Industry experts predict a bright future for China’s EV industry, with the potential to capture a staggering 60% of the global market share by 2030. This translates to a projected annual sales volume of 60 million EVs, a significant jump from the current global figure. This optimistic outlook stems from a confluence of factors. Firstly, China already boasts a commanding 32% share of the global automobile market and over 60% of the global EV market share.
Secondly, the shift towards EVs presents a unique opportunity for China to “overtake on a curve.” While traditional automakers from Europe, America, and Japan previously dominated the market with their expertise in internal combustion engine technology, the rise of EVs has leveled the playing field. Batteries, motors, and electronic controls – the core components of EVs – are areas where China has rapidly developed its capabilities. China’s success in the EV market can be attributed to government incentives like subsidies and infrastructure, a vast domestic market with a growing middle class, and a surge in homegrown EV technology that challenges established players. This potent mix has propelled China to the top of the global EV market.
