China’s Auto Market Records Strong Growth in H1, 2025

China’s auto industry and sales recorded strong growth in the first half of this year, indicating continued momentum in domestic demand in the world’s second-largest economy.

According to data from the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers, total vehicle production in China reached 15.62 million units during the first six months of the year, a 12.5% ​​year-on-year increase, while sales rose 11.4% to 15.65 million units.

The data showed that new energy vehicle production rose 41.4% to approximately 6.97 million units, while sales climbed 40.3% to 6.94 million units.

Despite this strong growth, the Chinese government summoned major electric vehicle manufacturers to a warning meeting in June, urging them to halt “unjustified price cuts” that could affect market stability.
