China's BYD Continues Massive EV Exports. It Isn't Helping. — Barrons.com

BYD sold 483,125 passenger vehicles in October, up 11% from a year earlier. Domestic sales fell almost 10% to about 310,000, while exports rose 104% to 170,194 vehicles, about 35% of total sales. Year-to-date exports reached 1.5 million cars, up more than 90%.

What happened

BYD sold 490,168 vehicles in October, up 11% from a year earlier and marking its sixth straight month of sales growth. Overseas shipments rose 102.8% to 170,194, while overall growth slowed from 17% in September. One report said domestic sales fell almost 10%.

Global impact / market context

Overseas sales helped offset weak domestic demand and price competition. But slower overall growth and a reported fall in domestic sales show that sales strength varied by market. A possible China-EU deal could also bring new limits on Chinese hybrid imports.

What to watch

  1. Check BYD’s next monthly sales figures to see whether total growth continues to slow or improves.
  2. Check the next overseas shipment figures to see whether exports continue to help offset weak domestic demand.
  3. Check for updates on the possible China-EU deal and any import limits, since BYD was named a top exporter of hybrids to the EU.
