Yesterday, I seen that BYD’s share of the Chinese language auto market actually had grown quite a bit over the course of the yr, and I produced an article that includes month-to-month market share charts to visualise that. Within the feedback, a reader, Mike Sarcione, famous, “Zach didn’t include Tesla’s Chinese market share in his recent article, but that would be good FYI.” I consider that was referencing my article from the day earlier than, “Is Tesla On Track for Sales Growth (or Sales Decline) in 2024?.” It was an amazing suggestion, so right here we’re.
On this case, I’m including one further chart on high of the 2 kinds of charts I created for BYD. Along with charts on Tesla’s share of the Chinese language auto market and Tesla’s share of the Chinese language NEV market, I’m additionally together with a chart exhibiting Tesla’s month-to-month gross sales in China. Let’s get into it.
To start with, simply Tesla’s month-to-month gross sales in China, we will see that the primary two months of the yr (which embody the Chinese language New Yr, a really down interval for auto gross sales) have been notably weak months. March confirmed a reasonably robust rebound, however then the corporate had a fairly weak interval till August. General, as talked about within the aforementioned Tesla-focused article, the corporate’s gross sales in China have been down yr over yr by way of the primary 8 months of the yr. (Additionally, whereas July seems like a down month within the chart above, Tesla’s gross sales have been truly up 47% yr over yr; and whereas August seems like a a lot better month, Tesla’s gross sales have been truly down 2% yr over yr.)
However how did these ups and downs relate to the market general within the first 8 months of the yr? I’m glad you requested. Let’s take a look.
Effectively, we’ve acquired Tesla’s quarterly up and down tendencies which were frequent on the firm for the reason that starting. That results in what appear to be robust fluctuations. Nevertheless, general, the vary is from 1.3% of the Chinese language auto market to 2.6%. Usually, we will that Tesla is hovering at round 2% of the Chinese language auto market.
Taking a look at Tesla’s share of the brand new vitality car (NEV) market, which incorporates each full battery-electric automobiles (BEVs) and plugin hybrids (PHEVs), it’s an identical story. Although, Tesla clearly did higher within the first quarter. On common, the corporate had 6.6% of the Chinese language NEV market within the first 8 months of the yr.
In brief, although, I don’t see any robust tendencies with regard to Tesla gross sales or market share in China. That’s a transparent distinction to BYD, which has seen its share of the Chinese language auto market rise fairly steadily all through 2024.
There’s not such a powerful development when BYD’s share of the Chinese language NEV market. I take that to imply that the NEV market is rising quick and hyper-competitive, which it’s. There’s loads of competitors on the NEV market. BYD does dominate it, however it’s truly a relentless problem to simply preserve market share — as Tesla’s third chart above reveals very effectively.
Some other ideas on these gross sales tendencies and market share tendencies in China?
