· China's overseas shipment in July increased by 63% YoY to 310,000 vehicles, totaling 2.65 million vehicles for the first seven months of the year.

· According to data from the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA), local brands exported 248,000 vehicles in July, accounting for 80% of total exports.

In July, Chinese domestic brands delivered more vehicles overseas, propelling a two-thirds growth in monthly exports and thereby extending China's lead over Japan as the world's largest car exporter.

Data compiled by the China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) reveals that overseas shipments in July surged by 63% to reach 310,000 vehicles, contributing to a total of 2.65 million vehicles for the first seven months of the year. The CPCA notes that local brands accounted for 248,000 units in July, making up 80% of total exports.

Shanghai-based independent analyst Gao Shen stated, "Car manufacturers are maintaining their export momentum, with growing demand for Chinese cars encouraging assemblers to increase production." He added, "More and more Chinese automakers are now seeking to strengthen sales in overseas markets."

The latest figures have expanded China's lead over Japan by 15.8%. In the first half of the year, China exported 2.34 million cars, surpassing the 2.02 million cars of Japanese brands reported by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JJAMA). Japan's car exports in 2022 stood at 3.5 million units.

It's worth noting that China's export growth rate in July slowed by 24.4% compared to June's shipment of 410,000 units. Nevertheless, analysts suggest that with Chinese-manufactured cars gaining popularity among consumers in developing countries, growth may accelerate in the coming months.
