In the new energy track, Chinese brands have been singing all the way and have a certain position in the global market.
In the first quarter, global new energy sales increased by 76% year-on-year, and the Chinese market rose hugely
According to the global new energy passenger car sales data released by CleanTechnica, in March 2022, the global sales of new energy passenger cars were 851,500 units, an increase of 60% year-on-year (of which 81% were pure electric), accounting for 15% of the overall market share (of which pure electric was 11%).
In the first quarter, the cumulative global sales volume was 1.9973 million units, and after experiencing problems such as price increases, production suspensions, and chip shortages, the new energy automobile industry withstood the pressure, compared with 1.13 million units in the first quarter of 2021, sales in the first quarter of this year increased by 76% year-on-year.
The Chinese market still accounts for half of the global new energy sales. According to data from the Association, China's domestic new energy vehicle sales in the first quarter were 1.07 million units, an increase of 146.6% year-on-year, far exceeding the increase in global new energy vehicle sales.
Accounting for more than half of global sales, the Chinese market has become the main battlefield for new energy vehicles. Cui Dongshu, secretary general of the Association, said, "China's increase in the world is mainly driven by China's new energy vehicle market to market-oriented promotion, forming a strong endogenous growth momentum. ”
From the perspective of countries, more than half of the top 20 Chinese brands are in number
In the TOP20, Chinese brands occupy a total of 11 seats, including BYD, SAIC-GM-Wuling, SAIC, Chery, GAC, Changan, Dongfeng, Great Wall, Geely, Xiaopeng and Ideal according to the ranking.
Compared with last year, Chinese brands developed rapidly in the first quarter of this year, and 3 seats were added to the TOP20. In the top 20 global new energy brand sales list in 2021, there are only 8 Chinese brands, accounting for the total number of new energy in the world in 2021
28.23% of sales.
This year, there are xiaopeng and ideal new car-making forces on the list, and there is also the arrival of traditional fuel vehicle company Geely Automobile, and the trial production share of Chinese brands in the global market exceeds 50%, with significant progress.
From the brand point of view, BYD's share has increased, and the gap with Tesla has narrowed
The 2021 data shows that the gap between BYD and Tesla is large. BYD ranked Second last year with 593,900 vehicle sales, and although it achieved a year-on-year increase of more than 220% and a global market share of 9.1%, it still has a large gap with the 14.4% market share of electric vehicle giant Tesla, with a sales gap of more than 300,000.
The new energy market is changing with each passing day, in the first quarter of this year, BYD chased after each other, and finally achieved a record of 286,000 vehicles, and finally narrowed the sales gap with Tesla (310,000) to less than 30,000 vehicles, if this trend continues, this year's sales gap will be reduced by 75%.
Saic-GM-Wuling (100,000 vehicles), which ranks third, has a large gap with Tesla and BYD, so this year's global new energy sales crown will still fall in the hands of BYD and Tesla, as to whether BYD can counterattack, the author believes that it is very promising.
From the perspective of models, Chinese brand models account for more than 70%.
Although the first and second models are all teslas, the next three to seven are held by their own brands, and 15 seats in the top twenty.
Among them, in the first quarter, Wuling Hongguang MINIEV stabilized the sales of its own brand new energy with a result of 100,000 vehicles, and the world's third good results. In addition, BYD occupies a total of 6 seats, including Song Pro/Plus PHEV, Qin Plus PHEV, Dolphin, Han EV and other popular models, leading all brands in terms of quantity.
In addition, Chery QQ Ice Cream, Changan Benben EV, Great Wall Euler Good Cat, Xiaopeng P7 and other popular models that are popular in the Chinese market are on the list.
Write at the end:
From the first quarter of last year to the first quarter of this year, the market share of Chinese brands in the new energy market has gradually increased, and driven the increase in the world. In recent years, Chinese brands have ushered in a highlight moment in the global new energy market, performing well in the global market, and each model has a layout, so in the future, Chinese brands are expected to go to sea on a large scale and conquer overseas markets.
