Nearly one in ten new cars in the EU comes from China

You're increasingly seeing brands on the street that were hardly a topic in Europe just a few years ago? You're not imagining it. A current analysis of the European auto market shows: nearly one in ten newly registered cars in the European Union now comes from a Chinese manufacturer. The market share has risen to around ten percent.

Electric cars as drivers of change

What's making this development possible is the e-car boom. The share of pure electric cars in new registrations in the EU is rising significantly—and precisely in this segment, Chinese manufacturers are catching up disproportionately. They are particularly well-positioned in pure electric drivetrains and are benefiting from buyers' growing interest in EVs.

The new competitive landscape in the auto market

While the European auto industry is in transition, the gains among Chinese manufacturers are disproportionately large. This is noticeably shifting the balance of power in the European market. A development that is also due to the fact that established manufacturers still have catching up to do in the e-segment.

What this means for you

If you're currently thinking about buying a car, your choice is noticeably expanding. The number of electric cars from Chinese production is growing—and with it, competition across the entire e-car segment. This is a development that is likely to continue shaping the European auto market in the coming months.
