According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), the passenger vehicle market maintained structural divergence in June 2026. Domestic demand remained under pressure while exports posted robust growth. Sales of fuel vehicles slumped markedly amid volatile high oil prices, whereas new energy vehicles sustained steady growth with their market share further climbing.

In June 2026, passenger vehicle output reached 2.373 million units and sales hit 2.402 million units, rising 5.9% and 6.6% month-on-month, yet falling 2.8% and 5.3% year-on-year respectively. For the first six months of 2026, cumulative production and sales of passenger vehicles stood at 12.721 million units and 12.72 million units, down 5.9% and 6% year-on-year.
