With domestic demand declining and exports surging, the automotive market has undergone a structural shift in the first half of the year.

The China Passenger Car Association and the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers have successively released June and first-half passenger car production and sales figures.

As domestic demand remains under pressure and overseas markets step in to provide a safety net, the new‑energy vehicle sector is also showing signs of fragmentation: battery‑electric vehicles continue to strengthen, while the growth dividend from range‑extender models has largely evaporated, signaling that transitional strategies are being phased out at an accelerating pace.
