The shortage of chips continues to increase with the increase in new energy, and the sales volume of BYD and Tesla hit a new high.

Zhou point of view update: affected by the shortage of chips, the domestic automobile market "Jinjiu" is no longer, some mainframe factory sales decline significantly in September compared with the same period last year, month-on-month growth rate is limited. In terms of sales structure, the sales of traditional fuel vehicles were in the doldrums in September, while the high growth of new energy vehicles continued unabated. New energy vehicles from new energy car factories and traditional mainframe factories all made remarkable achievements in September, of which BYD sold 70000 new energy vehicles in September, a record high; Tesla Q3 delivered a total of 241000 vehicles, refreshing the best results in a single season; Volkswagen ID. The delivery volume of family, Weilai and Xiaopeng all exceeded 10,000 in September. At present, there is a significant contrast between the market performance of new energy vehicles and traditional fuel vehicles, and the major mainframe factories strive to ensure the delivery of new energy vehicles.

According to the statistics of the Automobile Federation, the domestic car retail volume reached an average of 41000 per day in the first four weeks of September 2021, down 13 per cent from the same period last year and an increase of 3 per cent month-on-month, with a relatively lacklustre performance. At present, the epidemic situation in Malaysia is still grim, so that the domestic car chip supply problem did not improve significantly in September. We expect that the domestic supply of automotive chips will still be under pressure in the fourth quarter, or limit the production capacity of some vehicle factories to a certain extent, but the general trend of continuous improvement in the market boom will remain unchanged from the beginning of September to the end of the year. China's automobile production and sales are expected to grow by 10% year-on-year in 2021. According to the Forecast of the Automobile Federation, the sales of new energy vehicles in China are expected to exceed 3 million in 2021.
