In the global EV sales by major OEMs from Jan to August in 2023, BYD, a leader in the Chinese EV market, recorded an 87.4% YoY growth, remaining on the top of the list. Its solid sales was mainly backed by continuous sales of Song, Yuan Plus(Atto3), Dolphin, and Qin in the Chinese domestic market. Among the top 10 OEMs, BYD is the only group who accounted for over 20.0% of the market share and has been gradually empowering its brand influence in the market. Tesla, following BYD and ranked 2nd on the list, posted a 62.5% YoY growth. Its major products – Model 3/Y – have continuously seen a favorable growth in sales, and particularly, Model Y has been sold more than twice compared to the same period of last year. Although there was a report that the Shanghai Gigafactory saw a 11% decline in sales in September, it is expected to reach the sales target of 1.8 million units by 2023 without difficulties.

Hyundai-KIA Group recorded a 11.7% YoY growth, driven by IONIQ 5 and EV 6 to which E-GMP platform is installed. The Group, who also posted a favorable profit in Q3, is expected to gradually expand its global market share as it plans to launch IONIQ 6, the All-New Kona Electric, and EV 9 in the global market and also has unveiled EV 5 in China.

By region, China boasted its outstanding share in the market, taking up 59.4% in the global EV market. China’s growth momentum of today has been driven by BYD who has achieved a vertical integration through which it manufactures battery as well as electric vehicles. Although there have been concerns about possible decline in EV demands due to ever-fortifying standards for EV subsidy in the European market, Chinese makers including BYD are expected to keep their expansion plans in the region. Whilst local companies are expected to keep their strong holds in their regions where various protectionist measures have heightened trade barriers, industry-state cooperation seems more necessary to secure minerals, components, and local manpower.
