Looking ahead to 2024, China's annual automobile exports are expected to hit a new high. With the accumulation of scale and technological advantages…
In June 2024, China exported 490,000 cars, an increase of 18% year-on-year from June 2023 and a decrease of 14% from the previous month. The year-on-year and month-on-month trends are very good; from January to June, China exported 2.93 million cars, with an export growth rate of 25%. The growth rate in the first quarter slowed down compared with the super-high growth rate in the previous three years. The growth rate rebounded from April to May, and fell sharply in June. The main driving force this year is still the improvement of the competitiveness of Chinese products, the slight growth of the European and American markets, and the comprehensive replacement of international brands in the Russian market by Chinese cars under the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, especially the increase in exports brought about by the improvement of China's fuel vehicle export competitiveness. From January to June 2024, China's automobile exports reached 55.2 billion US dollars, with an export growth rate of 18.9%. From January to June 2024, the average export price of automobiles was 19,000 US dollars, which was still basically the same as 19,000 US dollars in 2023.
