According to media reports, Volkswagen Group CEO Oliver Bloom said in an interview that having a market share of more than 10% in China is already very impressive.

Bloom believes that Volkswagen "cannot maintain its leading position at the moment" in the field of electric vehicles in China, though he added that the new models that Volkswagen will release in the next few years will improve its current position.

Bloom said the public "shouldn't have 'utopian' expectations." "If we can achieve double-digit market share in the fast-growing Chinese market for a long time, that is already a very ambitious goal. ”

The data shows that Volkswagen's overall market share in China has dropped from 18% in 2018 to 14% in 2023 due to the gradual rise of domestic EV manufacturers.

Volkswagen is trying to expand its market share in China by appealing to consumers in the low-to-mid-range electric vehicle market, and its products are currently priced higher than many of China's BEV rivals, according to the report.

The day before, it was also reported that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz would visit China later this month, and executives from BMW, Mercedes-Benz and other German companies are expected to go with him.
