In the booming Chinese electric car market, local manufacturers are engaged in a fierce price war to attract customers and capture a larger share of the growing market. The Chinese electric car industry has seen significant growth in recent years, accounting for 69% of global sales in December 2023, according to Rystad Energy. As a result, manufacturers are now focused on providing customers with high-quality accessories at competitive prices.
Chinese manufacturers have been expanding their presence in international markets and are gaining recognition as some of the most competitive car companies in the world. Despite being home to 129 electric car brands, only 20 have managed to capture at least 1% of the local market share. Chinese consumers, particularly those with high net worth, have high expectations for smart features in electric vehicles, which local manufacturers excel at providing.
At the Auto China motor show, companies such as BYD will showcase their latest innovations and compete with traditional automotive giants like CATL and Toyota for a larger market share. These companies are introducing new technologies and collaborations to meet the demands of Chinese consumers for advanced functions in smart vehicles.
Amidst this growing competition, companies like Li Auto and Tesla have announced price cuts for their models in an effort to remain competitive. However, these price cuts have raised concerns about the impact on local competitors and prompted an investigation by the European Union into subsidies provided to Chinese manufacturers. Despite these concerns, Chinese companies attribute their success to innovation and supply chain efficiency rather than government subsidies.
