BEIJING, Jan. 14 (Xinhua) — China's automobile production and sales volumes will both exceed 34 million units by the end of 2025, reaching new historical highs, according to data released Wednesday by the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM).

By the end of 2025, China will be the global leader for the 17th consecutive year in these indicators, with 34.531 million and 34.4 million units, respectively, representing year-on-year growth of 10.4 percent and 9.4 percent. Both vehicle production and sales have exceeded 30 million units for three consecutive years.

According to CAAM data, last year's production and sales of new energy vehicles (NEVs) amounted to 16.626 million and 16.49 million units, respectively, showing year-on-year growth of 29 percent and 28.2 percent, making China the world's top manufacturer for 11 consecutive years.

The passenger vehicle market in China is growing steadily. By the end of 2025, both production and sales in the country were expected to exceed 30 million units. Specifically, the share of Chinese brands in total passenger vehicle sales was 69.5%, up 4.3 percentage points from 2024. At the same time, the commercial vehicle market showed an improving trend, with both production and sales volumes of these vehicles returning to over 4 million units.

In the whole of 2025, China exported more than 7 million vehicles, including 2.615 million new energy vehicles.

"In 2025, China's automobile industry continued to demonstrate high resilience and vitality. A number of indicators in this sector reached new highs," noted CAAM Deputy Secretary-General Chen Shihua, adding that the country's automobile production and sales growth in 2025 exceeded expectations thanks to the implementation of a program aimed at promoting a new round of large-scale equipment upgrades and trade-in of consumer goods, as well as the launch of new vehicle models and continued growth in final demand.
