Global NEV markets are seeing steady growth in EV penetration. China’s growth is cooling from a high base, whereas the US pivots to hybrids and Western Europe sees policy-driven growth. BYD has overtaken Tesla in BEV sales and maintains its lead in PHEVs, with Geely also gaining share in both categories. Although rising memory costs pose a challenge, automakers remain focused on securing a stable supply.

Key Highlights 

  • Global Trend: 2026 growth decelerates. Smart features drive memory demand; automakers prioritize supply stability over cost.
  • Regional Markets:
    • China:Growth slows due to tighter subsidies and tax reinstatement.
    • US:BEVs decline as incentives end; Hybrids (HEV) become the main driver.
    • W. Europ:Policies diverge; The EU eases its emission reduction roadmap, as REEVs emerge as the new battleground.
  • Competition: BYD surpasses Tesla in BEVs. Tesla loses share due to aging lineups. Chinese brands like Geely surge and expand globally to counter domestic saturation.
