped from 6.
2% in October 2023 to 8.
2% today.
SAIC (7.
4%) is also on the rise, thanks in large part to Wuling, which has a significant advantage over Volkswagen Group, which ranks fifth (6.
7%, down 0.1%). Below the top five, BMW Group (4.
1%, down 0.
1%) ranked sixth, followed by Hyundai-Kia (4%, down 0.1%). On the whole, Chinese brands continue to maintain a strong growth momentum in the global new energy vehicle market.
In October, Chinese brands not only occupied a dominant position in the domestic market, but also made remarkable achievements in the international market.
Traditional Chinese car brands such as Wuling, Geely, Changan and Chery have all achieved steady growth.
At the same time, China’s new car-building forces such as Deep Blue, Zero run and Xiaopeng have also begun to come to the fore in the highly competitive market.
At the same time, the performance of international giants such as BMW and Volkswagen in the global new energy vehicle market is relatively weak, which exposes the challenges they face in the process of new energy transformation.
These traditional giants need to accelerate their pace to adapt to the rapid changes in the new energy vehicle market and the evolution of consumer demand.
