Chinese passenger car brands fail to make progress across Western Europe

 

According to Schmidt Automotive Research's latest data, Chinese brands continue to see their combined market share account for less than 4% of the West European new passenger car market on a monthly basis. 


Just 3.3% of the total 10.6 million new passenger car market between January and November 2024 were accounted for by the likes of BYD, SAIC-MG and XPENG among other brands. 


As a comparison, Japanese brands accounted for 13.2% of the new car market during the same period, and Korean brands 8.0%

Chinese brand car manufacturer market share Europe

Meanwhile, as additional anti-subsidy EU tariffs began being imposed on Chinese-made BEV models from November, close to one-third of those 0.35 million year-to-date new Sino-models were delivered to non-EU European markets such as the UK – accounting for 27% of those new models – thanks to MG's strong performance in its ancestral home. 


BYD accounted for just 0.4% of the total regional new car market, or just 40,000 units, according to the same dataset.
