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.
